Maximum projection possible with rhinoplasty grafts?

Question

I'd like to know what is the limitation on how far a graft can augment an area, for example, the Radix. Up to a centimeter perhaps?

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

When we offer augmentation rhinoplasty, we prefer ePTFE onlay grafts. We purchased them from implantech, and 6 mm is the maximum thickness. These grafts can be sewn to each other for enhanced augmentation depending on your condition. I hope this is helpful. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Hello! Thank you for your question. It is possible to augment the radix up to a few mm. It depends on how much your skin allows us to give projection to your nose.If you can provide some face photos I would be able to make an evaluation for your case.

I don’t particularly care for grafts in rhinoplasty. I radix graft of one centimeter is really going overboard. It would help to see photos

Augmentation from nasal graft: nasal grafts are usually comprised of cartilage. The thickness of most of the grafts  used in Rhinoplasty is one or 2 mm., 3 mm would be a rather large graft.
