Severe nasal vestibular stenosis is an increasingly recognized iatrogenic complication of cosmetic rhinoplasty. Multiply-revised cases are particularly difficult to manage because previous procedures may compromise the vestibular microcirculation, whereas prolonged stenting alone risks ischemic restenosis. We describe an individualized, staged multimodal salvage approach and illustrate it in a single patient....

No actionable change for audiologists or hearing specialists — this article concerns nasal surgery complications and has no relevance to audiology practice.
This case report is outside the scope of audiology and hearing science and is likely included in this dataset in error; it has no meaningful relevance to the field.
- 01Reports a case of severe nasal vestibular stenosis (narrowing of the nasal opening) following rhinoplasty (nose reshaping surgery).
- 02A multimodal (multi-step combined) surgical salvage protocol was used to treat the complication.
- 03Published in Aesthetic Surgery Journal Open Forum — a plastic and reconstructive surgery journal.
- 04No audiology, hearing, or vestibular relevance.
- 05Single case report; no generalizable conclusions possible.
A multimodal salvage protocol can effectively treat severe post-rhinoplasty nasal vestibular stenosis.
