Abstrakt: The aim of this article is to define a tip graft that provides camouflage for a smoothly contoured, natural-looking tip and that prevents long-term graft visibility. When traditional grafts are used to substantially increase tip projection, there is a possibility for thinning of the skin and subsequent graft visibility. To avoid such unwanted results, the authors have developed a novel graft: the camouflaging alar tip (CAT) graft. In this study, the authors provide a retrospective analysis of the long-term follow-up of 742 patients from 2003 to 2013 in whom a CAT graft was placed. This article is a synopsis of the authors' 10 years experience in nasal tip surgery.
