Abstract

Background

Rhinoplasty remains among the most challenging procedures to master, focusing on improving nasal appearance and/or function. Open tip rhinoplasty is performed in various methods, including sub- and supra-perichondrial rhinoplasty. This study aimed to compare the effects of sub- and supra-perichondrial rhinoplasty on nasalis muscle function using electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction velocity (NCV).

Methods

Fifty women undergoing cosmetic rhinoplasty were enrolled in this prospective cohort and divided into sub-perichondrial and supra-perichondrial surgery groups. Pre- and two months post-operatively, nasal muscle function was evaluated by EMG and NCV in the two groups.

Results

This study was performed on 43 women aged 29 ± 4.1 years. Both surgeries significantly reduced almost all EMG and NCV parameters (P < 0.05). Still, there was no significant difference in the change of the EMG and NCV amplitude between the two groups (P > 0.05).

Conclusion

Sub- and supra-perichondrial open tip rhinoplasty temporarily reduce the nasal muscles’ function and change EMG and NCV parameters.

Level of evidence Level III, Risk/Prognostic.
