Tip Grafting for the Asian Nose
Jang YJ, Kim SH.
In the archive as a landmark paper: the core sweep runs 2011–2026, and this one is here because the history of rhinoplasty rests on it · cited on tip onlay graft.
From the abstract
“Tip surgery during rhinoplasty is particularly difficult in Asians. Tip grafting is the best approach. Conchal cartilage with perichondrium and costal cartilage are powerful grafting materials. The most important grafting techniques are tip-onlay grafting, shield grafting, and multilayer tip grafting. Tip-onlay grafts…”

Nasal tip
Tip surgery is now a support problem rather than a sculpting problem: the septal extension graft holds projection and rotation where the columellar strut loses them (0.2% against 4.7% projection loss at one year), and the current series repair, reposition and reinforce the lower lateral cartilages instead of excising them.
Ethnic, Asian, Middle Eastern, African and Latino rhinoplasty
The nose in front of the surgeon decides the operation, not the patient's ancestry: skin thickness, cartilage strength and existing dorsal height set the limits of what any technique can deliver, and planning every nose toward one Caucasian ideal is the error the comparative data now names.
