Abstract: Objective To explore the in vivo viability of diced cartilage grafts after augmentation rhinoplasty by histological observation.Methods A retrospective analysis was done to the cases of augmentation rhinoplasty with diced cartilage grafts from January 2015 to December 2017.The reason for revision surgery was summarized and the diced cartilage grafts collected in revision surgery were analyzed histologically.Results The reason for revision surgery include overcorrection,visibility,displacement and dorsum deviation.Diced cartilage grafts collected in revision cases exhibited cartilage-like appearance.Histological analysis showed cartilage lacuna structure and abundant extracellular matrix accumulation.Conclusion Diced cartilage grafts exhibit original character in vivo after augmentation rhinoplasty according to histological analysis.
