Abstract: | Male revision rhinoplasty surgery is the most difficult and challenging procedure that facial plastic surgeons perform because males usually have thick nasal skin, which is more difficult to re-support and project the nasal tip, and often have high or unrealistic expectations. The primary etiology for the need for male revision rhinoplasty is a primary rhinoplasty with aggressive lower lateral cartilage reduction that causes tip ptosis and loss of projection. The goal to an aesthetically pleasing revision rhinoplasty is to re-create adequate tip projection and an intact strong tripod complex. Following tip reconstruction, the height and width of the dorsum should be set. For male revision nasal surgery, a clear and thorough knowledge of nasal anatomy, function, and surgical techniques is paramount. Having an extensive preoperative discussion including expectations, outcomes, and a detailed list of potential complications with the patient can prevent physician-patient mis-communication. Prior to surgery, review the examination, previous operative summary, photographs, nasal analysis sheet, problem list, and plan and then proceed with the surgical treatment. |
