摘要

The objective of using SLEG for septal axis correction is to display the dorsum through a rebuilt septum. This method simultaneously represents the anteroposterior projection of the dorsum and the cephalocaudal length. A spreader graft not only aids in improving nasal obstruction but also serves as a visible graft, directly representing the cartilaginous dorsum. The process is not about flattening the base to insert alloplastic material. In low-profile noses, some surgeons may opt for camouflaging the external nose without correcting the septal deviation. Tailored unilateral or bilateral AESG with septal, conchal or costal cartilage improves stability and dorsal aesthetics. Bony corrections follow septal alignment, using conservative bone shaving and osteotomies.
