Would septal cartilage be enough for bridge augmentation and tip projection?

Q: Would septal cartilage be enough for bridge augmentation and tip projection?

A: Septal cartilage alone is not enough to create dorsal augmentation and tip projection.  Tip projection in Asian rhinoplasty often requires several grafts:  extended columellar strut, lateral crural struts, and tip grafts.  Once those are fashioned from septal cartilage, there is typically very little remaining cartilage.
