Abstract:
Objective:To observe the effect of partial nasal alar cartilage reconstruction with autogenous costal cartilage for nasal tip contour improvement.
Methods:From Feb. 2014 to Mar. 2016, 82 Chinese Han patients received rhinoplasty, including the requirement of nasal tip contour improvement. The cortical slices(0.1 cm in thickness) were used to augment the medial and middle crus of alar cartilage.
Results:Eighty-two cases were followed up for 11.7 months in average. One case(1.1%) with tip projection reduction and 2 cases(2.3%) with superior rotation of nasal tip underwent secondary operation with satisfactory result. Good result was achieved in all the other patients with no complication.
Conclusions:Partial nasal alar cartilage reconstruction with autogenous costal cartilage is effective for improvement of nasal tip contour in Orientals.
