I am Asian male, with thick skin, very low nasal bridge, I have consulted with several rhinoplasty surgeons, all of them recommend rib harvest to augment my nose, but some recommend using the Diced cartilage fascia (DCF) technique and some recommend using a Solid piece of rib, my goal is to have a higher and natural nose bridge, doesn't have to be too high but defined. What's the different between the two techniques and why? Thank you.

Answer: Rib or diced cartilage/fascia? Rib or diced cartilage/fascia? As you can tell from multiple answers of different techniques each surgeon has his own preference. I haven’t had to use rib to raise a low dorsum over 40 years. Forget the technique and focus on results with Asian noses and major Revision rhinoplasty with low dorsums.

Answer: Dorsal augmentation Hello and thank you for your question. For dorsal augmentation, I recommend diced cartilage wrapped in fascia (DCF). DCF does not have the risk of warping over time, which a rib graft has. Make
