MethodsFor shrinking the tip of nose and making the nose look more harmonious, we not only dealt with the nasal tip, also the nasal dorsum, nasal alar, nasal threshold, inside pedal and nasal base. In two years, we measured the changes before and after operation in 60 patients (10 males and 50 females, age arange from 18 to 48 years, with average of 29 years. Group A included 30 cases, using auricular cartilage and nasal septum as support; Group B included 30 cases and costal cartilage was used.
ResultsThe prominence of nasal tip, the length of nose were increased (t=20.831, 13.029, P<0.05); the width of the nose and nasal aral basal and nasal tips were reduced (t=8.461, 11.877, 16.122, P<0.05). After the follow-up, 55 patients were satisfied, 3 were dissatisfied, and 2 were lost to follow-up.
