Temporoparietal free fascia grafts in rhinoplasty

The temporoparietal fascial graft provides adequate coverage, contour, and bulk on the cartilage dorsum of the nose, as well as an inconspicuous donor site. In my opinion, this technique not only prevents the occurrence of noticeable sharp edges of the cartilage graft, but also adds to the smooth contour of the reconstructed nasal dorsum. The improved results either in primary and secondary rhinoplasty would seem to justify this technique. Some variations in fascia grafts are presented with clinical examples.
