This graft is usually placed as part of closed and open technique nose tip plasty surgeries.

Generally, patients find this cartilage graft placed at the tip of the nose and a few months to get used to the feeling of hardness at the tip of the nose. This cartilage graft placement without using only the sling or various suture techniques using the tip of the nose after months of cold nose and nose can be released at the tip. It is not always necessary to use a columellar strut graft in patients with adequate nasal tip support (if you have a enough nasal tip support, you may notice that you cannot easily move the nose tip from front to back or top to bottom when you touch it.
