The main decision that the surgeon makes is whether to use natural materials taken from the patient or whether to use one of the artificial materials that are safe to place in the nose. rnrnThe most common natural material is cartilage, which can be taken from the nasal septum, or from the ear, or from a rib. The location from which the cartilage is taken depends mostly on how much cartilage is needed. If a very large graft is required, rib will be used. The nasal septum or the ear can serve as a source of cartilage for smaller grafts.rnrnWatch the experience of the patient who underwent this and many other procedures during her ethnic, or westernization, rhinoplasty at... rnhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QobQdRapPfsrnrnDr. Nassif\'s practice, Spalding Drive Cosmetic Surgery, is located in Beverly Hills, CA.rnhttp://www.spaldingplasticsurgery.comrnrnOPERATIVE TECHNIQUE:rnBruised conchal cartilage wrapped in temporalis fascia was placed as an onlay dorsal graft from the radix (approx 4 -5mm) to the supratip (approx 3 mm) region.
