Abstract
The dermocartilaginous ligament of the nose, as first described by the senior author, has been shown to influence the equilibrium of the dorsum-tip relationship. In some noses, this is manifested by a residual convexity after routine rhinoplastic management of the osteocartilaginous structures. The anatomic findings are reported, and surgical considerations are analyzed. A system of classification based on the thickness of the ligament has been shown to be helpful in the intraoperative evaluation of this structure.
