Description
Summary:Objectives/Hypothesis To describe a novel technique for tip plasty and determine its efficacy using validated patient‐reported outcome measures and objective measures. Study Design Retrospective cohort study. Methods This study was carried out at a tertiary center. Patients undergoing tip plasty using the miniature lateral crural strut grafts (mini‐LCSG) in cosmetic/combined rhinoplasty between January 2016 and August 2019 with available outcome measures were included. We used the Standardized Cosmesis and Health Nasal Outcomes Survey (SCHNOS), Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) scores, visual analog scale: functional and cosmetic, and lateral wall insufficiency (LWI) grades. Results Among 52 patients, 33 were included; 26 had cosmetic whereas seven had combined functional and cosmetic rhinoplasty, with a follow‐up up to 3 years. Both cosmetic and combined subjects showed significant improvement in SCHNOS‐Cosmesis (C) scores (−57.31 ± 1.79, P
