Mean age of the 38 patients was 25.53\(\pm\)4.08 years (range, 20 to 37
years), and there were 7 men (18.4%) and 31 women (81.6%).
The average nasal tip projection ratio was 0.85 ± 0.14 preoperatively
and 0.97 ± 0.15 postoperatively (p<0.001). The average
nasolabial angle was 90.79±9.33 preoperatively and 95.09±9.57
postoperatively (p<0.001), and these changes in nasal tip
projection ratio and nasolabial angle were significant. Mean
preoperative nasal tip location ratio was 1.89 ± 0.20, and mean
postoperative nasal tip location ratio was 1.79± 0.20
(p<0.001). Mean nasal length was 2.27±0.30cmpreoperatively and
2.39±0.32cmpostoperatively (p = 0.002), and these changes in
preoperative and postoperative nasal tip projection and nasal tip
location ratios were also significant. Moreover, mean preoperative and
postoperative nasal tip locations were also significantly different,
which means nasal tips did not rotate cephalad after surgery. No
revision surgery was required and no direct complication associated with
the columellar strut graft occurred. Detailed results are provided in
Tables 1 and 2.
