The Long-Term Results Of Suture And Graft Techniques Used To Increase Tip Projection and Rotation In Open Technique Septorhinoplasty

Background: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the long-term results of suture and graft techniques used to increase tip projection and rotation in Open Technique Septorhinoplasty. Methods: In this study, the data of 89 patients who underwent Open Technique Septorhinoplasty were analysed retrospectively. The patients were divided into groups 1,2,3,4 and 5 according to the suture and graft techniques used. Preoperative and postoperative photographs of all patients included in the study at the 1st, 3rd, 6th, 12th, 36th and 60th months were analyzed. To measure and compare these techniques, tip projection and rotation losses were measured on all photographs using a computer program called Imagej. Results: A statistically significant increase was found between the preoperative mean Nasolabial Angle (NLA), Type Angle (TA), Byrd–Hobar Method (BHM) and Nasofacial Angle (NFsA) measurement values and the measurement values at 36th months postoperatively in Groups 1 and 4 (p
