Rhinoplasty is arguably one of the most challenging procedures a facial plastic surgeon
performs. Numerous techniques have been developed since the inception of rhinoplasty
to aid in correction of aesthetic and functional issues. Congenital, iatrogenic, and
traumatic etiologies can all lead to a crooked nose. Autologous rib or costal cartilage
grafting is a powerful tool that can aid the surgeon in successful correction of the
crooked nose.
