Augmentaion of the African American dorsum or bridge of the nose is not uncommon. The method I choose for augmentation includes using cartilage (from either the septum, ear, or rib) diced and wrapped with temporalis fascia. Temporalis fascia is obtained from the scalp through a very small incision located above the ear.
