title: [DC-F technique cartilage graft for nasal saddle correction].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Cartilage and bone graft are customarily used for dorsal augmentation in rhinoplasty. Daniel and Calvert described an original technique in 2004, using diced cartilage grafts wrapped in temporal fascia (DC-F).
  
  
  METHODS
  We describe the technical procedure used to correct severe nasal saddles with stable results.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Diced cartilage grafts wrapped in temporal fascia is an interesting alternative in rhinoplasty with dorsal augmentation: this composite graft is malleable and can be used whatever the quality of the recipient site. It remains malleable postoperatively.
