Abstract
In cases of concurrent hump nose and microgenia, the hump removed from the nose is used to build out the chin with gratifying esthetic result. The advantages of this operation are: 1. 1. Utilization of material available from large hump nose, thus doing away with an extra operation to obtain a transplant. 2. 2. The convex shape and flexibility of the hump is very well adapted to building out the chin, imitating, as it does, the normal contour. 3. 3. The healing tendency is good. 4. 4. Only slight shrinkage has been observed four years after operation. The method has been used in 21 cases, all without complication. In one of the fifteen, in which a deviated septum had to be resected, septum cartilage was used in addition to the osteocartilaginous hump to build out the chin.
