Abstract
This case report details a 21-year-old transgender female who underwent concomitant trichophyllic brow lift with frontal bone reduction, tracheal shave (aka thyroid chondroplasty), and rhinoplasty, for facial feminization in conjunction with her transitioning process. During her rhinoplasty (like many others), harvesting cartilage for structural grafting is often necessary and this is typically done from a distant, unrelated surgical site. During this case, cartilage from the thyroid lamina was utilized in structural grafting in the form of a columellar strut. This case highlights utilization of thyroid cartilage in a novel way, as a structural graft in open rhinoplasty (in a transgender patient) and reviews the surgical approach and anatomy for a thyroid chondroplasty.
