Video Summary

In this revision rhinoplasty, the patient had a previous surgery causing an overly rotated and foreshortened nose. The surgeon placed bilateral extended spretographs to elongate and derotate the nasal tip, correcting the foreshortening. These extended spretographs extend about five millimeters beyond the native septum, allowing the lower lateral cartilage to be repositioned effectively. This technique aims to deliver an aesthetically pleasing result by enhancing the nose’s proportion and appearance.
