| Background: Correction of the nasal tip in rhinoplasty surgery with better tip support needs a considerable effort. For that issue, we used certain technique which is the use of L-shaped columellar strut fixed in inverted position as septal extension graft for better tip projection and fixation. Aim of Work: Assessment of the use of inverted L-shaped columellar strut in rhinoplasty surgery for correction of nasal tip shape and position with more stable nose. Patients and Methods: This study included 15 patients who are candidate for rhinoplasty surgery for correction of nasal tip. They underwent surgery through open approach rhinoplasty in which special collumellar strut used as septal extension graft to achieve good tip projection with modification of the site of fixation to the caudal septum according to additional nasal deformity present. Assessment of patients done according to the photographs taken and patient’s satisfaction. Results: Of the 15 patients who have undergone this procedure, 15 were available for follow-up. 7 patients showed excellent results, 6 patients were considered as a good outcome and 2 patients were considered as fair results. Conclusion: Inverted L-shaped collumellar struts used as septal extension graft proved to be effective to correct nasal tip shape, position and stability. | ||
