In this case, the nose, with its prominent position on the face, required careful analysis for repositioning in a Class III patient undergoing minimally invasive orthognathic surgery. The procedure included subspinal osteotomy for lateral nasal repositioning and correction of a leftward nasal tip deviation. Despite successful aesthetic improvements, a 2.2mm deviation in the nasal spine occurred due to the maxilla’s movement, placing the anterior nasal spine in a new position.
Recent developments in imaging technology have allowed for rapid processing and visualization of significant amounts of data yielded from a variety of digital imaging modalities. Prerequisites have been established for three-dimensional (3D) visualization as well as programs for the computer-assisted 3D planning of surgical procedures, and these image sources are now available to assist the surgeon in the operating room.
