Is It Possible to Have Augmentation in Rhinoplasty?

Although your preoperative photos are not available, your nose actually looks fairly... more

Revision Rhinoplasty Augmentation
Hi, Dorsal augmentation rhinoplasty can be performed in a revision or primary rhinoplasty. Some of the materials used include septal and ear cartilage, gortex grafts and silicone grafts. Rib cartilage can also be used but are not my preference. Rib cartilage can warp and tends to be irregular and hard. In order to create a smooth, natural augmentation of the dorsum with only several millimeters in height, gortex or silicone is the best choice in my hands.
