In most reduction rhinoplasties, conservative rhinoplasty of the nasal roof and septum can be performed in the place of traditional rhinoplasty with resection of the hump. An anatomical and functional study of the nose justifies and explains this new surgical technique. However, impaction alone is not always sufficient, but, in some cases, must be combined with support or projection of the nose tip. In the rhinoseptoplasty proposed, the nasal roof phase is performed before the nostril roof phase. The advantages of this technique, particularly indicated in kyphosis, are related to the preservation of the natural appearance of the nose and its persistence over time.
