Methods 16 cases, including 11 of primary and 5 of secondary over rotation of nasal tip, were corrected with strut grafts using autologous cartilage or combined with Medpor to reconstruct the supporting structures underneath to improve the upward and forward strength of the nasal tip in order to increase the nasal height and to correct the over rotation of of nasal tip. The shield and cap grafts were also used for the patients whose nasal tip were too low, with vertical dome division technique. Results 16 cases were corrected satisfactorily, the nasal lip angles were normal and there were no complications by follow-up from 6 months to 1 year. Conclusion It is necessary to provide powerful forward and upward strength to correct the over rotation of nasal tip effectively and safely, and proper cartilage grafts can im-prove the height of the nasal tip and correct the over rotation of the nasal tip further.
