Revision rhinoplasty: review of deformities, aetiology and treatment strategies
Abstract
Rhinoplasty has always been one of the most challenging aspects of facial surgery as it requires a precise assessment of the deformity, a strong grasp of nasal support mechanisms plus soft tissue skin envelope and a realistic appraisal of the outcome expected acutely and over a long period of time. This fine balance is often achieved by retrospective analysis of post-rhinoplasty results in order to highlight repeated problems and improve upon them. This study reviews 110 patients in which a total of 407 deformities were found. These are divided into upper, middle and lower thirds with a subdivision of individual deformities within each group. There is also a comparison of the results obtained from similar studies over a period of four decades to those in our study, which reveals that the post-rhinoplasty deformities noted in these studies occur with a similar frequency to those in our paper.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
