Augmentation Rhinoplasty Using Iliac Crest Graft in Saddle Nose Deformity

Abstract

Autologous bone graft is one of the management solutions for saddle nose deformity. This helps from both functional and esthetic perspective. Several features of autologous graft specify the best material used to repair bony and cartilaginous nasal defects. This article describes a case of a female who presented with saddle nose deformity after incidental insertion of a button battery in her nostril during childhood which was followed by depressed nasal dorsum. It was managed with good outcomes by augmentation rhinoplasty using an iliac crest bone graft.
