In this article, options for nasal implantation during rhinoplasty are discussed.
The range of implant options currently available to the nasal surgeon is considered
in detail. Various types of autografts, homografts, and alloplasts commonly used in
the nose are introduced and described. Indications for each nasal implant type are
considered, as are the advantages and limitations of each option.
