Abstract
The reconstruction of the nasal dorsum after a hump resection is challenging if narrowing
of the nose is to be avoided, the nasal skin is very thin, and the nasal bones are
short. This report describes the replacement of the bony and cartilaginous nasal dorsum
after resection with an anatomically shaped dorsal replacement graft of diced cartilage
in fibrin glue. The technique is illustrated with a clinical case and sonographic
morphometry of the nasal dorsum and tip. A modification of the diced cartilage glue
graft for thin-skinned patients is presented.
