ABSTRACT
Objective:
To introduce a method of combining autologous rib graft and a silicone plate as a composite graft for augmentation rhinoplasty.Methods:
Twenty-two female patients were included in this series. Eleven cases had unsatisfactory nasal appearance Nine cases were admitted for postoperative graft warping, and refused to harvest a second costal cartilage, thirteen cases had limited amount of rib graft for harvest. When cartilage was insufficient for a full dorsal onlay graft, a L-shaped silicone nasal implant would be used and carved into a plate-like, so as to make into a composite graft with the cartilage on top of the silicone plate.Results:
Up to 12-month follow-up was conducted, averaged 6.2 months. One case exhibited temporary ischemic signs at the incisions, resolved by compressive taping at day 5.For all other 21 cases aesthetic outcomes were satisfactory with no graft infection, extrusion or other complications. The dorsal only graft did not significantly transilluminate.Conclusions:
Rib-silicone composite dorsal graft is an applicable and safe method in augmentation rhinoplasty surgeries, particularly when there is limited amount of cartilage available.
