New Technique May Improve Nose Shaping!

At the recent American Society of Plastic Surgeons meeting Dr.Erol from Turkey described using diced cartilage from nasal septum to fill in small defects. He designed a special syringe to faclitate the injection.
His presentation was welcomed very warmly and even Dr.Stuzin (the author of many books on techniques in Plastic Surgery) commented that this could become a golden standard for many patients, especially those suffering from overresection during surgery and asymmetry (common side effects of rhinoplasty).
Meanwhile my “golden standard” is still doing a trial run with hyaluronic acid which is extremely safe and is dissolvable, and then discussing options to replace it with permanent product.
I’m still not a fan of Artecoll as it’s bovine collagen and can cause allergic reaction, but I might be able to offer Silikon 1000 some day.
