Total nasal reconstruction with alloplastic and autogenous grafts.
The basic principles of successful total nasal reconstruction include providing a sufficient amount of tissue coverage, creating an adequate structural framework, and fashioning a viable inner lining. Relative uniformity of opinion exists regarding sources for tissue coverage and nasal lining. A variety of options exists, however, regarding the type of material used for nasal framework. Alloplastic metals, such as vitallium or titanium mesh, combined with autogenous soft tissue coverage, are reliable alternatives for use in total nasal reconstruction.

Implants in rhinoplasty.
A variety of materials have been employed in rhinoplasty for augmentation and reconstruction. While autogenous tissue remains the mainstay of nasal implants and are the clear choice for structural and augmentation grafting of the nasal tip, limited availability and unpredictable resorption or remodeling have made homologous and synthetic implants important considerations for dorsal augmentation grafting. This section discusses categories of graft materials, their physical properties, harvesting and preparation technique, and advantages and disadvantages. An algorithm for nasal implants for specific indications in support and augmentation is presented.
