Porous hydroxyapatite granules effectively augment the craniofacial skeleton, including the perialar, maxilla, and glabellar regions. While promising for nasal augmentation, its use on the nasal dorsum remains investigatory.

Area of Science:

  • Craniofacial surgery
  • Biomaterials science

Background:

  • Porous hydroxyapatite granules have a successful track record in craniofacial skeletal augmentation.
  • Over 200 patients have been treated over an 8-year period.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the use of porous hydroxyapatite granules for nasal skeletal augmentation.
  • To extend the application of this biomaterial to the nasal region.

Main Methods:

  • Application of porous hydroxyapatite granules for augmentation.
  • Focus on perialar, maxilla, glabellar, and nasal dorsum areas.

Main Results:

  • Highly favorable outcomes in augmenting the perialar, maxilla, and glabellar areas.
  • Limited but positive initial experience with nasal dorsum augmentation.

Conclusions:

  • Porous hydroxyapatite granules are a reliable option for specific craniofacial augmentations.
  • Nasal dorsum augmentation with this material requires further investigation.
