Alloplastic nasal and perialar augmentation. 1996

H S Byrd, and P C Hobar

Children's Medical Center of Dallas, Texas, USA.

Our favorable experience with use of porous hydroxyapatite granules to augment the craniofacial skeleton (more than 200 patients during an 8-year period) has led us to use this method to augment the nasal skeleton in selected cases. Extensive experience has been achieved in augmenting the perialar, maxilla, and glabellar area with very favorable results. A much more limited experience has been gained in augmenting the nasal dorsum, and this method must be considered investigatory at present.

D019736	Prostheses and Implants	Artificial substitutes for body parts, and materials inserted into tissue for functional, cosmetic, or therapeutic purposes. Prostheses can be functional, as in the case of artificial arms and legs, or cosmetic, as in the case of an artificial eye. Implants, all surgically inserted or grafted into the body, tend to be used therapeutically. IMPLANTS, EXPERIMENTAL is available for those used experimentally.
