Abstract
Correction of nasal valve collapse with a porous polyethylene implant provided good long-term symptomatic relief of nasal obstruction, but with significant incidence of infection, implant extrusion, and need for revision surgery. The use of this implant should be reserved for cases in which autogenous graft material is not available.
