Rhinoplasty: Is it difficult?

Thank you for your question. There is no answer to this as every rhinoplasty case has its own degree of complications and uniqueness.

What is the Hardest Part of the Nose to "Fix" when Doing a Rhinoplasty ?

The hardest part of the nose to fix is the part that someone else tried to fix.

There is no one single part of the nose that is more difficult to fix than another. Good rhinoplasty results require experience and good technique. By far the hardest thing to fix is a rhinoplasty with poor results. "Re-do" rhinoplasty surgery is by far the hardest.
