Preventing Hump Recurrence in Dorsal Preservation Rhinoplasty: The Five Key Tenets.
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery 2024 May 8
Preservation rhinoplasty has re-emerged over the past decade and continues to gain traction in the rhinoplasty community. Dorsal preservation rhinoplasty (DPR), one of the tenets of preservation rhinoplasty, centers on preservation of the native osseocartilaginous joint of the dorsum, with changes instead achieved through modification of the underlying septal cartilage and surrounding bony nasal pyramid. However, one complication unique to DPR is the phenomenon of hump recurrence, where tensile forces or memory lead to a recurrent convexity of the dorsal hump. Hump recurrence is the most common complication after DPR and often requires revisionary surgery. Accordingly, strategies to reduce the incidence of hump recurrence are highly sought after. In this article, we describe the senior author's main tenets of preventing hump recurrence in DPR, focusing on 1. Appropriate patient selection; 2. Addressing anatomic blocking points; 3. Adding mechanical fixation of the cartilaginous vault with suture techniques depending on the level of septal manipulation; 4. Applying a graduated approach to DPR procedural selection; and 5. Ancillary measures to control the shape of the nasal dorsum. Implementation of each of these five tenets is critical for modern rhinoplasty surgeons to reduce the incidence of hump recurrence in their preservation rhinoplasty practices.
