Why is SMASectomy not commonly done during rhinoplasty?

April 11, 2024
Asked By:FurElise in Atlanta, Georgia

For medium to thick skin types, SMASectomy seems to improve nasal tip definition. From the few research papers I have seen using this technique, the results seems to be better than if it were not done. Are there any surgeons who routinely do this? Who are they? Thanks.
