- Abstract
- Rhinoplasty via a closed approach is rarely performed due to provide limited exposure and inadequate operative field. Nevertheless, there are some cases in which closed approach is performed using L-shaped silicone implants. The authors recently encountered an interesting complication in a 33-year-old woman who had previously undergone rhinoplasty via a closed approach and who sought revision rhinoplasty at our institution. The authors accidently found a fractured silicone implant on lateral nasal x-ray. She had no nasal trauma history since previous rhinoplasty. The authors assumed that the silicone implant can be fractured as 1 of complications during the rhinoplasty via a closed approach.
