Abstract
Projection of the nasal tip has gained increased recognition as a measurable and visual characteristic that has an impact on the results of aesthetic rhinoplasty. Autologous cartilage tip grafts have been used in many techniques to increase tip projection and contour the tip during rhinoplasty. This article introduces a graduated method of tip graft fixation correlated with specific clinical measurements related to tip projection. After careful analysis of tip projection and contour, a predictable graft fixation technique can be selected to obtain the desired degree of nasal tip projection and sculpting.
