Preservation Push-Up Rhinoplasty with a Dorsal Preservation Graft: A Paradigm Shift in Aesthetic Augmentation Rhinoplasty.
Article in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Dorsal augmentation remains a cornerstone in aesthetic rhinoplasty, particularly among patients with flat or low nasal dorsum, short nose deformity, and wide dorsal bases, features commonly observed in ethnic populations such as those from Northeast India. Traditional onlay grafting techniques, including solid cartilage grafts and diced cartilage fascia (DCF), though widely used, are limited by issues such as postoperative warping, graft visibility, displacement, and prolonged healing periods requiring high patient compliance. While these techniques focus on augmentation, they often disrupt the native dorsal framework, compromising long-term stability and anatomical harmony. This paper introduces a novel graft design, the dorsal preservation graft (DPG), along with its indications and a refined surgical approach aimed at overcoming these limitations. The DPG is strategically positioned beneath the native dorsal framework using a high septal cut, allowing for controlled and stable augmentation while maintaining the integrity of the original nasal architecture. A stable support system is provided beneath the graft, along with secure, multi-point fixation that ensures proper stabilization. This foundational stability is the principle behind the long-term structural and aesthetic success of the technique. This technique enables targeted dorsal and radix elevation, preserves dorsal aesthetic lines, and allows correction of associated deformities like short nose and dorsal widening. By combining structural support with preservation principles, the DPG approach offers a reliable, customizable, and anatomically respectful alternative to traditional dorsal grafting.Level of Evidence IV This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
