Predictive Evaluation of Septal Cartilage-bone Complex for Rhinoplasty Using Cone Beam Computed Tomography.

Background: Septal extension grafting (SEG) is commonly used for correcting Asian short noses. When septal cartilage is limited, septal bone can be included. This study evaluates the outcomes of SEG using a septal cartilage-septal bone complex (SCBC) and assesses preoperative cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for predicting septal bone suitability.

Harvesting the Entire Seventh Costal Cartilage for Secondary Rhinoplasty.

Unlabelled: As rhinoplasty is becoming increasingly common, the number of revision cases is also increasing. These cases require more cartilage, and costal cartilage is considered a good material. We introduce a method of harvesting the entire seventh costal cartilage.
