SEPTOCOLUMELAR SUTURE TECHNIQUE AS A NASAL TIP POSITIONING AND PRESERVATION METHOD

<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p> <p>The septocolumellar suture technique is reliable for positioning and reshaping the nasal tip in rhinoplasty. This technique involves placing a loop suture between the medial crura and the caudal septum to maintain, increase, or decrease the projection and rotation of the nasal tip. Successful use of this technique requires proper preoperative analysis and consideration of the strength and position of the nasal septum. Grafts can be used for additional support and definition. The septocolumellar suture technique is valuable for achieving desired nasal tip aesthetics in rhinoplasty.</p>
