Abstract
A short nose is a common esthetic problem faced by facial plastic surgeons. Rhinoplasty of the short nose has been recognized as a complex procedure to perform for achieving satisfactory results. The authors presented 4 cases of short nose in 4 Saudi men who underwent rhinoplasty using septal extension graft and closure the skin with secondary intention as an option to control skin tension after graft placement and to increase nose skin volume to prevent skin retraction, which may occur postoperatively during the healing process. Furthermore, the authors have also discussed the surgical outcomes of these 4 cases and overall satisfaction. Finally, the authors reviewed the literature to identify published papers on correcting the short nose technique.
