Reconstructing the nose poses considerable challenges, even for the most skilled surgeons. Significant nasal reconstructions often require later revisions to address persistent issues in both form and function, and it is crucial to discuss this possibility with the patient before embarking on the reconstructive process. Minor revisions can often be managed by making direct incisions between nasal subunits, coupled with soft tissue sculpting or the use of structural grafts for augmentation. When minor adjustments prove insufficient, the initial reconstruction may need to be entirely revised with a second forehead flap., Competing Interests: Disclosure The authors have no financial disclosures., (Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc.

Throughout the evolution of functional rhinoplasty, numerous techniques have been described and shown to be successful. Controversy exists regarding which techniques are most effective to address various deformities. The goal of this article is to review the available literature to examine the question, which surgical techniques within functional rhinoplasty are most successful in treating nasal airway obstruction. Based on the available data, it is not currently possible to draw conclusions about the superiority of a single graft or technique in functional rhinoplasty., (© 2023 The American Laryngological, Rhinological and Otological Society, Inc.)

Purpose of Review: Nonsurgical rhinoplasty (NSR) continues to grow in demand and popularity. Consequently, there has been a rise in the number of reported complications. This review will summarize and discuss the current evidence for the prevention and management of adverse events related to NSR with a specific emphasis on practical clinical applications. The review is based on recent systematic reviews and multidisciplinary expert consensus recommendations., Recent Findings: First, NSR has overall favorable outcomes with rare complications. Second, vascular compromise is a rare event, but the number of reported severe complications is rising. Third, providers should be intimately familiar with preventive measures, early signs and symptoms, and appropriate management algorithms of all possible complications. Fourth, having a readily available 'toolbox' of recommended therapies may improve timely management of emergent complications., Summary: The number of complications associated with NSR is expected to rise congruent with the increased demand for the procedure. Although NSR has a favorable safety profile, complications can occur in the best of hands even when using appropriate risk reduction strategies. Early detection and appropriate treatment of known complications may eliminate or minimize sequelae and allow providers to continue to safely perform NSR., (Copyright © 2022 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
