A graft is a term used to describe a material harvested from your own body, and transfered to another location.  The most frequently used grafts are cartilage grafts from inside your nose (septal grafts).  Septal cartilage grafts are typically the first-line option used nasal surgery.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes the amount of material needed is greater than the amount of grafting material available, in which implants may be an option.  Implants are synthetic materials designed to use in the nose.  There are several implants available for augmentation rhinoplasty.  Common implants used  include: polytetrafluoroethylene (Gore-Tex), Silicone, and porous polyethylene (MedPor).  Although no ideal implant exists, these implants can be safely used in nasal surgery.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about augmentation rhinoplasty we welcome to a consultation with Dr. Kwak. <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Augmentation rhinoplasty is a term used to described nasal surgery in which the shape of the nose is increased.
