Abstract: | Abstract: Nasal dorsum augmentation is one of the most frequently performed procedures during rhinoplasty, especially in Asians and reconstructive cases. One can use autogenous cartilage grafts or alloplastic implants for this purpose. However, the potential for permanent damage to the skin and soft tissues as well as complications such as infection and extrusion of the implant make autogenous tissue augmentation preferable to alloplastic implantation. Furthermore, there is scant literature information about long-term outcomes and complications related to these implants. This brief report aimed to describe a unique case of migration of an alloplastic implant from the nose to the forehead, simulating a frontal sinus fistula. |
