Abstract

Objectives: We aimed to present our experience in augmentation rhinoplasty, using autologous grafts.Methods: Between the years 2003-2007, whose registries were available, we evaluated 32 patients retrospectively.Results: Most of the operations were for traumatic reasons (62.5%, 20/32), and 37.5% (12/32) of them were revision surgeries. Satisfactory results in projection of nasal tip, dorsal augmentation, widening of the internal nasal valve and low scar retraction, were obtained. Minor complaints of the patients were recognized as palpation of graft through the skin, underprojection of tip in a couple of patients, thickness of the skin and insufficient nasal dorsal augmentation. Out of these exceptional results, most of the patients had satisfactory functional and aesthetic results.Conclusion: Autogenous cartilage or bone grafts or combination of the otografts in Augmentation Rhinoplasty, provides satisfactory aesthetic and functional results. Alloplastic materials should be combined, if sufficient otografts are not found.
