Abstract
Rhinoplasty is one of the most complex procedures in the cosmetic surgery field. Satisfactory long-term results rely on using grafts with enough strength for adequate support and low resorption rates. Grafts in septorhinoplasty can be obtained from autologous, homologous and alloplastic materials. Autologous rib cartilage is the graft material of choice for secondary rhinoplasty when enough septal cartilage is not available. In this review different types of grafts, techniques to avoid warping, complications and surgery techniques with emphasis on autologous rib cartilage are assessed.
Highlights
The incidence of primary rhinoplasties that require secondary revision goes among 5-12%
Reconstruction of the nasal osseocartilaginous framework is the foundation of a successful secondary rhinoplasty [1,2]
Revision rhinoplasty can be extremely challenging; the surgeon must accurately diagnose a problem in the nasal structure or function often dismissed by the previous surgeon
