CONCLUSION
The use of autogenous grafting material, especially the rib cartilage, is frequently needed when dealing
with revision rhinoplasty cases associated with alloplast complications. Wise use of costal cartilage in
revision rhinoplasty involves mastering intricacies that can decrease complications and improve results.
Safe harvesting minimizing the complications, appropriate designing and carving to maximize the results
and avoid warping, and appropriate postoperative care are all important. The rhinoplasty surgeon should
be familiar with the common scenarios in which the rib cartilage is necessary as well as with the various
technical aspects necessary to reduce complications.
