Abstract: | The surgically shortened nose is an infrequent but distressing problem that is difficult to repair. This article describes a simple technique to lengthen the nasal profile with a triple-stacked tip graft placed caudal to the medial crura. Fifteen patients have been operated on, and most were undergoing face lifts. The skin inelasticity in older patients allows easy skin redraping over the larger tip volume. |
