Abstract

The etiology and prevention of saddle nose is discussed. In the present series autologous iliac crest bone, autologous septal cartilage and bone, and homologous septal cartilage were used as grafting material. The advantages and disadvantages of each type of grafted tissue are discussed. The autologous and homologous septal bone & cartilage have been found quite satisfactory grafting material to correct the saddle deformity of the nose. The overall results are much better in the final shape of the nose if the nose is narrowed and tip refined simultaneously by augmentation rhinoplasty.
