In this 2-volume rhinoplasty series, Dr. L. Mike Nayak shares his approach to various challenges facing rhinoplasty surgeons today. Cases range from soft cartilage with thick skin to strong, bulbous cartilage with thin skin. Defects of the nasal dorsal width, projection, and axis are also addressed.
Each case begins with analysis of nasal aesthetics and anatomy and formulation of a surgical plan. Then, using open techniques for maximum visibility, Dr. Nayak demonstrates a logical, stepwise, and reproducible surgical correction, focusing on predictable, stable, and functional results. Throughout each case, he discusses the rationale for each maneuver performed. While the basic foundation of the procedure is shared among all the cases in this series, each case has been selected for particularly unique challenges.
