Video Summary

In this procedure, the surgeon performs a complex revision rhinoplasty using MTF cartilage. The cartilage, slightly warped due to thawing, is being prepared for specific grafts. A thick, rigid piece is carved for a collumellar strut graft to provide the patient with the necessary tip support. The remaining cartilage is split sagitally for two alar contour grafts. While the process would differ if spreader grafts were needed, the focus for this patient is on enhancing tip support with these precise adjustments.
