You may qualify if…

• Patients seeking primary rhinoplasty for aesthetic and/or functional indications.
• Presence of inadequate nasal tip projection and/or rotation suitable for correction using lateral crural steal with columellar strut graft.
• Ability to provide written informed consent and comply with follow-up visits.

You may not qualify if…

• History of prior nasal surgery.
• History of severe nasal trauma, altering cartilage architecture.
• Significant functional nasal obstruction requiring complex external nasal valve reconstruction.
• Patients with excessively wide alar base requiring alar base reduction involving vestibular sill excision (to prevent confounding on projection/rotation).
• Patients with facial skeletal or developmental abnormalities e.g. maxillary hypoplasia, maxillary prognathism, dentofacial deformities.
• Patients with psychiatric illness or Body Dysmorphic Disorder.
• Significant medical comorbidities contraindicating elective surgery or general anesthesia.
