Case 1
A 23-year-old female patient presented with a small nose and low tip
projection. Dorsal augmentation with a Gore-Tex implant and tip plasty
was performed using a non-incisional, back-to-back, bent double-layered
conchal cartilage extension graft with a pagoda-shaped onlay graft.
Comparisons of preoperative and 24-month postoperative photographs
showed that nasal tip projection ratio increased and nasal tip location
ratio decreased. In other words, nasal tip projection increased, and tip
position was maintained without cephalic rotation (Fig. 4).
