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.
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.
