Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the role of autologous septal cartilage in nasal tip augmentation.Methods Under local anesthesia,nasal tip was exposed using a"bird-wing"incision.The hypertrophic tissue at the nasal tip was removed.Nasal septal cartilage(2 cm × 1 cm)was harvested.The cartilage was used to augment the nasal tip and nasal alar cartilage.Meanwhile,the cartilage was inserted between the nasal alar cartilages to elevate the nasal tip.Results Among 15 cases,13 were followed after operation.The shape of nasal tip improved at different level.The results were satisfying.Conclusion Compared with other materials,the autologous septal cartilage is an ideal material for nasal tip augmentation without rejection effect.
