To describe histopathological features of rhinoplasty-related implanted cartilages, 83 cartilages surgically removed from 42 patients (2 men and 40 women) with a median age of 28.0 years (range, 21-47 years) following correction/revision rhinoplasty were examined. These cartilages included 16 autologous costal cartilages (ACCs), 14 irradiated homologous costal cartilages (IHCCs), 24 autologous nasal cartilages (ANCs), 2 irradiated homologous nasal cartilages (IHNCs), 14 autologous ear cartilages (ECs) and 13 combined cartilaginous grafts.
