Five Techniques That I Cannot Live without in Revision Rhinoplasty

ABSTRACT

Revision rhinoplasty is an art and a science. Consistent success requires well developed judgment, vision and accumulated knowledge, and experience. For this article the senior author was asked to select five surgical techniques; pearls from his revision practice that warrant highlighting. The authors discuss hump reduction under direct visualization, powered rasp, diagnostic nasal endoscopy and endoscopic septoplasty, computer imaging, and composite grafting.

KEYWORDS

Hump reduction under direct visualization - powered rasp - diagnostic nasal endoscopy - endoscopic septoplasty - computer imaging - composite grafting - revision rhinoplasty
