Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Facial Plastic Surgery

Background:

  • Augmentation rhinoplasty utilizes various materials including bone, septal cartilage, ear cartilage, and prostheses.
  • Ear cartilage has been employed for nasal dorsum augmentation, with limited comparative data available.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the authors' experience with ear cartilage for nasal dorsum augmentation in aesthetic rhinoplasty.
  • To compare the outcomes of ear cartilage augmentation with other materials used in rhinoplasty.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective review of 1263 aesthetic rhinoplasties performed between January 1975 and December 1988.
  • Focus on augmentation of the nasal dorsum using ear cartilage, with comparison to other materials.
  • Analysis of patient demographics, previous surgical history, and primary complaints.

Main Results:

  • The study included 1263 patients (average age 24, 95% female) undergoing ear cartilage augmentation.
  • In secondary rhinoplasty patients (40%), common complaints included oversized/malpositioned prostheses (74%) and psychological dissatisfaction (20%).
  • Primary rhinoplasty patients (60%) predominantly complained of a too-short or too-flat nose (100%).

Conclusions:

  • Ear cartilage serves as a suitable autologous material for nasal dorsum augmentation in aesthetic rhinoplasty.
  • The technique addresses common aesthetic concerns in both primary and secondary rhinoplasty cases.
  • Further studies with longer follow-up periods are warranted to fully assess long-term outcomes.
