Video Summary

This video demonstrates nasal tip deprojection using the nasal tripod concept, introduced by Dr. Jack Anderson in 1969. The procedure involves shortening the medial crua by 2 millimeters to achieve the desired nasal tip position. The technique emphasizes the role of the lateral and paired medial crua functioning as a tripod. During surgery, the medial crua is shortened and overlapped, sutured into place with monofilament sutures, affecting nostril shape without changing the area significantly. This approach helps rhinoplasty surgeons plan surgeries effectively by understanding nasal tip dynamics and illustrating changes to patients.
