Proximal Intact Spreader Graft in Let-Down Dorsal Preservation Rhinoplasty
Öztürk G.
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 spreader grafts.
From the abstract
“Grafts and flaps play significant roles in rhinoplasty procedures, while spreader grafts are commonly used. Spreader grafts are placed into submucosal pockets between the upper lateral cartilage and nasal septum. Occurrence of deviation can be seen on nondeviated noses after let-down or push-down methods are performed…”

Preservation rhinoplasty
Preservation rhinoplasty lowers the hump by taking cartilage and bone out from underneath and letting the roof of the nose settle, instead of cutting the roof off and rebuilding it.
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.
