Summary
Choosing the right grafting material, including autografts, allografts, and alloplasts, is crucial for successful rhinoplasty outcomes. This review explores factors influencing graft selection in primary and revision nasal surgeries.
Area of Science:
- Plastic Surgery
- Otolaryngology
- Biomaterials Science
Background:
- Rhinoplasty necessitates diverse grafting materials for functional and aesthetic enhancement.
- Optimal graft selection is paramount for achieving desired patient outcomes in nasal surgery.
Approach:
