Chapter  Dorsal Augmentation: Temporal Fascia–Wrapped Diced Cartilage 295
https://t.me/medicina_free
e shape of the gra can be either uniform or tapered. Tapered gra is thicker cephalically or caudally. e shape should be as accurate as possible before inser­tion. Surgeons should not expect to create the ideal shape with molding.
Containment
Diced cartilage alone can be placed directly into a tight pocket for contour, lay ered on either side of a rigid dorsal gra for blending, or placed in parapiriform pockets to advance the midface. When it is used as dorsal or radix gras, Ipre­fer to wrap the diced cartilage in autologous fascia to conne the gra, smooth irregularities, and encourage it to function as a neoperichondrium. Itried the Turkish delight method described by Erol,

occurred in all cases, which Iattributed to a foreign body reaction to Surgicel.
Diced cartilage gras are not new. ey have been used ever since modern plastic surgery began. For the past decade, Ihave used DC-F rather than solid dorsal gras for dorsal augmentation.
INDICATIONS AND CONTRAINDICATIONS
During the past years, the indications for using DC-F have expanded to in­clude the entire range of rhinoplasty cases without restriction as to age ( to years), ethnicity, cause, or number of prior surgeries.

Dorsum
Diced cartilage has dramatically revolutionized dorsal gras in rhinoplasty sur­gery. Compared with rigid cartilage gras, it is a far simpler technique, quicker (minutes versus  to hours), more exible as to height ( to mm) and length ( to mm), and has fewer postoperative problems and in my opinion superior aesthetic results. As shown in case studies, DC-F has truly changed what can be achieved in primary cases that require very rened gras. e indications in primary cases include low dorsum, ethnic nose, and partial-length gras in the radix/dorsum. ous prior operations and in cases in which cadaver cartilage has failed. e indi­cations for DC-F gras in secondary cases can be divided into the categories of contour augmentation and composite reconstruction. A contour augmentation is

designed to create an ideal dorsal aesthetic prole. A composite reconstruction is composed of a deep structural layer to provide nasal support with an overlying aesthetic layer of DC-F that achieves the nal dorsal contour.
,
A DC-F construct is carefully placed in the nose using percutaneous sutures. e skin is redraped and the contour checked. Pieces of cartilage can be removed from the open caudal end to achieve nal shape.
Radix
My initial interest in using Turkish delight gras was to replace the need to har­vest fascia for radix gras. e failure of these gras in my  cases led me to use DC-F gras in the radix. Based on my prior overcorrection with Turkish delight gras, Iovercorrected my initial six DC-F gras and had to reduce them. Subse­quently, some of the DC-F gras in the radix were visible, especially in patients with very active eyebrow excursion. Ihave reduced two cases. us Itend to use fascia alone for minor and moderate-sized radix gras. Ireserve DC-F gras for major radix defects and half-length radix/dorsal gras. Visibility has not been a problem in these cases probably because of thicker skin in the former and more caudal placement in the latter.
When the shape of the dorsum is satisfactory, a Denver splint is applied with the foam pad, helping to ensure a smooth dorsum. When the cast is removed, the patient is instructed not to massage the nose or wear glasses for 4 to 6weeks.
ere are no specic contraindications if dorsal augmentation is required. Ihave used DC-F gras for immediate reconstruction aer removal of infected silicone implants, extensive nasal collapse in cocaine patients, and under extremely thin, scarred skin envelopes. Perhaps the best validation of the technique is that for the past decade Ihave placed DC-F exclusively for dorsal augmentation and no longer use solid dorsal gras.
DC-F gras can be used in the entire range of rhinoplasty cases, from primary cases requiring augmentation to unexpected defects encountered in secondary cases to composite reconstruction for a collapsed nose, and for burned out cases requiring an aesthetic reconstructive rhinoplasty.

PREOPERATIVE ASSESSMENT AND PLANNING
Preoperative planning for a DC-F gra is the same as for any rhinoplasty. Idis­cuss the need for gras with every patient. All primary patients must sign for the harvesting of fascia and ear cartilage, and all secondary patients must also agree to a rib gra. Ind that drawing basic angles (nasofacial, tip, and columel­lar inclination) and lengths (tip projection and ideal dorsum) on full-size pho­tographs is helpful. Photographic analysis and planning are extremely valuable for determining ideal and realistic results. Planning in secondary cases is obvi­ously more complex, especially those requiring composite reconstruction. ese are incredibly dicult cases that are oen an aggregate of a dicult primary fol­lowed by a failed secondary rhinoplasty. Frequently, septal support is absent or compromised, with perforations an all too common occurrence. Preoperative preparation and planning must be thorough. Itry to obtain the previous opera­tive reports. Isummarize the previous operations on a Gunter diagram, using a dieren in the operating room. CT scans can be invaluable for assessing the bony vault. A written step-by-step operative plan helps surgeons to determine the essential steps in advance.

Preoperative planning can include photographic analysis using angles and lengths, CT scans, and a review of previous operative reports.
OPERATIVE TECHNIQUE
Diced cartilage has revolutionized dorsal graing. e basic concept is to dice cartilage into small bits (less than . mm) that can be placed into a fascial sleeve that is slipped into the dorsal defect.
A gra will solidify within a matter of months and can be easily trimmed or re­moved in its entirety, shaped, and reinserted as necessary.
Fascial Harvest
e largest possible sheet of deep temporal fascia is harvested. Idraw a straight line directly up from the tragus and then mark a .cm transverse posteriorly oriented “.” incision whose apex touches the line. e incision is thus placed behind the anterior temporal vessels, and when retracted, the V shape provides
Part ree e Dorsum298
https://t.me/medicina_free
greater access than a straight line. e facial incision extends superiorly to the periosteal junction, anteriorly to the deep temporal fascial split, then inferiorly toward the concha, and posteriorly as far back as possible. e fascia is swept o the underlying muscle. A small vein is present at the  o’clock position. is can be preserved or cauterized. e wound is closed in layers and the staples re­moved week postoperatively. Extensive experience has been reported on the use of diced cartilage wrapped in cadaver fascia (Tutoplast; Davol Inc., Bard Inc., Warwick, RI), and some authors have reported on the use of acellular dermal matrix (AlloDerm; LifeCell, Branchburg, NJ).
Deep temporal fascia should be harvested in as large a piece as possible, oen measuring 5 to 6cm vertically by 6 to 8cm transversely. Fascia contracts dra­matically!
Dicing the Cartilage
Excised cartilage (dorsum, alar, septal, conchal, and rib) is diced into bits smaller than .mm. In general, the circulating nurse puts on sterile gloves and dices the cartilage into squares while the surgeon continues to operate. It is important to cut the cartilage with two No.  blades without traumatizing it (that is, without overmorselizing or crushing it). A  cc tuberculin syringe is lled with diced car­tilage. e plunger is inserted, and the cartilage is compressed maximally. Fluid and air can be removed by inserting a No.  needle through the opening and compressing the cartilage. e cartilage should be diced so ne that it moves through the hub of the syringe, thus passing the spurt test. Because the cartilage is so nely diced, the hub does not have to be cut o of the syringe with a No.  blade. If diced cartilage alone is used to build up the piriform area, then the car­tilage can be diced less ne ( to mm) and the hub removed.
e cartilage cannot be diced too ne. It is compressed until it is virtually a solid paste and can be passed through the hub of a tuberculin syringe.
Constructing the Fascial Sleeve
e dorsal defect is measured so that an exact DC-F construct can be made on the back table and inserted into the defect. e fascia is pinned on a Silastic block and folded into an  to  by  to mm sleeve. e cephalic end is sutured at its corners using two sutures of - plain on straight SC- needles. en the free

edge is trimmed and sutured closed with a locking suture of - plain catgut. is sleeve is similar to a double-layer dorsal fascia gra. Multiple methods are available for making the construct, but Iprefer to ll the sleeve with highly com­pressed diced cartilage as opposed to folding the fascia over a mound of loose, diced cartilage.
e fascial sleeve is made to measure to t the defect. e fascia is pinned to a Silastic block under slight tension and folded to a width of 8 to 10mm. e length is determined by the size of the dorsal defect.
Filling the Construct
Compression of the cartilage is conrmed, and the syringe is slipped into the open end of the sleeve. e diced cartilage is injected into the sleeve until the de­sired thickness is obtained. e critical step is to achieve very specic dimensions of thickness ( to mm), length ( to mm), and shape (tapered or uniform). e nondominant hand is used to mold the cartilage as it is slowly injected into the sleeve with the dominant hand. e length of the dorsal gra is trimmed to the exact length required. It is important to mold the gra to the exact dimen­sions and not overgra the nose.
e goal is to create a dorsal gra with ideal dimensions and contour. e vol­ume of cartilage will determine the height, whereas the curved, natural contour is achieved with the nondominant hand at the time of lling. e dorsum should
not be overgraed, because the gra will not be absorbed!
Inserting the Gra
e percutaneous sutures are inserted at the nasion level, and the shaped gra is slipped into the recipient bed. e gra is held at its cephalic end and molded from cephalic to caudal. If necessary, diced cartilage can be expressed out of the fascial sleeve. en the skin is redraped and the dorsal contour evaluated. e supratip area is checked to ensure that the gra has not widened. Ioen use suc­tion to remove cartilage from the open end of the gra. e gra is then closed and xed to the cartilage vault with a - plain catgut suture. In general, Iprefer to achieve the exact dimensions of the construct on the back table and minimize molding.

Time is taken to create the ideal-shaped construct while it is on the back table. Surgeons should not expect to make major changes by molding the gra once it is in the nose.
Ten Technical Tips to Minimize Problems
With Diced Cartilage Gras Wrapped in Fascia
1. in skin is a greater challenge than thick skin. If the skin is very thin (steroid damaged), then an overlay gra of fascia above the DC-F gra should be consid­ered.
2. e bony cartilaginous vault needs to be smooth and straight before insertion of the DC-F gra. Lateral wall asymmetry is corrected with appropriate osteotomies and spreader gras.
3. Some surgeons prefer to use a set of Silastic dorsal implant sizers to determine the approximate shape of the DC-F gra to be constructed.
4. e dorsal construct is designed to t the defect (length, width, and height) and is built on the back table. e cartilage must be diced extra ne so that it can be squirted out of a tuberculin syringe. e cartilage needs to be rigidly compressed in the syringe before it is placed in the fascial sleeve.
5. e shape is controlled at the time of ll. Will it be uniform, caudally tapered, or cephalically tapered? In a uniform gra, the ll is even from one end to the other. In tapered gras, pinching with the nondominant thumb and index nger controls the amount of cartilage and produces a gentle dorsal curve.
6. e cephalic end of the DC-F gra should not extend above the nasion. To create a nasofrontal angle, a separate radix gra is placed rst, followed by a DC-F gra along the dorsum.
7. e middle portion of the DC-F gra must not be overlled. Prior overresection of the dorsum is usually at the caudal end. e skin at the rhinion is thin, which can lead to visibility. ese gras are not resorbed—what the surgeon sees on the table is what the patient will see.
8. e caudal end should not be overlled, especially if molding of the gra in situ has forced the diced cartilage toward the open, caudal end. Suction is used to in­crementally remove excess diced cartilage, the end is tapered, and the construct is closed with a - plain suture.
9. If a small irregularity is present when the cast is removed on day , the dorsal gra is molded digitally and a new Denver splint is applied with its foam under pad. is is le in place for  to days. e process is repeated once more if necessary.
10. If a surgical revision is necessary year later, a closed approach is considered to treat minor irregularities (visible edges or volume reduction from the undersur­face of the gra). An open approach is reserved for major changes, which are usually associated with other requirements. DC-F gras are solid at a year, and the dissection plane between fascia and subcutaneous tissue is easily found if re­moval is necessary.

CASE ANALYSES
is -year-old girl presented for a cosmetic rhinoplasty. She thought that her nose was too wide and at and that her tip had no denition. On the anterior view, her nose looked at. Her dorsal aesthetic lines were progressively more divergent from radix to rhinion to tip. Her tip was mm wide. On the lateral view, her nose looked long with a dependent tip and a at dorsum. Her chin was retruded. Flatness of the bridge was evident on the oblique view. Her tip appeared droopy and her chin retruded. On hemibasal views, her tip was very amorphous and the nostrils had a reverse-teardrop appearance.

Because the patient wanted a more rened “model’s nose,” the goal was to narrow the dorsum and tip as much as her tissues allowed. Specically, the dorsum will be narrowed using paramedian osteotomies and a curved DC-F gra for slight augmentation. e patient agreed to a small chin implant.
Surgical Plan
1. Insert a small chin implant through a submental incision.
2. Harvest a sheet of deep temporal fascia.
3. Make initial bilateral infracartilaginous incisions for subcutaneous dissec­tion over the lobule.
4. Using an open approach through the transcolumellar incision, elevate the skin and defat tissue off the underlying cartilages.
5. Make a right transxion incision for septal exposure and harvest.
6. Reduce the le inferior turbinate using coblation plus outfracture of both inferior turbinates.
7. Narrow the dorsum from  to mm using paramedian and low-to-high os­teotomies.
8. Mark the midline.
9. Mark the desired width of mm at the bony-cartilaginous junction.

10. Cut the cartilage vault along a tapered line from the anterior septal angle to the junction.
11. Use a straight osteotome for paramedian cuts a maximum width of mm on either side.
12. Insert a columellar strut.
13. Shape the tip with the following sutures: columellar, domal creation, inter­domal, domal equalization, tip position, and lateral crural convexity.
14. Use a shield-shaped gra plus a small booster gra for additional tip deni­tion.
15. Insert a radix gra of fascia.
16. Construct and insert a uniform DC-F gra that measures  by  by .mm for dorsal augmentation.
17. Close all incisions and apply a cast.

One year postoperatively, the patient’s nose is narrower on anterior view, and her dorsum is more curved on oblique view. Her nose is shorter and the tip more rotated on lateral view. On the basal view, her tip is more triangular and less amorphous. A narrower, natural-appearing dorsum has been created using a DC-F gra.
