Reduction rhinoplasty and rhinoseptoplasty are among the most accomplished aesthetic procedures in Plastic Surgery and Otorhinolaryngology. Nasal obstruction is one of the majors concerns in this procedures, because it affects quality of life and surgical outcomes. Nasal surgeons have paid much attention to nasal valve area to prevent nasal obstruction and some assert reconstruction of the middle vault after dorsal reduction with grafts. The gold standard for middle vault reconstruction after dorsal reduction has been the spreader graft, first advocated by Sheen. Studies in surgical techniques for the treatment of nasal valve collapse focus much more in techniques than in evidence of its efficacy.
