Abstract
Reports on rhinoplastic sequelae are infrequent. Reported incidence rates vary from 5% to 12%. The authors have an overall rate of 8%, with 6.5% of cases involving slight sequelae and 1.5% moderate ones. Various techniques for correction are used, depending on the sequel. Silastic implants have been unsatisfactory over the long term, so generally autogenous implants are used.
