Compound implant to project the nasal tip.
Use of a compound implant to project the nasal tip in cases of thick skin, a depressed or slightly descending tip, and a minimal bony hump is reported. This implant gives shape and projection, is easy to obtain, and is well tolerated by the organism. It is made of a strip of septal cartilage or silastic; the anterior end is covered by a portion of alar cartilage. There is a low percentage of complications with this technique.
