Saddle nose is a condition related to sinus injury, congenital syphilis, relapsing polychondritis, granulomatosis with polyangiitis, cocaine misuse, and leprosy, between other conditions. But most frequent etiology is nose injury. Because of the collapse of the bridge, it is characterized by a loss of height of the nose. The frustrated nose dorsum might involve bony, cartilaginous or each bony and cartilaginous parts of sinus dorsum. 隆韝 It could typically be corrected with augmentation rhinoplasty[1] by filling up the dorsum of nostrils with cartilage, bone or synthetic implant. If the depression is only cartilaginous, cartilage is taken from the nasal septum or auricle and laid in single or multiple layers. If deformity involves both bone and cartilage, cancellous bone from iliac crest is the best replacement.

Autografts are desired around allografts. Saddle deformity can also be corrected by synthetic implants of teflon or silicon, but they are likely to be extruded.
