Keypoints
- The T-graft is a multifunctional graft, the graft determines nasal
length and nasal tip projection. Therefore, it simplifies the creation
of a well-balanced and aesthetical pleasing shape of the nose.
- The T-graft can have two functions; splinting- / septal batten graft
or septal extension graft.
- With the use of the T-graft there is no need for additional grafts to
increase nasal tip projection like a columellar strut graft, cap- or
shield graft.
- Compared to single grafts the T-graft is more stable and economic in
cartilage consumption.
- The T-graft is indicated in many anatomical features like in patients
with a short nose or heavy soft tissue envelope, but also in patients
with under projection of the nasal tip, under- or over-rotation of the
nasal tip and deviations of the caudal nasal septum.
