Postrhinoplasty fibrotic syndrome.

CONCLUSIONS: The nasal scenario described is referred to as postrhinoplasty fibrotic syndrome. It is recommended that if revision surgery is necessary by a surgeon, the scale of the surgery should be smaller than that of the primary operation. If yet another revision is necessary that surgery should be of an even smaller scale than the prior surgery. Augmentation rather than reduction rhinoplasty is clearly a better approach. With the surgical philosophy of smaller and/or less surgery with each revision (should it be necessary) the irreversible condition of postrhinoplasty fibrotic syndrome should be avoidable.
