Rolled auricular cartilage grafts for dorsal augmentation rhinoplasty.
We present a technique, which has not been previously described in the literature, of using rolled autogenous conchal cartilage for dorsal augmentation via an endonasal or external rhinoplasty approach. This technique gives greater dorsal height compared with the more common layering techniques. It is most appropriate in the minimally or moderately saddled nose.
