New nose job technique aims for better tip projection and rotation
NCT ID NCT07317947
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a specific surgical technique called lateral crural steal with columellar strut graft during primary open rhinoplasty. The goal is to see if it improves nasal tip projection and rotation over the long term. The study will enroll 22 people who are seeking rhinoplasty for cosmetic or functional reasons. Researchers will measure outcomes using standardized photographic analysis and patient satisfaction questionnaires.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Lateral crural steal with columellar strut graft (surgical procedure)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a reliable surgical method to improve nasal tip projection and rotation in rhinoplasty patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center study with only 22 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. As with any surgery, there are risks like infection, scarring, or unsatisfactory cosmetic outcome.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients seeking primary rhinoplasty for aesthetic and/or functional indications. * Presence of inadequate nasal tip projection and/or rotation suitable for correction using lateral crural steal with columellar strut graft. * Ability to provide written informed consent and comply with follow-up visits. Exclusion Criteria: * History of prior nasal surgery. * History of severe nasal trauma, altering cartilage architecture. * Significant functional nasal obstruction requiring complex external nasal valve reconstruction. * Patients with excessively wide alar base requiring alar base reduction involving vestibular sill excision (to prevent confounding on projection/rotation). * Patients with facial skeletal or developmental abnormalities e.g. maxillary hypoplasia, maxillary prognathism, dentofacial deformities. * Patients with psychiatric illness or Body Dysmorphic Disorder. * Significant medical comorbidities contraindicating elective surgery or general anesthesia. * Inability to provide informed consent or comply with follow-up.
