A Novel Approach to Provide Long-Term Tip Projection and Rotation Stability: Lateral Columellar Strut Graft
Yücel S, Akyol G, Ünverdi ÖF.
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
“One of the methods applied to ensure the long-term continuity of the desired result in rhinoplasty is to detect it by placing columellar strut between the medial crus. Columellar strut helps to increase tip support and projection. However, the placement of the strut between the medial crus can disrupt the divergence…”

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.
