Nasal tip shaping with a cartilage graft in first-time rhinoplasty
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial tests a surgical technique that uses your own nasal cartilage to improve the shape and position of your nasal tip. It's for people having their first rhinoplasty (nose job) for cosmetic or breathing reasons.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having a rhinoplasty for the first time.
- Your nasal tip needs better projection (how far it sticks out) or rotation (upward angle).
- You have not had any prior nose surgery.
- You have no major nose injuries that changed your cartilage.
- You are healthy enough for elective surgery and anesthesia.
- You do not have a condition like body dysmorphic disorder or serious mental health issues.

This study looks at how different ways of doing nose surgery and using your own cartilage grafts affect the skin and soft tissue on your nose. It may help surgeons choose the best approach for better healing and results.
This study tracks how patients feel and function after nose surgery that uses a piece of cartilage (septal extension graft) to reshape the nose. Researchers want to understand both the benefits and any complications to improve future care.
This trial studies a way to better control pain for people who need nasal surgery that uses rib cartilage. It may help reduce discomfort during the procedure and recovery.
This trial looks at how well an external septorhinoplasty (surgery to improve the nasal passage) works for people with long-term nasal blockage. It mainly involves filling out questionnaires so the researchers can analyze outcomes over time.
This trial compares two surgical techniques using cartilage grafts from the nasal septum to correct a droopy or deviated nasal tip. Patients seeking primary cosmetic rhinoplasty may benefit from this comparison.
This trial compares two types of grafts used in nose surgery to improve the shape of the nose tip. It aims to find which graft gives better results for adults who have not had nose surgery before.
