Paul O’Keeffe, M.B., B.S., (Syd), F.R.C.S., F.R.A.C.S., Sydney, Australia describes his semi-open rhinoplasty technique using the MEDPOR® Nasal Shell for saddle nose deformity. The MEDPOR Nasal Shell Implant, developed with Dr. O’Keeffe, resembles the natural nasal pyramid and was designed specifically to augment the nasal bones and upper lateral cartilage. The Nasal Shell is provided sterile in two sizes with two optional dorsal inserts to fill any void under the implant, and a silicone sizer.

Tadeusz Wellisz, M.D., University of Southern California and Robert D. Wallace, M.D., Chief of Plastic Surgery, University of Tennessee, explain the use of the MEDPOR Nasal Arch and Nasal Sheet in rhinoplasty procedures. Pre and postoperative photos are shown.
