Core Tip

Core Tip: This case report presents noteworthy findings, as we introduce an innovative secondary rhinoplasty technique using a folded dermofat graft to address complications arising from silicone implant augmentation rhinoplasty. This procedure successfully maintained the nasal contour without complications after silicone implant augmentation rhinoplasty. This approach enhances patient satisfaction and provides a valuable solution to challenges associated with traditional methods, making it a promising option in managing complications following augmentation rhinoplasty.
