Summary: | Nasal septal perforation, often encountered as a complication of rhinoplasty, presents a significant clinical challenge, particularly following procedures focused on nose lengthening or augmenting, such as septal extension surgeries. Herein, we present a case of septal perforation, which was successfully treated through a temporalis fascia graft combined with costal cartilage graft from a donor. We explored the etiology of nasal septal perforation and delved into various treatment options through this investigation involving a female patient who experienced persistent crusting and nasal obstruction following rhinoplasty. The surgical approach adopted for the case and the outcomes, and the nuances in managing septal perforation complexity are presented.
