Abstract
• A dorsal nasal cyst is a rare complication of cosmetic rhinoplasty. The cause of this complication is unknown; however, entrapment of nasal mucosa and subsequent growth through osteotomy sites are thought to be the basis for formation of these masses. We describe two patients with these dorsal nasal cysts and provide a review of the English-language literature. The maintenance of mucosal integrity together with the meticulous removal of debris from the operative site may prevent postrhinoplasty nasal cysts.
