OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of mastoid bone autograft for dorsal nasal augmentation in rhinoplasty.

DESIGN: A prospective study of 15 consecutive patients submitted to dorsal nasal augmentation with mastoid bone, during a 2-year period.

SETTING: One major academic medical center.
