Sumario:Although various techniques have been described for treatment of severe nose deformities, these problems have high revision rates. Conventional nasal septal surgery may not be adequate for all cases. A 21-year-old male patient with nose deformity underwent a nasal surgery. Patient had both functional and aesthetic nasal problems. Rigid fibular bone graft was used for corrective nasal surgery. Duration of the operation was three hours. Patient recovered without problems. Aesthetic and functional results of the operation were acceptable. Fibular bone graft may offer a long lasting support in treatment of severe nose deformity.
