We describe our experience with multilayered costal cartilage grafting (MCG) for dorsal augmentation in Asian patients.

The aesthetic outcomes, which were determined by both anthropometric analysis and consensus decision, were compared. Patients’ satisfaction and postoperative complications were also analyzed. Dorsal height ratios and radix height ratios increased significantly by 14.0% and 19.4%, respectively, after the OCG technique (p
