My first two rhinoplasty surgeries as main operator: Personal experience and considerations by a 2nd year plastic surgery resident

Abstract

In the present paper, my first two rhinoplasty cases performed as a second-year plastic surgery resident will be presented. The morpho-functional analysis of the patients’ noses, the operative procedures, and the results will be described, highlighting the technical and organizational difficulties encountered and the strengths/safety points. The goal is to help young colleagues like me become acquainted with this complex surgery, characterizing possible initial obstacles and areas for improvement.
