Various techniques using cartilage are used to hide the nasal dorsum, such as crushed cartilage, free diced cartilage, surgical-wrapped diced cartilage, or diced cartilage mixed with blood glue. Diced cartilage can address issues that arise with solid materials. However, it may lead to undesirable outcomes such as graft deformation and migration. It is challenging to uniformly implant the loosely linked cartilage pieces. To prevent issues, cartilage is mixed with other materials to serve as a stabilizing scaffold.This descriptive study will examine fibrin glue, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and warm blood as stabilizing scaffolds for correcting saddle nose deformity.To compare functional and aesthetic results of the fibrin glue, PRP, and warm blood usage with diced cartilage for correction of saddle nose deformity in rhinoplasty as a descriptive study.This prospective interventional study was conducted on 30 patients with saddle nose undergoing rhinoplasty with dorsal nasal augmentation using three materials to collide the diced cartilage.
