Abstract

A technique used concomitantly with Rethi's incision to reach and treat the secondary nasal tip is described. The technique involves removing the cartilage remnants of both domes and placing a shaped cartilage autograft that is immobilized by sutures. No hypertrophic scarring has been observed in the 546 patients treated.
