Diced cartilage for dorsal augmentation in rhinoplasty: effect on nasal projection and frontal nasal width
Golpayegani G, Sazgar AA, Sazgar AK, Amali A, Sadeghi M.
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 diced cartilage grafts.
From the abstract
“This research study was designed to evaluate the aesthetic consequences of different dorsal augmentation techniques using diced cartilage on dorsal width and projection in rhinoplasty. Patients were assigned to three groups based on the dorsal augmentation technique used: diced cartilage wrapped in fascia (DCIF), free…”

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.
Dorsum and hump
The hump is the commonest reason people ask for rhinoplasty and the step that decides most of what follows: take the roof off and the middle vault has to be rebuilt, keep the roof and it may push its way back up.
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.
