Abstract
As any swelling over dorsum nose is cosmetically unacceptable so is the post-operative scar. The external rhinoplasty approach proceeds in the natural tissue dissection planes in the nose, thus ensuring minimal bleeding, improved exposure and good healing with minimal scar formation. We present cases of three different swellings due to rhinophyma, dermoid cyst and a rare interesting foreign body all dealt with external rhinoplasty approach with good results.
