    Area of Science:

    • Rhinoplasty and reconstructive surgery
    • Plastic surgery techniques
    • Cartilage grafting for nasal augmentation

    Background:

    • Onlay cartilage grafts have a long history in nasal tip reconstruction, dating back to 1895.
    • Recent years have seen a resurgence in interest and application of these techniques.
    • Nasal tip projection is a critical component of facial aesthetics.

    Observation:

    • The shield graft technique was employed in 43 cases over five years to address deficient nasal tip projection.
    • Patient follow-up focused on aesthetic improvement and complication assessment.
    • Comparative analysis with alternative projection-enhancing techniques was performed.

    Findings:

    • All 43 treated patients demonstrated satisfactory aesthetic improvement according to established criteria.
    • The shield graft technique resulted in few complications.
    • Outcomes were perceived as more natural and aesthetically pleasing compared to other methods.

    Implications:

    • The shield graft technique represents a reliable and effective method for nasal tip projection.
    • This approach offers a favorable alternative for patients seeking rhinoplasty for tip enhancement.
    • Further research may explore long-term outcomes and patient-reported satisfaction with this technique.
