Histologic Comparison of Ultrafine Diced Cartilage and Conventionally Diced Cartilage Wrapped in Fascia in a Rabbit Model
Ultrafine dicing of cartilage provides superior histological outcomes, with higher cell density and less fibrosis compared with conventional methods. This technique may offer plastic surgeons a more effective option for achieving stable, natural results in rhinoplasty, pending further human studies.
