RIB Plaster: a versatile, moldable derivative from scraping the periphery of the rib.

A simple technique is described for obtaining "rib plaster" by scraping the whitish peripheral portion of residual segments of rib after the perichondrium is removed and appropriate multiple laminations are derived This putty-like substance tends to conglomerate appropriately due to its high density and has unique properties: readily compacted into diced cartilage inserters, smoothly injected, easily moldable. "Rib plaster" serves well for camouflage of irregularities of the dorsum and tip as well as for mild augmentation. It comes to no further cost and in an adequate supply once a full-thickness rib segment is harvested for secondary rhinoplasty.
