Modern Concepts in Nasal Deprojection

The overprojected nose, also known as a long nose, is a consequence of several interrelated factors. Standardized nasofacial assessment typically is approached through the anterior, lateral, and basal views. The senior author (R.J.R.) has developed an algorithmic approach to deprojection. The algorithm, presented in this article, allows for less aggressive methods to be followed while permitting a cartilage excision modality combined with construct supporting techniques when needed.

The overprojected nose, also known as a long nose, is caused by multiple factors. Standardized nasofacial assessment is usually done through the anterior, lateral, and basal views. This article presents an algorithmic approach to deprojection, allowing for less aggressive methods and the use of cartilage excision and supporting techniques when necessary.
