Question:
What kinds of grafts can be used in rhinoplasty?
Answer:
A book could be written on this question. Not only are there cartilage grafts that can be placed on the nose, onlay grafts, but there are all kinds of grafts that can be placed in the tip, spreader grafts, rim grafts, lateral crural grafts, etc. Additionally, some artificial materials can be used in rhinoplasty as well, although we limit the use of these to the most rare case as we prefer cartilage whenever possible.
