  • Title: Secondary rhinoplasty and the use of autogenous rib cartilage grafts.
    Author: Cochran CS, Gunter JP.
    Journal: Clin Plast Surg; 2010 Apr; 37(2):371-82. PubMed ID: 20206752.
    Abstract:
    Postoperative rhinoplasty deformities--such as displacement or distortion of anatomic structures, inadequate surgery resulting in under-resection of the nasal framework, or over-resection caused by overzealous surgery--require a secondary rhinoplasty. Success in secondary rhinoplasty, therefore, relies on an accurate clinical diagnosis and analysis of the nasal deformities, a thorough operative plan to address each abnormality, and a meticulous surgical technique. Septal cartilage is the grafting material of choice for rhinoplasty; however, auricular cartilage and rib cartilage are used in secondary rhinoplasty. This article discusses the steps involved in the external approach to secondary rhinoplasty.
