Objective: In our study, we aimed to investigate the success of Platelett-rich fibrin matrix (PRFM) septorhinoplasty cartilage graft applications obtained from the patient’s own blood easily and cheaply.

Methods: Four patients who presented at the Otorhinolaryngology Clinic of Ankara Numune Training and Research Hospital underwent open technical septorhinoplasty. Preoperative 10 cc venous blood was taken into two separate biochemistry tubes and centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 12 minutes. PRFM was prepared. The cartilages taken from the septum were divided into 0.3-0.5 cm in average. Cartilages were divided into PRFM and dorsal irregularity and type were applied.

Results: 2 patients were implanted PRFM-wrapped cartilage graft to the type 2 region of the other 2 patients who were implanted in the dorsal region PRFM split cartilage graft.

Conclusion: Although our findings were short-term in our study, considering the problems in other grafting methods used in routine, it can be a grafting method that can be used safely in PRFM-wrapped cartilage graft septorhinoplasty
