Diced Cartilage + Glue | Fascia
Diced Cartilage + Glue. Finely diced cartilage is mixed with tissue glue to create a bioactive paste which can be use to smoothen minor irregularities or create a mild elevation of the dorsum. The cartilage can be taken from the septum or ear cartilage. As only small amount of cartilage is needed, additional incisions may be avoided. Due to resorption, there may be some loss of dorsal height.
Diced Cartilage + Fascia. The diced cartilage is wrapped within fascia harvested from the scalp through a hidden incision. Economical use of the cartilage enables the surgeon to maximise the cartilage from septum and ear to create full dorsal augmentation. Resorption rates are low as the diced cartilage is wrapped within the fascia. Irregularities and deviation are also uncommon.
Fascia only.
Fasica only grafts can be used to augment the radix or to increase the thickness of noses with very thin skin.
