ABSTRACT: Post-traumatic rhinoplasty is the surgical treatment of the complex functional and aesthetic sequelae of nasal trauma. Correcting a post-traumatic nose is a challenging task, requiring the surgeon to employ a range of techniques and grafts to adequately address the deformities observed. The results of our research show that restoring pre-traumatic form and function remains complex, although many guidelines have been established to refine and optimize the management of the after-effects of nasal trauma. But it is achievable with the right techniques. The objective of our review is to highlight the various post-traumatic nasal sequelae, describe the fundamental principles in the field of post-traumatic rhinoplasty and provide the surgeon with the various existing surgical techniques and strategies so that he or she can make an appropriate choice for the patient.
