Non-surgical Rhinoplasty After Nasal Skin Cancer Reconstruction: Enhancing Aesthetic Outcomes

Non-surgical Rhinoplasty After Nasal Skin Cancer Reconstruction: Enhancing Aesthetic Outcomes

Reconstruction of the nasal pyramid after skin cancer is a complex surgery, often involving multiple stages. For some patients, the final result may be considered insufficient, affecting their quality of life and leading to social isolation, in addition to requiring numerous surgeries. In this context, and with the expertise of our department in this field, patients may benefit from touch-ups using hyaluronic acid, which can improve the outcome without the need for major and costly surgery. This product has the advantages of being accessible, easy to use, and has demonstrated long-term safety in the literature.The aim of the study is to evaluate, in this context, the benefit of medical rhinoplasty as perceived by the patients, as well as to measure the objective volumetric gain using 3-D photography. It also seeks to encourage professionals in this type of surgery to assess the results and motivate them to train in these techniques.
