Objectives: Of all the face surgeries, rhinoplasty is known to be the most difficult. The aim of this paper is to review open-roof deformity. Methods: PubMed, EBSCO, UpToDate, Proquest Central at Kırıkkale University, and Google and Google Scholar were used in the literature review. The search was performed with the keywords “open roof deformity,” “rhinoplasty,” “fillers” between 2024 and 1980. Results: Rhinoplasty is a surgery that requires a combination of art and science, unlike other procedures that may have challenging anatomic access, requiring an excessive amount of physical strength, or a long operating period that causes surgeon fatigue. It is common for people undergoing primary rhinoplasty to have their hump removed, which can lead to open-roof deformity. Lateral osteotomies and the use of grafts are crucial in the prevention of open-roof abnormalities. It is common practice to perform lateral osteotomies to seal this space. However, lateral osteotomy becomes tricky when the patient’s bony vault is small. Another well-known option is to shape and replace the hump or to use a spreader graft, flap, sliced cartilage, or some combination of these. HA filler can also be administered to achieve the same effect as a spreader graft. Along the length of the dorsum on both sides, HA is injected retrogradely. Conclusion: If there are dorsal irregularities after surgery or if there is a need to fix the look of nasal bridge, this therapy can help.
