The postnasal skin graft inlay was the most frequent procedure, and it seems best suited for these repairs in developing countries where the patients often present late with major deformities. For minor and early nasal deformities, the insertion of a bone graft or a silicone rubber implant is recommended.</p>  a0032-1052
