ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a number of novel implants for use in cosmetic and reconstructive nasal surgery, and kits and structural elements comprising various combinations of those implants. The invention includes a technique for securing various implants to each other that will reduce the complexity of the surgery and the required operating time. Another aspect of the invention includes structures that permit the quick and yet secure attachment to each other of various elements, in a way that the surgeon can use to build up a desired shape and provide actual structural support for the involved portion of the patient's features.
