Question:
I’ve heard that the best way to add definition to the nasal tip in Asian patients is with a rib graft or L-shaped implant. Is this true?
Answer:
I recommend that a patient use their own cartilage, not an artificial implant. Rib graft is certainly one good option, but septal cartilage or ear cartilage are also good options. This decision is made on a case-by-case basis.
