The Short Nose

Jeffrey D Cone Jr et al. Clin Plast Surg. 2016 Jan.

Abstract

The causes of the short nose deformity vary greatly, from congenital malformations to acquired deformities. Despite this degree of variation, key commonalities exist, namely, a shortened nasal length, overrotation of the nasal tip, and increased nostril show. This article is designed to help the reader identify precise causes of the short nose, outline associated anatomy, and discuss reliable surgical techniques to correct this deformity.

Keywords: Lengthening the nose; Nasal elongation; Revision rhinoplasty; Rib graft rhinoplasty; Secondary rhinoplasty; Short nose.
