Abstract
Patients undergoing partial or total rhinectomy surgeries are left with a lifelong
facial defect that poses psychosocial and functional challenges. The extended postoperative
healing period after rhinectomy can delay the timely restoration of a patient’s nose
by definitive prosthesis when conventional impression methods are used. The treatment
workflow for fabricating a custom esthetic nasal bandage with the use of digital technology
is introduced to avoid the conventional preoperative impression, as well as to allow
for immediate delivery at the postoperative follow-up visit.
