Abstract
The nose is one of the most important parts of the face
aesthetically. As a central landmark of the face, nasal proportions and
symmetry are directly linked to facial beauty.
The aim of rhinoplasty is to create a nose aesthetically pleasing
to the patient without compromising nasal function.
Rhinoplasty necessitates a profound understanding of the nasal
anatomy’s complexity and variability. Careful planning is critical for
success in rhinoplasty.
The patient‟s anatomy and goals must be carefully considered,
and applied to plan changes to the dimensions of the nose.
Traditionally, modifications are guided by the surgeon’s experience
and visual inspection. The advent of 3D virtual surgical planning
offers a significant advancement, providing detailed preoperative
assessments and precise planning, particularly beneficial in complex
cases such as congenital deviations, revisions, or post-traumatic
reconstructions. By creating detailed 3D models from patient imaging,
surgeons can plan the osteotomies and assess asymmetries and
deformities more accurately, moving beyond the limitations of manual
planning and basic 2D imaging.
In the present prospective study, we aimed to evaluate the
usefulness of computer-aided 3D measurements in rhinoplasty
planning, aiming to improve surgical outcomes and patient
satisfaction. we conclude that the integration of meticulous
preoperative 3D assessments and computer-aided planning
substantively contributes to refining surgical techniques and outcomes
in rhinoplasty. Objectively determined postoperative changes can be
interesting for the patient and the surgeon, can facilitate communication between them, can help in outcome assessment, and can provide a guide for future cases.
