Decreased Tip Projection and Tip Stiffness Due to A Calcified Septal Extension Graft.
Journal of Craniofacial Surgery 2024 January 23
A septal extension graft is frequently applied in esthetic rhinoplasty in Asia. Autologous cartilage is usually selected for the graft material, and nasal septal cartilage is the most commonly used in septal extension grafts. Although the complication rate is reported to be very low, the authors recently encountered a patient who complained of decreased nasal tip projection and stiffness of the nasal tip. The patient had previously undergone a rhinoplasty, including dorsal augmentation with silicone implant and septal extension graft with septal cartilage. Based on the images, the authors hypothesized that the septal extension graft was calcified, and the intraoperative findings confirmed severe calcification of the previously inserted septal cartilage graft. Herein, the authors report the case of a patient with decreased tip projection and stiffness due to calcification of a previous septal extension graft that used septal cartilage and share the lessons the authors learned from this case.
