Abstract: An implant utilized in nasal reconstructive surgeries. In the primary mode, the device is intended to provide support for the external nasal valve when natural cartilage is insufficient due to prior poorly-performed rhinoplasty, trauma, defects, or age. In this preferred mode, the device is an elongated, concave, oval-shaped member, preferably constructed of a porous polyethylene. A unique method of the implantation thereof is also provided, wherein the implant is placed through an external rhinoplasty approach. More particularly, residual lower lateral cartilage is removed, the implant is inserted into an external valve pocket formed by the same, staying in place due to soft tissue therearound, and the nasal tip is re-draped. In total, usage of the foregoing allows patients to experience significant improvement in breathing and airway management following the external nasal valve reconstruction procedure.
