Objectives: understand how to use the new material "e-PTEF coated" silicone implant in Asian rhinoplasty
Introduction: most rhinoplasty in Asian nose for cosmetic reason is low bridge height, the materials for dorsal augmentation could be autogenous, heterogenous tissue or alloplast.
Materials / method: using open method and following the structural rhinoplasty principle, we use cartilage graft for the nasal tip elongation and increase the projection. The dorsal height is increased with aesthetic improvement
