Abstract
Lengthening the short nose is a challenging area of rhinoplasty. The short nose can be a naturally occurring aesthetic disproportion, or the result of a congenital abnormality or traumatic deformity. The surgical approach depends mostly on the quality of the lining, skeleton, overlying skin, and the amount of correction desired.
