Abstract：Objective To explore the methods,efficacy and relative merits of the application of joint part ethmoid bone vertical plate in cosmetic rhinoplasty.Methods Thirty-five patients with nasal cosmetic defects engaged in this study underwent an external approach rhinoplasty.A fraction of the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid was cut off for the purpose of a tip strut reconstruction combined with septal and conchal cartilage,and the nasal dorsum was shaped by a prosthesis.Follow-up lasted three to nine months to observe if complications occurred.The cosmetic effects were also evaluated postoperatively.Results After a follow-up of three to nine months,an evident loss of nasal tip projection but no other complications were observed in two of the thirty-five patients.Thirty-two patients expressed their satisfaction with the surgery but three did not.Two complained of an insufficient height of nasal dorsum,and one had prosthesis deflection in the nasal dorsum.All patients were satisfied with the shape of the nasal tip.Conclusion Combining part of the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone can provide more available material in cosmetic rhinoplasty.It can be applied in a safe and effective way,with a suitable cosmetic effect and high degree of patient satisfaction.
