Rhinoplasty Refinements: Revision Rhinoplasty Using Fresh Frozen Costal Cartilage Allograft

Summary: A crooked nose is challenging for a surgeon and needs to be treated using a systematic approach. Correction of nasal deformities such as a retracted columella in a revision rhinoplasty may need additional cartilage to correct the framework. Fresh frozen cartilage graft has been used as an extended spreader graft and a columellar strut graft to correct this problem. This option prevents donor-site morbidity associated with harvesting autologous cartilage.
