Video Summary

In this comprehensive webinar hosted with the American Society of Plastic Surgery, key insights into the nuances of rhinoplasty were discussed by three Colombian plastic surgeons: Dr. Rolando Prada, Dr. Diego Caicedo, and Dr. Eduardo Vallejo. Dr. Prada addressed secondary rhinoplasty, focusing on correcting anomalies post-initial surgery. He highlighted the importance of accurate diagnosis, surgical planning, and utilizing multiple graft types, such as cartilage grafts, due to their reliability in providing structural stability.<br /><br />Dr. Caicedo discussed the evolution and versatility required in nose surgery, emphasizing the integration of both aesthetic and reconstructive approaches tailored to individual facial structures. He underscored the importance of preserving natural nasal tissues while also employing strategic reconstruction techniques in more complex cases involving congenital, traumatic, or aesthetic issues.<br /><br />Dr. Vallejo presented on a semi-open rhinoplasty technique that allows direct visualization of nasal structures without leaving a columnar scar. This method involves marginal and intercartilaginous incision approaches that facilitate precise modifications to the nasal tip and dorsum. Vallejo also highlighted the challenges posed by thick-skinned, mestizo populations and advocated for injecting isotretinoin to achieve better outcomes.<br /><br />The webinar included discussions on the utilization of various grafts, such as septal and ear cartilage or even rib grafts, tailored to the requirements of the procedure—primary or secondary rhinoplasty. While advancements like ultrasonic rhinoplasty were mentioned, the consensus on its utility remains cautious. Throughout, emphasis was placed on personalized patient analysis, maintaining harmony with facial proportions, and achieving natural, long-lasting results.
