The authors study some cases of surgical revision in post traumatic or secondary rhinoplasty. Cartilaginous grafts with temporal superficialis fascia are recommended. The removal of ear cartilage is used by a posterior approach for the concha cartilage associated with a septum or an alar cartilage removal. They describe the Delta graft associating a concha cartilage supported by a prop (auricular or septal) to repair a loss of substance from the middle or lower third of the nasal pyramid.
