Date: Jul-Aug 2014 Source: JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery, 16(4):261-7. Importance. In recent years, with the advent of 3-dimensional (3D) imaging techniques, it has become possible to objectively measure rhinoplasty results. However, few studies have used 3D imaging software to assess postoperative rhinoplasty results of the nasal tip. Objective. To analyze nasal tip volumes of patients…
