Use of Vicryl Mesh in Prevention of Postrhinoplasty Dorsal Irregularities
Copyright policy )Use of Vicryl Mesh in Prevention of Postrhinoplasty Dorsal Irregularities
Small, palpable, and visible dorsal irregularities may occur in as many as 5–10% of rhinoplasties. They can be unacceptable to both the surgeon and patient and can lead to unwanted secondary surgery. In 88 patients treated over an 18-month period, VICRYL mesh implants consisting of one to three layers of VICRYL were placed under direct vision over the dorsal cartilage; care was taken to avoid disturbing any cartilage implants. Early results were impressive; there was an absence of palpable dorsal irregularities. This report describes the surgical technique and impressions during the 18-month period.
