Rhinoplasty (Seattle) requires careful analysis during the preoperative stages. You need to know exactly what you want to correct and hence having the unaltered preoperative state is essential with rhinoplasty. If the perlane that you have in the nose and bridge makes a big difference it would be prudent to dissolve the perlane with hyaluronidase. This will allow you the ability to see the native anatomy better and hence your surgeon can come up with an accurate plan. If it does not make a big difference the preoperative analysis may not be that affected. If the perlane with in other larger areas of the face where the impact would be less, the need to remove the perlane would be less necessary.
