Abstract

The abundance, biocompatibility, and versatility of autologous costal cartilage allow rhinoplasty surgeons to perform an array of maneuvers needed to successfully manage cases that require an ample source of grafting materials. Hence, there has been a steady increase in the use of costal cartilage in Asian rhinoplasty. Despite its many advantages, autologous costal cartilage rhinoplasty is also associated with complications, which include warping, infection, and displacement, as well as donor-site morbidity issues such as pneumothorax, pain, and chest scars. Many of these can be minimized by adhering to the recommended techniques. In this review, operative techniques that focus on the prevention and management of complications associated with the use of autologous costal cartilage are presented.
