Aesthetic and functional rhinoplasty

Hosp Med. 2005 Apr;66(4):221-6. doi: 10.12968/hmed.2005.66.4.18439.

Abstract

The authors stress that conservative correction should be the main goal in aesthetic and functional rhinoplasty. The surgeon controls the operative event and must be skilled at manipulating and controlling the dynamics of postoperative healing to achieve long-term functional and aesthetic results.
