Method: In this method while the superior part of the costal cartilage is removed completely, medial, lateral, and inferior parts are excised incompletely and used as a graft. Hence, continuity of the costal cartilage is maintained inferiorly. Results: Nineteen primary and 28 revision rhinoplasty patients were included in the study. There were no donor site complications in the early postoperative period or during one-year follow-up. Conclusion: The modified costal cartilage graft harvesting technique we described is a safe conservative surgical method.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCostal CartilageRhinoplastyArticle45610.1016/j.amjoto.2024.104468Q20012886828000012-s2.0-8520013768139098129Q2
