Figure 6. Septal Reconstruction Algorithm. Major considerations when selecting techniques for septal reconstruction in rhinoplasty include presence of septal perforation, involvement of caudal and/or dorsal septum, severity of deformity, baseline satisfaction with tip appearance, and stability of tip support, which are summarized in this figure. ^*Nearly all septal perforation techniques described can be performed via endoscopic, endonasal, or open techniques but are grouped based on the approach with which they are most often employed.
