How is revision rhinoplasty performed?
For revision rhinoplasty, incisions may be made on the inside of the nose (endonasal or closed rhinoplasty) or on both the inside of the nose and on the outside of the nose on the skin separating the nostrils (external or open rhinoplasty). The desired shape is then achieved by repositioning cartilage or replacing missing structures, and the incisions are then closed. A splint is applied to the nose after surgery.
