    Author: Gubisch W, Eichhorn-Sens J.
    Journal: Aesthetic Plast Surg; 2008 Sep; 32(5):772-8. PubMed ID: 18661172.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: This report aims to demonstrate the advantages of the sliding technique for reducing an overprojected tip. METHODS: In this study 271 patients (201 females, 70 males) were treated using this technique. It was used for isolated tip hypertrophy (N = 93) and combined deformities (N = 147). RESULTS: A medial sliding was performed in 109 patients, a lateral in 125 patients, and a combined lateral and medial sliding was used in 9 patients. Twenty patients needed additional skin resection at the columella. Follow-up of our first 80 patients showed an average reduction of around 11%. Only one patient of 80 in this study had to be revised. CONCLUSION: The sliding technique is safe and reliable as well as a logical and effective technique to deproject the nasal tip.
