Augmentation can be with diced cartilage alone. Many surgeons use fascia to have better contour and definition. Some use biologic adhesive which works well. Diced cartilage alone can have irregularities if the skin is thin but that depends on the surgical technique. Talk to your surgeon about the details and why they use what they use. Best wishes
Diced cartilage needs something to hold it together. Fascia is a tried and true way of doing this. Tissue glue has been used recently and has good success rates 2 years out. Our experience shows it is a good way to augment the dorsum but can be a bit more expensive because of the biologics. Seek out a consultation with a board-certified rhinoplasty expert. Best wishes.
Diced cartilage can be freely placed in the nasal bridge but I prefer wrapping it in fascia so I have much more control over the contour of my graft.

Thanks for your question. For refining the tip of the nose, either a closed or open (my preferred method to get maximum control of symmetry) tip rhinoplasty can be performed which refines the bulbous area with minimal scarring. An open technique allows better visualization and control of the ...
The Vectra 3D Imaging machine is an excellent tool that will soon be the standard of care in rhinoplasty. The idea behind the use of this machine is not to guarantee a particular result per se, it is to ensure that the goal of the patient and the surgeon is the same. I use the Vectra in my r...
Your post raises the question as to why you want to reverse the effects of the tip sutures to begin with. I presume it's because the tip is too narrow or pointy. If the surgery was performed VERY recently (within weeks or so) and nothing else at all was done to the tip as you suggest, the most...
