The function of the nasal muscles in rhinoplasty has not been investigated sufficiently. On this reason electromyographical and neuromyographical investigations were done in a group of rhinoplastics before and immediately after surgery but also at least 8 weeks later on. By performing a conservative technique the initial disturbance of the muscles immediately after surgery disappears in a high percentage and voluntarily movements of the nasal muscles can be observed. Different results are discussed.
