Reconstructive rhinoplasty after trauma

If patients approach a nose correction after having had an accident, the procedure can be a lot more complicated. Depending on the nature of nasal trauma, in case of multifragmented fractures the osteotomies (which is the correction of the position of the bones) may be less stable than in a primary rhinoplasty. Also, posttraumatic rhinoplastiy esfrequently involve work on the nasal septum as well because septal deviation frequently follows nasal trauma.

This results in a slightly higher risk of secondary dislocation of bones and possibly patients undergoing such a reconstruction may look at waering the nasal splint, which normally needs to be worn for 7 days, for about three days longer. Some  irregularities irregularities may be camouflaged without a full rhinoplasty operation, but with fillers. I prefer to first apply a permanent filler and secondarily a permanent one.
