The procedure is typically performed by a qualified plastic surgeon or a maxillofacial surgeon under local or general anesthesia, depending on the patient's preference and the complexity of the case. During the surgery, the surgeon makes small incisions inside the

I would like to point out here that most patients with empty nose syndrome have a limited amou
