Feasibility of a polydioxanone plate as an adjuvant material in rhinoplasty in Asians.

CONCLUSIONS: PDS plates have been used in the United States and Europe for more than 10 years to provide a scaffold for the nasal framework. These plates can provide reinforcement to columellar struts, L-struts, and septal extension grafts. In addition, they can assist in deformity correction. Therefore, PDS plates can be considered a good adjuvant material for Asian patients with weak and small nasal cartilage. PMID: 30934180 [PubMed]
