Description

Complex revision rhinoplasty and cleft nose correction require advanced reconstructive strategies due to severe scarring, tissue loss, and functional compromise. This presentation focuses on the use of flap techniques combined with dermal and composite grafts to restore lining, support, and external contour. Surgical videos will demonstrate practical applications and pearls from challenging cases.

Outcome Objectives

Participants will learn to:

1. Identify indications for dermal and composite grafts in revision and cleft nose surgery.

2. Understand how local flaps can be combined with grafting for improved function and stability.

3. Apply these principles to achieve natural and long‑lasting results in complex nasal reconstructions.

Background

Traditional techniques are often insufficient in secondary and cleft rhinoplasty. Dermal and composite grafts, together with local flap rearrangements, provide reliable tools to correct asymmetry, improve airway function, and enhance aesthetics. This session will share practical experience to expand the surgeon’s armamentarium in the most demanding nasal cases.

Structural versus Preservation rhinoplasty will be discussed.
