Abstract:
Fifty patients who primarily desired cosmetic improvement underwent nasal airflow studies using posterior rhinomanometry before and after reduction rhinoplasty. There was no significant difference in nasal resistance before and after surgery. This study demonstrates that neither subjective nor objective nasal obstruction follows reduction rhinoplasty, despite the potential for a decreased cross-sectional area of the valve region.
