Abstract
Augmentation rhinoplasty using silicone prostheses is a procedure that has gained wide acceptance, particularly in Asia, but has been met with resistance among Western surgeons. Much of the reluctance to employ this method is related to misconceptions regarding planning and executation of the operation. The basic principles of nasal augmentation stressing operative philosophy as well as technical principles that contribute to safe and esthetically pleasing results are presented.
