A number of techniques have been used to repair saddle nose deformities. Tissue properties of autogenous costal cartilage make it particularly suitable for nasal augmentation. Graft warping is one the most common complications of costal cartilage use. Many trials have been attempted to overcome warping, none of them was totally successful. In this study 14 cases with saddle nose deformity were corrected using a modification of Skoog’s technique with satisfactory results.
