Current Clinical Practices of the Rhinoplasty Society Members

“…However, with that in mind, current literature has revision rates quoted as often times below 5%, but commonly in a 5% to 10% range as well. 16,17 The numbers from this study seem to be similar with the literature at large.…”

Packing and Postoperative Rhinoplasty Management: A Survey Report

“…This is interesting in comparison with similar studies abroad, which also suggested that experienced rhinologists are significantly less likely to practice packing. 2,3 Although rhinoplasties are clearly common among the surgeons we polled, the total number of operations performed seems to be lower than those in similar surveys. Only 16 surgeons in our poll reported performing more than 40 rhinoplasties per year.…”

Presenting Concerns and Surgical Management of Secondary Rhinoplasty
