Abstract
Complications in nasal soft tissue reconstruction are inevitable, and all reconstructive surgeons should be comfortable with their management. Patient and surgical complications can be minimized with appropriate preoperative planning and coordination with the anesthesiologist. When managing undesirable results, it is important to realize that most results will improve over time with appropriate wound care and dermabrasion. Patience and attentiveness to the patient are the most-effective strategies for dealing with poor results.
