Nasal augmentation in the problem nose.
The author emphasizes that nasal implants made of pierced silicone material, or conchal cartilage, are extremely satisfactory in selected cases. Their use should be restricted to dorsal implants, and the type of implant individually adapted to each case. The implant used should be made of solid silicone with numerous large holes piercing its form to create a natural fixation. In addition, the author stresses that cartilage grafts are very satisfactory, especially for small depressions or tip augmentation.
