“…While severe complications are uncommon, a number of short-and long-term issues have the potential to cause patient disappointment, aesthetic dissatisfaction, and even functional issues (5) . Two categories of complications are identified from rhinoplasty: nonaesthetic (6) , which includes breathing disturbances reported by 70% of revision rhinoplasty patients, and aesthetic complications, which may necessitate revision rhinoplasty. In addition, injury to the soft tissues and skin can result in fibrosis, atrophy, numbness, and the development of cysts from subcutaneous granulomas or displaced mucosa.…”

Background:The most common kind of plastic surgery is called rhinoplasty, which essentially reshapes the nose to improve facial beauty or to restore function after a physical defect, such as a tumor, infection, burn, developmental abnormality, birth disorder, trauma, or self-choice.Objective:To assess the Knowledge and attitude of university students regarding Rhinoplasty.Methods: a descriptive cross-sectional study carried out at the University of Mosul in the Nineveh Governorate between January 1, 2024, and January 3, 2024. Chance A multi-stage sample was chosen for this investigation. 100 students make up the sample of students at Mosul University. They were split up into four colleges: science, medicine, engineering, and hospitality. A specific consent form was used to obtain the subject's consent to participate in the study. Results:The results of this study indicate that the majority of the sample, which consisted of 100 nursing students, was between the ages of 18 and 20 (65%). The male sample was larger than the female sample by 66%, and 79% of the sample lived in an urban area. Additionally, a high percentage of the sample-81%) was single. Conclusion:The study came to the conclusion that one of its shortcomings is that it only included nursing students from one university and a relatively small sample size, which limits how broadly the research's conclusions can be applied. A larger sample size, however, might yield better results in the future. The findings also show that nursing students in Mosul City, Iraq, have little awareness of the negative effects of older adults.

“…The complication rate after rhinoplasty is around 4% to 19%. 2 After septorhinoplasty, major complications have been reported in 8% to 15% of patients and these complications can be classified as hemorrhagic, infectious, traumatic, functional, and aesthetic complications. Although most of these complications are not potentially life-threatening, some of the less frequently seen complications such as rhinorrhea, pneumothorax, and subarachnoid hemorrhage can be fatal.…”

Septorhinoplasty is a surgical procedure frequently performed by surgeons dealing with facial aesthetic surgery and includes various risks. All surgical procedures have an increased risk of complications. Complication rate of nasal surgeries is approximately 4% to 19%. Although rhinoplasty is a nonsterile procedure, infections occur in less than 2% of all cases. This rate may decrease as the surgeon gains experience. Lacrimal ducts can be injured during nasal aesthetic surgery due to its anatomical structure. In addition to minor and temporary injuries, major injuries requiring surgical intervention may also occur. Most injuries to the lacrimal system remain asymptomatic. Postrhinoplasty dacryocystitis usually occurs secondary to soft-tissue edema that compresses the lacrimal system and typically resolves within 1 to 2 weeks. After reviewing the literature and examining possible traumatic mechanisms, we recommend that the infections in the lacrimal system should be treated with medical therapy before performing surgical interventions such as dacryocystorhinostomy and abscess drainage. Knowing the complications of surgical interventions before the study and administering some basic principles before and after surgery are highly essential. In this study, we present a relatively rare complication of septorhinoplasty known as acute postoperative dacryocystitis, which is mostly encountered in the early postoperative period.

To describe our experiences with nasal tip bossae, suggest a standard nomenclature, discuss causative factors, and provide a comprehensive, analytic approach to the prevention and correction of bossae.Background: Nasal tip bossae are knoblike protuberances of the alar cartilages that can arise after rhinoplasty. Early bossae are due to uncorrected or inadvertently created asymmetries, while late bossae are due to fibrosis and scar contracture acting on a weakened or unreconstituted cartilaginous framework. Numerous techniques may be used to prevent and treat bossae; however, we found no article in the existing literature that presents an in-depth, analytic description of management techniques.Methods: We analyzed the predisposing factors and techniques leading to bossa formation and studied principles of prevention and correction. All rhinoplasty cases that presented for revision from 1985 through 2000 were reviewed for bossae formation via internal computer search. Previous operative records for rhinoplasty cases were examined when available. Intraoperative notes and photgraphs of the revision surgery were examined.Results: Etiologies for bossae were consistently found, and successful treatment modalities were noted.Conclusions: Nasal tip bossae are most often due to dynamic forces acting on iatrogenic changes and/or weakness in the alar cartilages. By minimizing cartilage excision, reinforcing areas of weakness, avoiding asymmetry and irregularity, and maintaining alar integrity, formation of bossae may be prevented. The treatment of bossae must be individualized and can range from simple suture stabilization techniques to complex domal cartilage replacement grafts, depending on the observed defect.
