An updated diced cartilage fascia technique for dorsal augmentation in rhinoplasty

Diced Costal Cartilage for Augmentation Rhinoplasty

Diced cartilage grafts wrapped in AlloDerm for dorsal nasal augmentation.

Dorsal nasal augmentation is commonly performed for various aesthetic deficiencies and/or reconstructive defects such as the saddle nose deformity. However, the optimal technique for volume augmentation has yet to be identified. The senior author (F.P.) has since developed a new modified technique using wrapped diced cartilage within an AlloDerm. This novel construct provides the plastic surgeo...

Diced cartilage grafts in rhinoplasty surgery: current techniques and applications.

BACKGROUND The author has used diced cartilage grafts in nasal surgery for more than 30 years. However, the number of cases and the variety of techniques have increased dramatically over the past 6 years. METHODS The author uses three methods of diced cartilage in rhinoplasty surgery: diced cartilage, diced cartilage wrapped in fascia (with fascia then sewn closed), and diced cartilage covere...

Osteotomies in rhinoplasty: an updated technique.

The authors have found external percutaneous perforated lateral ostcotomies to be predictable, versatile, and reproducible. Here, they provide their updated technique and recent refinements.

CenoDerm vs. Fascia lata for the Prevention of Dorsal Nasal Irregularities in Rhinoplasty

Introduction: Dorsal nasal irregularity is a complication of rhinoplasty surgery, mostly seen in patients with thin skin. Acellular dermis (CenoDerm) and homologous fascia lata covering the nasal bone cartilage structure have been used to achieve a smooth surface. In this study, we aimed to investigate clinical outcomes using these two materials. Materials and Methods: After a standard rhinopla...
