A solution for revision rhinoplasty with thinned nasal tip skin: An extended dermofat graft

With the ever-increasing demand for a higher nasal tip in Asian rhinoplasty, numerous surgical techniques have been introduced [1]. Consequently, complications involving the nasal tip are encountered more often [2]. Especially in revision rhinoplasty where the skin envelope covering the nasal tip has been compromised, surgeons are hesitant to retain the previous projection. Therefore, it would be ideal to identify a technique for retaining the previously achieved nasal projection and providing adequate coverage. The authors propose a method for achieving this goal utilizing a dermofat graft.
