Join Rhinoplasty Specialist Dr. Paul Nassif, a world-renowned expert in revision rhinoplasty, in the operating room as he performs a Columella Strut Placement. His practice, Spalding Drive Cosmetic Surgery & Dermatology, is located in Beverly Hills, CA.

The columella is the central portion of the nostril that is composed of soft tissue overlying the cartilage structures known as the medial crura.

A cartilage graft typically composed of harvested septal cartilage ensconced between the medial crura of the columella used to maintain nasal tip support necessary following rhinoplasty.
