Abstract

In this article, an anatomic reconstruction is described using cranial bone graft for the bony part of the nose while reconstructing the cartilaginous part with ear cartilage. This modification provides protection of the nose from the traumatic forces creating a flexible nasal tip. A modification is described and compared with the nasal reconstruction by calvarial bone itself.
