The classification of complications after augmentation rhinoplasty

The authors classify the complications resulting from augmentation rhinoplasty into 6 typ3s according to the nasal areas involved, then guide the reader to the corresponding technique of management for each type. Their classification is based on the data of 113 patients whom they treated with a secondary rhinoplasty in their clinic during the past 10 years. In the case of augmented noses, it is especially noted that removal of the implant must precede any further treatment in a secondary rhinoplasty.Presented at the 6th Congress of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, Tokyo, September 28, 1981
