The concept of rhinoplasty of the mature nose is presented. As an isolated procedure or in conjunction with other facial plastic procedures, shortening the length of a drooping nose can give the effect of a more youthful appearance. The anatomy and physiology of the nose as it ages is discussed and if understood by the surgeon, these patients need no longer be rejected because of their age. Technical consideration are important, and the use of the modified rim incision, high septal transfixion and lobule rotation is suggested. An analysis of 30 cases over a noe year period is documented to support this thesis.
