Project Name:
Roadmap to Nasal Support Structures: A Histologic Analysis
Project Summary:
While gross dissection of the nose has revealed much of the pertinent nasal support anatomy, a more detailed histologic analysis has not been accomplished. We hypothesize that with detailed analysis, readers of this study will gain better understanding of the true originations and terminations of key nasal support anatomy – which will then allow for a more tailored anatomic approach to rhinoplasty. The purpose of this study is to be the first to histologically describe the nasal ligaments and thereby facilitate both structural and preservation rhinoplasty.
