The use and abuse of external incisions in rhinoplasties.

The author emphasizes his basic opposition to the use of external incisions in surgical rhinoplasty with only a few minor exceptions. External incisions are justifiable in only a limited number of cases, and when they are published these cases should be exceptional indeed and not suggested as an alternative technique or as an innovation to be used on a routine basis. The endonasal approach should be used in the vast majority of aesthetic rhinoplasties with only a few exceptions mentioned here.

An old story: an ivory nasal implant.

The author describes the 45-year-old successful survival of a series of ivory implants, used by his father, Dr. Rafael Vilar-Sancho, to repair and reconstruct a severe nasal deformity.

History, 20th Century↗

Rhinoseptoplasty.

Severe deviations of the nasal septum and entire nasal bony and cartilaginous framework can be treated adequately only by a classical rhinoplasty coupled with an atypical submucous resection. All of the cartilaginous and osseous septum are removed and the operation is completed with the insertion of a cartilaginous support formed from cartilage strip grafts obtained from the resected septal cartilage.
