In the systematic approach to rhinoplasty, the author routinely uses an intercartilaginous columellar incision for dissection and reconstruction of the nasal tip, especially to facilitate separation of the tip cartilages from other tissues in the lower third of the nose. This technique has been used by the author for more than ten years and its advantages are demonstrated.
The authors present telethermography as a complementary preoperative test. The procedure helps us choose the technique to be used, eliminating cases in which cutaneous glandular dissection is not advisable because of anomalous irrigation (deficient internal mammary artery). It also offers us a guide to the safe level of dissection and extirpation of the inferior internal sector of the breast, depending on the point of exit of the internal mammary vascular pedicles. Finally, it tells us which breast must be reconstructed first (the one with the least vascularization in its internal hemiglandula). Postoperative comparative telethermography may also be used to detect any pathological process that appears later.
