Abstract
Rhinoplasty is widely acknowledged to be a challenging operation. The success of the
operation has long been measured in anecdotal ways. As the surgeon—do I think the
outcome is good? Does the patient tell me they are happy? At hand is an obvious issue
with patients sometimes not returning to their original doctor. Other times they may
have minor concerns that take minimal effort to correct. Does that constitute a revision?
In most circles, the ultimate definition of revision rhinoplasty is a return to surgery
with the intent to correct a functional or aesthetic concern that arose after the
original procedure.
