The rhinoplasty patient returns home after surgery, to rest, and allow the nasal cartilage and bone tissues to heal the effects of having been forcefully cut.

A second repair can sometimes be required; causes are recurrence of cancer, new cancer or new trauma. A second flap can be harvested from the contralateral forehead after a prior vertical flap. [1] If an oblique or angled flap was used during the first surgery, the second repair becomes more difficult.

Deformation usually begins just after birth for the next couple of years until the desired shape has been reached or the child rejects the apparatus. [ 22 ] [ page needed ] [ 3 ] [ 37 ] There is no broadly established classification system for cranial deformations, and many scientists have developed their own classification systems without ...
