Abstract
The S-shape of configuration has been reported in 88% of patients in a cadaver study and in 75.2% of patients
in a prospective study. The correct assessment and management of nasal dorsum is crucial for the rhinoplasty
surgeon. After we aline the desired new shape of the nasal dorsum, the radix becomes a new challenge to assess
to obtain a balanced profile. If the radix is too low, it reduces the nose visually generating a short nose and the
delusion of a pseudohump. Here we present a new type of composite graft – cartilage and bone dust – which
we can use as an option to augment the radix.
