Orr anatómia
Az orr csontos és porcos váza együtt meghatározza az orr tartását és formáját. Egyszerre biztosítja a nyitott légutakat és a rugalmasságát, ezzel védi a sérülésektől.
What's so important about the anatomy of the nose?
The anatomy of the nose is so important because it's the main reason why your nose looks the way that it does. Because of that, it's essential that the nose's anatomy be accurately assessed, whether for a first-time rhinoplasty or a revisionary procedure, in order to develop a realistic and rational surgical plan. Accurately assessing the nose takes skill and experience.
A simplified description of the nose's anatomy
Below is a simplified diagram of the nose's anatomy, including the surface anatomy and the structural (beneath the surface) anatomy. These are reprinted with permission from the textbook Rhinoplasty Dissection Manual by Dr. Daniel Becker and Dr. Dean Toriumi.
Surface Anatomy of the Nose
You might want to print out the images, so that you can refer to them if necessary while browsing the rest of the website.
Figures 1-4 show the nose from 4 viewpoints. Important surface landmarks are labelled.

The septum is the midline structure inside your nose that divides your nose into left and right. The septum is an important structure in septorhinoplasty. Its anatomy is shown here. |

Figures 9-10 are not as important for the web viewer, but they highlight the important fact that the skin over the nose has muscles and blood vessels. This may seem obvious, but it is important because if the surgeon does not fully recognize the importance of this fact, they may operate in the incorrect tissue planes, which can result in violation of the muscle and blood vessels and subsequent abnormal scarring. |
