Summary
Rhinoplasty, a common cosmetic surgery, can rarely lead to nasal skin necrosis. This article details two cases of this rare complication following the procedure.
Area of Science:
- Plastic Surgery
- Dermatology
- Otolaryngology
Background:
- Rhinoplasty is a frequent cosmetic surgical procedure globally and within the United States.
- Complication rates for rhinoplasty range from 8-15%, with most being non-life-threatening.
Observation:
- Skin necrosis of the nasal dorsum is a rare but serious complication following rhinoplasty.
- This article presents two distinct cases of nasal skin necrosis occurring post-rhinoplasty.
Findings:
- The study documents two instances of skin necrosis on the nasal dorsum after rhinoplasty procedures.
- Detailed case reports illustrate the presentation and potential outcomes of this rare complication.
Implications:
- Understanding and recognizing rare complications like skin necrosis is crucial for plastic surgeons.
- Awareness of such risks can aid in patient counseling and management strategies for rhinoplasty outcomes.

Necrosis is considered as an “accidental” or unexpected form of cell death that ends in cell lysis. The first noticeable mention of “necrosis” was in 1859 when Rudolf Virchow used this term to describe advanced tissue breakdown in his compilation titled “Cell Pathology”.

Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.

The skin is the largest organ of the human body and plays a crucial role in our sensory perception. It contains a vast network of sensory receptors that contribute to the skin's protective function by perceiving physical, biological, and environmental cues and generating relevant responses.
There are two main categories of receptors on the skin: capsulated and non-capsulated. The non-capsulated ones are mainly the pain receptors. The capsulated ones can be further categorized based on the...

Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.

01:23Role of Skin in Vitamin D Synthesis
7.8K
The skin plays a crucial role in the synthesis of vitamin D, a vital nutrient for various physiological processes in the body. Vitamin D is unique because it can be synthesized in the skin through a series of chemical reactions triggered by exposure to ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation from sunlight.
The solar UV B rays (290-315 nm) are absorbed by the skin, and 7-dehydrocholesterol (provitamin D3) photolyzes it to previtamin D3, which undergoes a rapid transformation to vitamin...

Nails are one of the important accessory structures of the skin. They are hard, protective structures that cover the dorsal surface of the distal phalanges of fingers and toes. Nails are composed of specialized keratinized cells and serve various functions, including protection, sensation, and manual dexterity.
The main components of a nail include the following.
Nail Plate: The nail plate is the visible portion of the nail that extends beyond the fingertips or toes. It is a hard, translucent...
