Popis: | When planning rhinoplasty, there are several options of grafts for augmentation, especially in relatively short and small Asian noses. Among such grafts, conchal cartilage is one of the most commonly used materials due to its histological similarity to nasal alar cartilage. Keloids and hypertrophic scars are fibroproliferative disorders that can occur after deep cutaneous injury. Since patients who wish to undergo rhinoplasty tend to have a lot of interest in cosmetic appearance, keloid formation can be serious complication to them. This case report presents an 18-year-old man who experienced keloid formation following conchal cartilage graft at 6 months after rhinoplasty. The authors introduce the case and review the considerations in prevention and treatment strategies for keloid scars after conchal cartilage harvest in Asian rhinoplasty. |
