Purpose:
Reductive rhinoplasty is generally intended as a facial plastic procedure aiming for functional and aesthetic outcomes in patients affected by nasal dysmorphism and/or obstruction. However, when applied to different pathologies of the nasal pyramid it holds great potentialities, beyond the solo cosmetic and functional objectives.
Methods:
We retrospectively analyzed preoperative conditions, surgical charts, and postoperative results of patients who underwent reductive rhinoplasty for different nasal diseases at our Institution.
Results:
Principles and techniques of reductive rhinoplasty were described in the different possible applications to the treatment of nasal disease, from nasal septal perforation to benign and malignant diseases of the nose.
Conclusions:
Reductive rhinoplasty showed to play a crucial role in the curative purpose of different nasal diseases, representing a versatile tool in the expert hand of rhinoplasty surgeons who approach them.
