Abstract
Any discussion of grafting the dorsum in secondary rhinoplasty must take into account
the different indications (aesthetic, augmentation, and structure) as well as recent
changes in materials and techniques (fascia, diced cartilage). We have placed solid
dorsal grafts with diced cartilage grafts either as an isolated diced cartilage graft
in fascia graft or as the aesthetic dorsal contour layer of a composite reconstruction.
The rational for this profound change in selection and indication of dorsal grafts
for revising the overresected dorsum will become clear as the various alternative
materials and techniques are analyzed. Currently, we only employ autogenous tissues.
