Tip Graft and Columellar Strut Using Dorsal Osseocartilaginous Hump
Background: Although, different grafts are used for nasal tip plasty in cases with under projected or ill defined tip, the selection of a graft material, which provides sufficient amount of tissue with least donor site morbidity and low recipient site complication is challenging. The objectives of the present study were to examine the usefulness of cartilaginous dorsum as a proper material for ...
متن کاملAlternative technique for tip support in secondary rhinoplasty.
BACKGROUND Re-establishing nasal tip projection is one of the main objectives in secondary rhinoplasty. The columellar strut is used as a basic element for support and the septal cartilage graft as the first choice for reconstruction. Nevertheless, the septal cartilage is often missing in this category of patient because of previous surgery, obliging the surgeon to seek a safe, effective, and v...
متن کاملQuantifying Optimal Columellar Strut Dimensions for Nasal Tip Stabilization After Rhinoplasty via Finite Element Analysis.
IMPORTANCE The contribution of columellar strut grafts (CSGs) to nasal tip support has not been determined via structural mechanics. Optimal graft dimensions have yet to be objectively determined. OBJECTIVES To use a finite element model (FEM) of the human nose to (1) determine the effect of the CSG on nasal tip support and (2) identify how suture placement contributes to tip support. DESIG...
متن کاملL-Shaped Columellar Strut in East Asian Nasal Tip Plasty
BACKGROUND Nasal tip support is an essential consideration for rhinoplasty in East Asians. There are many techniques to improve tip projection, and among them, the columellar strut is the most popular technique. However, the conventional design is less supportive for rotating the tip. The amount of harvestable septal cartilage is relatively small in East Asians. For an optimal outcome, we propo...
متن کاملNew concepts in nasal tip contouring.
Control of nasal tip contour has always been a key component of a successful rhinoplasty. Typically, this procedure is performed with an emphasis on narrowing the nasal tip structure. Creating a natural-appearing nasal tip contour is a complex task and requires a 3-dimensional approach. In an effort to identify the characteristics that make an ideal nasal tip, I evaluated numerous aesthetically...
