Background: Aesthetic nasal dorsal reconstruction is associated with difficulty of long-term control of the graft contour and alignment. Fascia-wrapped cartilage has been shown to be histologically superior to Surgicel-wrapped cartilage. The aim of this study was to present a technique involving use of a diced-cartilage graft engulfed in a sleeve of pre-mastoid fascia for aesthetic nasal dorsal reconstruction. Methods: A retrospective review of 25 patients�?? medical charts was performed from April 2014 to September 2015. All patients had undergone nasal dorsal reconstruction using a diced-cartilage graft for various aesthetic indications. Results: The reconstruction technique described herein resulted in good surgical outcomes in all patients. One case of infection occurred, but no patients developed resorption. Conclusions: Use of diced cartilage with pre-mastoid fascia provides good clinical outcomes of dorsal nasal reconstruction, and avoids morbidity at other sites.
