Abstract

A challenging surgical problem is the correction of supra-tip depression of the nose following collapse of nasal septal support. Numerous materials have been used in augmentation rhinoplasties attempting to correct this deformity, all having certain disadvantages. A modified technique is described in which costal cartilage surrounded by perichondrium is grafted in such noses; the results of a small series is discussed. The problems of graft distortion and resorbtion appear to have been satisfactorily overcome by using this procedure.
