Would medial crura be an ideal implant/strut for projection and definition for the Asian nose?

Q: Would this be an ideal implant/strut for projection and definition for the Asian nose? There isn’t much literature on it. Also, could it be combined with a nasal spine implant, collumella strut? Or would it give the same results?

A: The medial crural attachment to the caudal septum is one of the 3 major tip support mechanisms.  The medial crura are often advanced on a columellar strut/septal extension graft in cases where additional projection is desired (i.e. Asian rhinoplasty).
