Revision rhinoplasty using autologous rib cartilage in Asians

Abstract

A considerable part of revision rhinoplasty in Asians is associated with problems arising from the use of alloplastic implants. Revising alloplast associated problems of the nose mostly requires the use pf autogenous grafting material to minimize complications and maximize favorable outcomes. Although remnant septal cartilage and/or conchal cartilage can be used, as the deformity becomes more severe, adequate revision requires more volume and strength of grafting materials. Autogenous rib cartilage may be the most practical choice in these circumstances. In this review, common causes of revision rhinoplasty in Asians are discussed together with operative techniques with emphasis on the use of autologous rib cartilage.
