“Augmenting the nasal dorsum with conchal grafts can cause visible irregularities over time due to the morphological qualities of that material. Objectives: This study describes the senior authors' technique of dorsal nasal augmentation with chondrofascial "open sandwich" grafts consisting of pieces of conchal…”

Rib, ear and septal grafts
Modern rhinoplasty builds rather than removes, so the operation runs on cartilage: the septum first, then the ear, then the rib, and when none of those will do, a piece of donated rib from a tissue bank.
