Abstract

Nose is very important in standards of beauty because of its central location on face, making any slightest alteration in its appearance vulnerable to appreciation as well as criticism. Osteotomy is one of main steps of rhinoplasty which brings appreciably drastic change in the appearance of the individual after appropriate correction. Many approaches and instruments have since been used for proper correction of width of nasal bridge. Sometimes wrong use of force can even result in comminuted fracture of nasal bones leading to undesired surgical outcome. We have designed a hammer (gavel) made of hylam or bakelite for its precision role and use in rhinoplasty.
