Cartilage is often used from one’s own nose to smoothen out irregularities and build up the nose. If the nose cartilage has already been utilized then ear cartilage or rib cartilage may have to be used to get the wanted results. Silicone is also available for the nose to bring up a depressed nose but being a foreign material, it has the chance of getting infected and rejection.
