title: Grafting in cosmetic rhinoplasty.
abstract: As rhinoplasty techniques continue to evolve toward structural support and away from purely reductive techniques, the need for sophisticated grafting options will escalate to augment or replace critical support mechanisms of the nose. This will result in improved esthetic outcomes and functional results. We have found that well-planned and executed adjunctive grafting techniques can deliver lasting results with preservation of function and cosmesis. This article reviews the various graft materials and the techniques and indications for their use.
