Reduction Rhinoplasty Re-Endorsed: When Conservative and Measured

SUMMARY: Reduction rhinoplasty has been widely criticised and dismissed due to the current preference for structural rhinoplasty. The criticism is related to airway compromise and secondary structural deformities, both early and late, due to overzealous resection. This two-year study attempted to pr...
