The mestizo patient usually has a small nose with a wide base, round nostrils, and a convex dorsum. The alar cartilages are weak, thin, and short, providing deficient structural support and poor definition of the nasal tip. Cartilage grafts in the nasal tip are very often used to correct this condition, but a common problem of this procedure is the cephalic or lateral rotation of these grafts.
