I underwent a primary rhinoplasty that which entailed the removal of the complete cephalic strip, as well as the application of two transdomal sutures to the medial crura. My revision will involve the use of ear cartilage that will span 6mm to 7mm to be applied to the lower lateral cartilage domes, and the unsuturing of the medial crura accompanied with a septal columella strut to separate the medial crura. How effective is ear cartilage in replacing a missing cephalic strip?
