Abstract
Rhinoplasty requires a thorough evaluation of both functional and aesthetic aspects of the nose. To this regard, it is advisable to collect as much information as possible before the procedure and also, on the other hand, to check the final results after surgery.
Based on our experience in Italy, we present hereafter the tools and methods we use in our clinical practice to assess both morphological and functional aspects of the nose, based principally on the processing of data obtained through CT scan with the help of specific workstations which allow to predict surgical outcomes.
