Abstract

Communication of goals and realistic expectations between the surgeon and patient is a crucial step of aesthetic rhinoplasty. Three-dimensional (3D) imaging technology allows for sharing of simulated outcomes in the office setting, thereby facilitating this process. This article highlights the use of 3D rhinoplasty simulation in preoperative assessment and the senior author's preferred surgical technique in open rhinoplasty.
