Background : Alternative techniques for nasal dorsum augmentation are of paramount importance in reconstruc-tive and plastic surgery. In contrast to autologous cartilage grafts, tissue-engineered grafts can be created de novo and yield low–none donor site morbidity as compared to autologous grafts l...
