Abstract

Many dilemmas in rhinoplasty tempt surgeons to use exogenous materials. We have long looked toward implants to decrease operative time, to achieve a more reliable result, or when there is a paucity of autologous material. More than ever, the innovative and highly lucrative field of nasal implantology is developing technologically advanced products. This article looks at some popular nasal implant choices with a look toward what might be on the horizon.

Keywords

nasal implants - alloplastic implants - rhinoplasty - cartilage tissue engineering
