title: Dacron implants in rhinoplasty: a review of 136 cases of tip and dorsum implants.
abstract: The achievement of successful results in rhinoplasty may require the use of autografts, homografts, or alloplastic materials. Among the alloplasts, Dacron is an easily handled and manipulated synthetic material, readily applicable to nasal augmentation. The following represents the indications, surgical technique, outcome results, and analysis of our experience with Dacron mesh implants to the nasal tip, dorsum, and lateral walls in 136 patients.
