Abstract
We feel that the use of an angulated extended columellar graft is highly polyfunctional, providing length, definition and support to nasal tip grafts. Because of the graft design, it is possible to predetermine the new columella length/tip, thus visualizing the columella and nasal tip vectors of the nasal profile. The angulated extension prevents cephalic-lateral-caudal displacements of the tip graft, and to some degree it is possible to increase or decrease nasal length depending on the angularity of the extension.
