Abstract
This modified conchal cartilage graft presents itself as an excellent reconstructive option, especially considering its low morbidity, availability and ability to retrieve an adequate amount of cartilage in the vast majority of patients. These modifications of the conchal cartilage are previously unreported, and provide the needed height and elasticity in saddle nose reconstruction without the need for additional grafting. It is important to stress that when positioned properly, a beneficial effect in peak nasal inspiratory flow may be observed, adding to its usefulness in repairing both function and aesthetics.
