GRAFT INCLUDING OSSEOUS TISSUE AND CARTILAGE TISSUE FOR AUGMENTATION RHINOPLASTY, AND METHOD OF PERFORMING AUGMENTATION RHINOPLASTY USING THE GRAFT

摘要

A graft for augmentation rhinoplasty, the graft including bone tissue and cartilage tissue, and a method of performing augmentation rhinoplasty by using the graft are disclosed. According to the disclosure, autologous tissue for augmentation rhinoplasty can be obtained in a sufficient amount to so that a nose can be uplifted to a desired height. In addition, rhinoplasy can be easily performed, resulting in a naturally-shaped nose. As the osseous tissue is grafted on the originally existing osseous tissue and cartilage tissue is grafted on the originally existing cartilage, the construction of the original anatomical structure of the nose can be allowed and there is an effect that there is no side effect such as a foreign body reaction.

主权项

1. A method of performing augmentation rhinoplasty, the method comprising:
providing at least one first graft by isolating at least one part of a nasal septum from the nose of a subject, wherein the at least one first graft comprises both a first compartment consisting of osseous tissue and a second compartment consisting of cartilage tissue; manufacturing a second graft for forming a line of nasal dorsum of the subject by excising a part of the at least one first graft, wherein the second graft comprises both a first compartment consisting of osseous tissue and a second compartment consisting of cartilage tissue; preparing at least two pieces of the first graft by cutting another part of the at least one first graft, which remains after the manufacturing of the second graft, into at least two pieces; forming two lines of nasal dorsum by inserting the second graft into a nasal dorsum of the subject; and raising the nasal dorsum in a dorsal direction by inserting the at least two pieces of the first graft into a space positioned in a ventral direction with respect to the second graft that is inserted into the nasal dorsum of the subject.
