Rhinology plays a crucial role in cosmetic rhinoplasty, with a deeper understanding being beneficial for surgeons without formal training in otolaryngology. It is important to address nasal function issues either preemptively during surgery or through revision procedures as cosmetic rhinoplasties may sometimes have negative impacts. Many rhinoplasty patients today are looking for comprehensive care that can manage both aesthetic and functional concerns in a single operation.
Rhinology is the branch of medicine that deals with nasal function as part of the respiratory apparatus. It is a fundamental component of otolaryngology curricula and thus generously found in that specialty's literature. Ear, nose, and throat specialists who have made aesthetic rhinoplasty a cornerstone of their practice have understood the importance of rhinology for years. We propose that deeper knowledge and understanding of rhinology would be incredibly useful for the cosmetic rhinoplasty surgeon, especially the one who has no formal training in otolaryngology. This is of critical importance because sometimes, cosmetic rhinoplasties may have negative repercussions on nasal function, a problem that must be dealt with either preemptively at the time of surgery or at a revision procedure. Moreover, many of today's rhinoplasty patients are seeking comprehensive surgical care by a specialist who can manage both aesthetic and functional concerns in a single operation.
