Immediate Reconstruction With Autologous Temporoparietal Fascia After Enucleation of Infected or Extruded Alloplastic...

Simultaneous reconstruction after removal of nasal silicone implants was published as diced, autologous rib and ear auricular cartilages, and each had their shortcomings. Temporoparietal fascial grafts were used for facial and nasal contouring, vascularized tissue coverage, and augmentation the nose, lip. The temporoparietal fascia graft may be considered for in-time replacement of allografts and remaining bulkiness. From 2006 until 2008, the temporoparietal fascial graft was used in 20 referred patients with nasal allografts in a medical center. The female-to-male ratio is 17:3. The mean age is around 32.6 years old. All the patients refused disfigurement after the removal of the implants for at least 3 months. All the patients were followed up for 5 years. All patients recovered within 1 to 2 weeks. The nasal skin envelop was preserved or healed. There was neither graft exposure, nor recurred infection. The procedure is a useful method of eliminating inflammatory squeals. The temporoparietal fascial graft used, was able to bridge the 3-month gap without the implant. The smooth nasal dorsum skin was regained with adequate nasal projection. All patients were followed up in plastic surgery clinics without recurrence. There are no reports in the English literature of the use of temporoparietal fascial grafts to treat nasal implant infection. The temporoparietal fascial graft is a simple and reliable method to provide thin, broad, pliable, easy neovascularized, adequate coverage, contour, and bulk on the cartilage dorsum of the nose, an inconspicuous donor site, consistency, and minimal resorption.
