Abstract
Background Nasal dorsum augmentation using autogenous cartilage grafts, although popularly performed, has some inherent disadvantages. Techniques utilizing alloplastic implants can be affected by unattractive outcomes, such as extrusion or unfavorable contour.
Objective To describe a novel surgical technique for augmenting the nasal dorsum utilizing “autogenous folded cartilage” (AFC) to overcome the disadvantages associated with both autogenous and alloplastic implant techniques.
Methods A total of 32 patients with dorsal nasal deformities were treated using the AFC technique between January 2006 and October 2009. After harvesting the patient's septal and auricular cartilage, the cartilage was folded and secured with absorbable sutures and placed as an onlay graft over an osseointegrated implant. The patients were evaluated preoperatively, immediately after surgery, and then every month postoperatively for up to 12 months. The nasal profile lines were compared by tracing the patient's profile photograph before and after surgery.
Results Thirtytwo noses were successfully augmented with AFC. No major complications, such as graft rejection or infection, were encountered. The mean followup was 12 months. Analysis of all 32 patients showed an average dorsal height increase of 3.3 mm with an average subcutaneous soft tissue thickness of 2.0 mm. The subjective satisfaction rate was 90.6% at 12 months.
Conclusions AFC technique combined with an osseointegrated implant allows nasal dorsum augmentation without the disadvantages of either autogenous cartilage or alloplastic implants.

Introduction
Augmentation of the nasal dorsum is a surgical procedure commonly performed in rhinoplasty. [1–3] The techniques traditionally used to augment the nasal dorsum, including autogenous cartilage grafts and alloplastic implants, have some drawbacks. Although autogenous cartilage grafts are associated with a low incidence of complications, such as resorption or infection, it is limited in quantity, especially with reoperations. [4–7] Moreover, autogenous cartilage grafts usually require extensive and timeconsuming carving and sculpting to form a proper framework, which can increase operative time and risk. In addition, autogenous cartilage grafts may lead to contour irregularity, especially if the graft is warped or thin. [8] On the other hand, alloplastic implants are widely used because of their abundance and easy modeling. However, their use is limited by the risk of complications, such as erosion, extrusion, and infection. [9–11] Even with proper positioning and instrumentation, some patients may still experience an unnatural appearance or reveal a lateral shadow under certain light conditions. [12]
To overcome the disadvantages of both autogenous cartilage and alloplastic implants, we developed a novel surgical technique utilizing “autogenous folded cartilage” (AFC) to augment the nasal dorsum. This technique provides the benefits of both autogenous cartilage and alloplastic implants while avoiding the disadvantages of each. [13,14]
Our aims were to describe the surgical techniques and present our results of this novel technique.
Methods
Patients
Between January 2006 and October 2009, 32 patients with dorsal nasal deformities were treated with AFC for nasal dorsum augmentation at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Linkou, Taiwan. The maletofemale ratio was 1:3.1. The average patient age was 25.5 years, ranging from 15 to 40 years. Dorsal hump reduction was combined with AFC augmentation in 12 patients.
Surgical Technique
Septal and auricular cartilage harvesting
The septal cartilage of each patient was harvested through a Killian incision. The anterior segment of the septum (approximately 15 mm) was preserved for support. The auricular cartilage was harvested with a back incision made beneath the prominence of the antihelix. Following harvest, the collected cartilage was meticulously trimmed of excess perichondrium and adipose tissue.
Cartilage folding
The harvested cartilage was folded upon itself over a 30gauge wire to simulate the thickness of the dorsum. Cartilage from the septum was used as a core and wrapped by auricular cartilage. The whole structure was then sutured together using absorbable sutures (60 Monocryl; Ethicon, Somerville, NJ) (Fig. 1).
Incision and implant placement
A transcolumellar incision was made, and a subperiosteal pocket was dissected. An osseointegrated implant (Implantech SL; Toulouse, France) was positioned over the nasal bone and the frontal process of the maxilla. The implant was secured by 12–14 microscrews (Fig. 2).
Autogenous folded cartilage placement
The AFC was shaped according to the desired dorsal contour. The AFC was placed as an onlay graft over the implant through the transcolumellar incision (Fig. 3). The caudal end of the AFC was designed to be slightly shorter to prevent compression by the upper lateral cartilage (Fig. 4).
Evaluation
The patients were evaluated preoperatively, immediately after surgery, and every month postoperatively for up to 12 months. The nasal profile lines were compared by tracing the patient's profile photograph before and after surgery to evaluate the surgical outcome. The amount of nasal dorsum elevation was determined by a straight line drawn from the nasion to the nasal tip and the highest point of the dorsum before and after surgery (Fig. 5). The thickness of the subcutaneous soft tissue at the highest point of the dorsum was measured preoperatively and postoperatively using a caliper. The patient satisfaction was rated by a questionnaire at 12 months postoperatively.
Results
A total of 32 noses were successfully augmented with AFC. No major complications, such as graft rejection or infection, were encountered. All patients had a stable result at the 12month followup. The mean followup was 12 months. Analysis of all 32 patients showed an average dorsal height increase of 3.3 mm with an average subcutaneous soft tissue thickness of 2.0 mm. The subjective satisfaction rate was 90.6% at 12 months. Representative cases are shown in Figures 6–8.
Discussion
The goal of nasal dorsum augmentation is to create a smooth structural framework that supports the overlying soft tissue. The ideal augmentation material should be biocompatible, have a natural appearance, and be easy to manipulate and secure. [15,16] Autogenous cartilage grafts have been the gold standard because they have excellent longterm results and a low rate of complications. [17–19] However, autogenous cartilage grafts are limited in both quality and quantity, especially in patients who have had previous rhinoplasties. [2,20] On the other hand, alloplastic implants have also been widely used because of their abundance and easy modeling. [1,7,12] However, alloplastic implants are associated with the risk of complications, such as extrusion, infection, and bone resorption. [10,11,21]
To overcome the disadvantages of both autogenous cartilage grafts and alloplastic implants, we developed a novel surgical technique that utilizes AFC to augment the nasal dorsum. AFC combines the advantages of both autogenous cartilage and alloplastic implants while avoiding their disadvantages. [13,14] The autogenous cartilage of the AFC provides a natural framework support for the overlying soft tissue and is less prone to warping compared with the thin alloplastic implants. To further reinforce the strength of the AFC, cartilage from the septum is used as a core and wrapped by auricular cartilage. Moreover, the use of absorbable sutures, instead of nonabsorbable materials, minimizes the risk of infection. The osseointegrated implant provides a stable foundation for the AFC and prevents the rotational or lateral displacement of the graft. In addition, the osseointegrated implant is unlikely to cause extrusion or rejection because of his special design, such as his porous surface and 360degree thread. [22,23]
In our series, we have successfully augmented nasal dorsa with AFC. The average dorsal height increase was 3.3 mm with an average subcutaneous soft tissue thickness of 2.0 mm. No major complications, such as graft rejection or infection, were encountered. The subjective satisfaction rate was 90.6% at 12 months. However, our method does have some limitations. First, the nasal dorsum augmentation with AFC cannot be a standalone procedure. It must be combined with the osseointegrated implant. Second, similar to autogenous cartilage grafts, AFC augmentation requires some carving and sculpting to shape the desired contour. In addition, AFC augmentation may not be suitable for patients having a very thick nasal skin. In these patients, a higher and wider implant should be considered.
Conclusion
AFC technique combined with an osseointegrated implant allows nasal dorsum augmentation without the disadvantages of either autogenous cartilage or alloplastic implants. This
