Abstract The nose is one of the most important parts of the face aesthetically. As a central landmark of the face, nasal proportions and symmetry are directly linked to facial beauty. The aim of rhinoplasty is to create a nose aesthetically pleasing to the patient without compromising nasal function. Rhinoplasty necessitates a profound understanding of the nasal anatomy’s complexity and variability. Careful planning is critical for success in rhinoplasty. The patient‟s anatomy and goals must be carefully considered, and applied to plan changes to the dimensions of the nose. Traditionally, modifications are guided by the surgeon’s experience and visual inspection. The advent of 3D virtual surgical planning offers a significant advancement, providing detailed preoperative assessments and precise planning, particularly beneficial in complex cases such as congenital deviations, revisions, or post-traumatic reconstructions. By creating detailed 3D models from patient imaging, surgeons can plan the osteotomies and assess asymmetries and deformities more accurately, moving beyond the limitations of manual planning and basic 2D imaging. In the present prospective study, we aimed to evaluate the usefulness of computer-aided 3D measurements in rhinoplasty planning, aiming to improve surgical outcomes and patient satisfaction. we conclude that the integration of meticulous preoperative 3D assessments and computer-aided planning substantively contributes to refining surgical techniques and outcomes in rhinoplasty. Objectively determined postoperative changes can be interesting for the patient and the surgeon, can facilitate communication between them, can help in outcome assessment, and can provide a guide for future cases. |
