Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the results of nasal tip and columella rhinoplasty using autologous auricular cartilage. Subjects and methods: Prospective, cross-sectional study on 59 patients undergoing nasal tip and columella rhinoplasty using autologous auricular cartilage. Results: 28 patients (38.98%) had low and short nasal tips; 16 patients (27.11%) had bulbous nasal tips and 20 patients (33.89%) had boxy nasal tips. 100% of cases had no complications immediately after surgery. Follow-up period was from 3 months to 9 months. The length of the nose after surgery improved by an average of 5.88 ± 4.65 mm longer than the preoperative nasal length. The height of the nasal tip was 1.91 ± 2.04 mm higher than the preoperative nose. Conclusion: Auricular cartilage is a suitable material to increase the height and strength of the nasal tip.
