Plastic Surgeons Discuss Revision Rhinoplasty

Although the majority of rhinoplasty procedures are successful, some patients require a second operation to correct complications or unsatisfying results. The intricate nature of this procedure – known as revision rhinoplasty – was discussed this weekend during the Annual Meeting of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

A panel of several plastic surgeons held two discussions on the topic, covering aspects such as:

• Alternative treatment methods
• Treating nasal, nostril and alar base deformities
• Correcting a short or crooked nose
• Correction of suboptimal rhinoplasty results
• Using grafts or sutures to shape the nasal tip
