Secondary rhinoplasty presents complex challenges due to anatomical distortions, scar tissue, and multiple iatrogenic deformities.Although a traditional structural approach is the time-honored benchmark against which any other technique should be measured, preservation concepts can be integrated together with structural techniques.This study is based on a retrospective review of cases.

Power tools can presently be considered only relatively new, while Piezo has gained great popularity over the last years.
