This is a prospective observation cohort investigation. Patients, that is participants, undergoing primary functional rhinoplasty will be evaluated in terms of measuring capillary blood lactic acid concentration in the nasal skin-soft tissue envelope immediately after the procedure and 7 days after the procedure.
The aim of our study is to test whether or not different rhinoplasty approaches and volume of the used autologous cartilage grafts impact the nasal skin-soft tissue metabolism.
