Basic anatomy: clinical application in rhinoplasty.

In responding to the request to update an article from a previously published work, I selected the subject of anatomy and rhinoplasty. The information presented, along with videotapes on the same material, has been frequently sought and, I hope, has been helpful in guiding residents who are learning to do a given operation. An updated application of basic anatomy to the correction of excesses and deficiencies of the nose is presented. The authors hope this will help trainees obtain good functional and aesthetic results.
