The rhinoplasty operation is one of the most challenging procedures in plastic surgery, and requires a combination of surgical judgment, knowledge of anatomy, technical skill, and lifelong study. A foundation must be built on clearly defined patient goals and an accurate diagnosis, based on known ideals and their anatomical correlation. It is important to recognize the definitive impact of each operative maneuver to achieve predictable outcomes. This article provides a problem-based approach to common cosmetic nasal deformities. The complexities of the rhinoplasty operation have been well-documented for an astonishing 5000 years. The origins, rooted from reconstructive procedures, were described in Egyptian hieroglyphs in 300 bce and Indian Sanskrit in 600 bce. However, the first cosmetic rhinoplasty was not described until John Roe’s correction of the “pug nose” in 1887. Even still, present-day rhinoplasty experts are continually evolving their technique.1 A simple PubMed search for the term “rhinoplasty” yields 11,384 results. Consistent principles include the establishment of patient goals, accurate diagnoses, and the application of known anatomical relationships. This article provides a problem-based approach to the common cosmetic nasal deformities.
