Description
Summary:Orthognathic surgery is gaining importance as an aesthetic procedure. The aim of this work is the first case report of a simultaneous rhinoplasty and orthognathic surgery, using a nasal spine implant. This is a retrospective study based on the CARE guideline. A nasal spine implant was virtually planned and printed in polyetheretherketone (PEEK) to correct a nasal deviation and enable a rhinoplasty in the same surgical time. Both the surgeon and the patient were very satisfied with the clinical result. Virtually planned and printed nasal spine implant is feasible. A helpful method to support rhinoplasty in orthognathic surgery to avoid deviations in the tip of the nose or asymmetries in the nostrils.
