The treatment of nasal valve compromise (NVC) remains one of the most challenging aspects of rhinoplasty, and begins with accurate diagnosis. The authors’ previously-published treatments, including well-known surgical innovations such as the Butterfly graft and PDS plating, have contributed to the various options for correction of NVC in rhinoplasty. This presentation will be targeted to the general otolaryngology audience, intended to help identify patients in whom septoplasty and turbinate reduction would be insufficient to treat their nasal airway obstruction (NAO). The superior/inferior corridor concept of the nasal airway will be reviewed, along with a description of the various options for treatment and where they fit in the NAO treatment paradigm.
