- Abstract
Introduction: There are several rhinoplasty techniques, and surgeries that reduce the nasal dorsum are among the most performed. Conservative surgeries of the nasal dorsum are described as procedures with fewer complications, including alteration of the middle third of the nose, irregularities of the dorsum and saddle nose. Among the most frequent complications we have: residual hump, insufficiency of the internal nasal valve, lateralization of the nasal pyramid and enlargement of the middle third of the nose. Objectives: To quantify and analyze he complications of conservative rhinoplasty. Methods: Cases undergoing conservative surgery of the nasal dorsum using the "Push-down" technique in the period from 2019 to 2021 were selected. Results: Thirty-six cases undergoing Push-down were selected, 83,3% of which were women. Of the total, 30.55% had complications. As complications, we had residual hump (22.22%) and laterorhinia (8.33%), so that no case of broad nasal dorsum or internal nasal valve insufficiency was observed. Most complications occurred in female cases (90.9%), and only 01 case of laterorhinia was evidenced in a male patient. Regarding the technique and region of cartilaginous excision, we have: low resection (29 cases, 80.55%), medium resection (6 cases, 16.66%) and high resection (1 case, 2.77%). Conclusion: Conservative surgery of the nasal dorsum has more natural results and more restricted complications compared to traditional techniques, like we have stated on this study.
