Abstract
The goal of rhinoplasty is to improve the nose aesthetically as well as functionally. Surgical access to the nose can be gained via close rhinoplasty, open rhinoplasty) or a combination of the two. To assess various types of nasal deformities, aesthetic results of open rhinoplasty and pitfalls of open rhinoplasty in patients planned for surgery. This prospective longitudinal study was done in the Department of ENT GMC Jammu between November 2015 and October 2016. This included patients with nasal deformities willing for corrective surgery, above 18 years of age. Postoperative aesthetic parameters were measured to evaluate the aesthetic outcomes on the 2 weeks, 6 weeks and 3 months. Post-operative complications were noted. 20 patients were admitted for open septorhinoplasty; crooked nose was the most common deformity found in 55% of the patients. Nasal trauma (50%) was most common cause of external nasal deformity. Autologous septal cartilage was used in 85% patients while autologous auricular cartilage was used in 15% patients. Eyelid edema was the most common complication seen. In this study according to the patient follow up self-evaluations, 65% patients were partially satisfied and 35% patients are satisfied with the aesthetic results. Additional procedures are required along with rhinoplasty for better results of surgery. Open rhinoplasty is better cosmetic surgery for the correction of nasal framework defects and post-operative complications are quite low with the open rhinoplasty.
