Comparing the Effects of Tongue-In-Groove and Septocolumellar Suture With Short and Floating Columellar Strut of Open Rhinoplasty on Nasal Tip Rotation and Projection

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 columellar strut.
From the abstract
“In rhinoplasty, it is important to maintain the desired tip projection and rotation. The aim of the present study was to compare the tongue-in-groove (TIG) method and the septocolumellar suture method with short and floating columellar strut methods over a six-month follow-up period. Methods: A total of 69 patients…”

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.
