A New Concept in the Tip Plasty of Asian Rhinoplasty

Winners Clinic161 enrolled

Overview

For achieving the desired refinements in Asian patients, sufficient septal cartilage must be needed for the ieal tip projection and lengthening of the nose by the septal extension graft, columellar septal strut graft, and onlay tip graft, shield graft. Actually there are many cases having insufficient septal cartilages in Asian augmentation rhinoplasty. The investigators propose the new technique, so called 'Flag Technique' by a tip-strut complex in a flag-like shape : using only the septal cartilage as an elongated columellar septal strut graft, a shield graft , bilateral mini-spreader grafts of the upper part in the elongated columellar septal strut graft without the septal extension graft to achieve the desired the result.
