Abstract:
Defects of the nasal tip, the alar, and the columella were treated with composite grafts from the postauricular area. The graft was folded into a three-dimensional shape, which provided a three-layered reconstruction of skin, cartilage and nasal lining. This procedure preserved the shape of the reconstruction for a longer time and yielded a good aesthetic result. Moreover, although this method was simple and was carried out in one stage, it left minimal morbidity of the donor site, and produced satisfying results.

Classifying Matter by Composition
According to its composition, the matter can be classified into two broad categories — pure substances and mixtures.
A pure substance is a form of matter that has a constant composition throughout with uniform properties. For example, any sample of sucrose has the same composition and same physical properties, such as melting point, color, and sweetness, regardless of the source from which it is isolated.
A mixture is composed of two or...
