Rhinoplasty, Augmentation: Workup
Updated: Mar 24, 2009
Workup
Imaging Studies
Imaging studies are generally not necessary. However, some authors have recommended limited preoperative computed tomographic scans of the sternum and ribs in elderly patients undergoing costal cartilage harvest. Experienced radiologists can determine the extent of calcification in the cartilaginous rib. Significant ossification may warrant the selection of alternative grafting material.
