ABSTRACT
The emphasis on tip plasty in Asian rhinoplasty has led to heightened concerns about complications regarding nasal tip skin. Although uncommon, these complications can cause tremendous frustration to surgeons when encountered. Conventional methods such as skin graft or healing by secondary intention cause an unpleasant scar. Instead, an extended dermofat graft in revision rhinoplasty enables both replacement of the dorsal implant and adequate coverage of the nasal tip without modifying the previous tip plasty. A patient who experienced nasal tip skin thinning after augmentation rhinoplasty was treated successfully with an extended dermofat graft. The authors believe that this is a solid method for managing patients with nasal tip skin complications.
