Abstract

The development of power instruments has led to great advances in rhinoplasty. It has helped to reduce operating time, minimize damage to the surrounding soft tissues, and allow precision bony modification compared with the use of manual rasps. Burrs help ensure precise results by (i) creating a smooth transition between the lateral nasal sidewall and the face, (ii) treating bony asymmetries, and (iii) producing homogeneous upper and middle thirds that softy translate into the upper lateral cartilages. The aim of this paper is to show applications of cylindrical burrs in rhinoplasty surgery to treat the dorsal upper and middle thirds as well as lateral sidewalls of the nose, regardless of whether the dorsal preservation or structure technique is used. This approach offers a safe, fast, and precise technique that can be used in conjunction with piezo osteotomy to obtain the optimal outcomes.
