Nasal base surgery is a pivotal and intricate component of rhinoplasty, seeking to establish seamless integration and equilibrium among the nasal base, the broader nasal structure, and the overall facial esthetics. Concurrently, it prioritizes the optimization or enhancement of nasal airflow. Within this chapter, a detailed guide is provided for surgeons aspiring to attain proficiency in an array of techniques dedicated to rectifying nasal base irregularities and elevating both the esthetic and functional aspects of the nasal region. The encompassed topics include pretreatment considerations, preparatory steps for the patient, surgical methodologies, postoperative care protocols, prevalent complications, illustrative case presentations, and a forward-looking perspective on potential advancements. Additionally, ethical principles and conscientious practices are underscored. Moreover, this chapter discusses the transformative potential of cutting-edge technologies like 3D modeling and printing, poised to revolutionize nasal base surgery by establishing new benchmarks in precision and patient-centered care.
