Abstract
ObjectiveThe aim of our study is to reduce the complications of pain and chest wall deformity by modifying conventional costal cartilage graft harvesting. MethodIn this method while the superior part of the costal cartilage is removed completely, medial, lateral, and inferior parts are excised incompletely and used as a graft. Hence, continuity of the costal cartilage is maintained inferiorly. ResultsNineteen primary and 28 revision rhinoplasty patients were included in the study. There were no donor site complications in the early postoperative period or during one-year follow-up. ConclusionThe modified costal cartilage graft harvesting technique we described is a safe conservative surgical method.
