[Experiences using open rhinoplasty].

In our opinion the procedure recommended by Goodman is very appropriate for modern rhinoplastic surgery. From our own experience of 34 cases we present 3 examples of an asymmetric nasal tip, a hanging columella and a wide saddle nose. The most obvious advantage of the external septorhinoplasty was the excellent exposure, especially of the nasal tip. We used nasal autografts only for the correction of the deformities.
