Q: Would septal cartilage be enough for bridge augmentation and tip projection?
A: Septal cartilage alone is not enough to create dorsal augmentation and tip projection. Tip projection in Asian rhinoplasty often requires several grafts: extended columellar strut, lateral crural struts, and tip grafts. Once those are fashioned from septal cartilage, there is typically very little remaining cartilage.
