Calcium phosphate cement offers a safe and effective method for nasal reconstruction after trauma or implant removal. This biomaterial shows promising aesthetic results with no complications in augmentation rhinoplasty patients.

Area of Science:

Plastic Surgery
Biomaterials Science
Regenerative Medicine

Background:

Augmentation rhinoplasty aims to improve nasal aesthetics and function.
Nasal deformities can result from trauma or previous surgical interventions.
Biocompatible and osteoconductive materials are sought for nasal bone augmentation.

Observation:

Calcium phosphate cement (CPC) was utilized for augmentation rhinoplasty in three patients.
Indications included post-traumatic nasal bone deformity and revision rhinoplasty post-implant removal.
Follow-up ranged from 6 to 26 months.

Findings:

The CPC technique demonstrated satisfactory aesthetic outcomes.
No complications were reported during the follow-up period.

CPC, composed of specific calcium phosphate compounds, exhibited good biocompatibility and osteoconductivity.

Implications:

This technique presents a simple, safe, and effective option for augmentation rhinoplasty, particularly in Eastern populations.
Further long-term studies are necessary to confirm the sustained safety and reliability of CPC in nasal augmentation.
CPC holds potential as a viable alternative to traditional grafting or implant materials for nasal reconstruction.
