| Abstract | Background: The authors present a retrospective, comparative, and analytical cohort study, that aimed to prove the utility of unilateral or asymmetrical bony wedge resection to straighten the twisted nose as applied in let-down and push-down methods. The study involved objective angle measurements preoperatively and postoperatively on frontal view photographs. Methods: Preoperative and postoperative angle measurements were made on frontal view photographs of 78 patients with twisted noses classified as type C and type I. Angles of deviation were obtained using Scion Image software, measured in degrees. Statistical analysis was performed using Excel v15.13.3. Results: Forty-two patients had twisted nose type C and 28 patients had twisted nose type I. The mean age was 19 years. There was an 81% improvement ratio for twisted nose type C and 79% for twisted nose type I, and the angle correction for each type of nasal deformity was statistically significant ( P < 0.01). The majority of postoperative results were classified as excellent to good, with the exception of four cases with bad outcomes, including two patients with type C and two with type I deviations. Conclusions: Unilateral or asymmetrical bony wedge resection is a modification of the let-down rhinoplasty technique. This study demonstrates statistically significant improvements in straightening twisted noses among patients with or without preoperative hump and preserving the nasal dorsum. The authors found this modification better suited for type C deviations. Clinical question/level of evidence: Therapeutic, IV. |
