Seeks to change or modify the shape of the nose in patients who have traumatic sequelae, or those resulting from congenital or acquired diseases in life, which alter the shape and function of the nose (both internally and externally).
Many patients have undergone a first, and even a second or third rhinoplasty, with insufficient aesthetic or functional results that lead to dissatisfaction. This type of surgery, which typically uses auricular cartilage, costal cartilage, or both, aims to reconstruct support structures that are functionally and aesthetically crucial for the proper functioning of the nose. Recovery is slower than with a primary rhinoplasty.
