Abstract

Several surgeons advise a variety of tip sutures and describe their own techniques in open approach. Septocolumellar suture is one of them and can be described as a loop suture between the medial crura and caudal septum. Although some of the articles mention that it can be applied in closed rhinoplasty, there is no description of the technical details. This paper presents indications, technical steps, and advantages of the septocolumellar suture in closed rhinoplasty.
