With the adoption of open structure techniques, rhinoplasty has become more reliant on the use of structural grafts to resist change that occurs over time owing to both gravity and the aging process. As surgical procedures have become more technically complex, the type of grafts use for both primary and secondary rhinoplasty have undergone significant evolution. This article provides a case approach focused on the use of structural grafting in rhinoplasty.
