ABSTRACT
Objective@#The purpose of this study is to explore the method and effect of autogenous costal cartilage combined with polytetrafluoroethylene in comprehensive rhinoplasty.@*Methods@#Among the 519 included cases, 441 cases underwent primary rhinoplasty, and 78 cases underwent revision after initial rhinoplasty. The 6th or 7th costal cartilage, with 4-5 cm in thickness, was taken to make a columella supporting graft, a nasal septum extension graft, a lateral foot support graft, and a nose tip shield graft. The nasal shape is corrected by the reconstruction of nasal tip supporting structure. Polytetrafluoroethylene was used as a nasal dorsal graft.@*Results@#After 3-24 months of follow-up, 510 patients received satisfactory nasal tip and nasal dorsum esthetics. One patient had a prosthesis removement one year after surgery. Eight cases showed a decrease in nasal tip excursion 2-6 months postoperatively, with reduced nasal tip prominence. However, satisfactory results obtained, after further correction 6 months later.@*Conclusions@#The combination of autogenous costal cartilage and polytetrafluoroethylene for rhinoplasty is an appropriate surgical procedure for Chinese.
