Abstract
The lateral crural strut graft is a new, versatile technique for reshaping, repositioning, or reconstructing the lateral crura. These grafts are strips of autogenous cartilage that are sutured to the deep surface of the lateral crura. Lateral crural struts are useful in the correction of the boxy nasal tip, malpositioned lateral crura, alar rim retraction, alar rim collapse, and concave lateral crura. We describe the surgical technique and demonstrate representative results of our experience with these grafts in 118 patients.
