Introduction: Complex reconstructive septorhinoplasty requires harvesting a large amount of tissue for grafting. Autogenous costochondral and auricular cartilage has generally considered the gold standard grafting material, if insufficient septal cartilage remains. The aim of this paper was to describe our technique and report our experience with the use of costal cartilage grafts in cases with significant nasal deformities with insufficient septal cartilage.Design: Retrospective review of patients who underwent septorhinoplasty with costochondral grafts between 1995 and 2015.
