[BACKGROUND] To achieve aesthetically pleasing results that are in harmony with the face, it is essential that the nose length is proportionate to facial proportions. Short and upturned noses can give the impression that the tip of the nose…

[OBJECTIVES] This study evaluated early postoperative systemic inflammation, periorbital ecchymosis, edema, and quality of life in patients undergoing rhinoplasty with conventional osteotomy, piezoelectric osteotomy, or no osteotomy. [METH…

[BACKGROUND] Cartilage grafts are essential in rhinoplasty, particularly in revision cases that require structural support. Fresh frozen cartilage allografts (FFCA) have been proposed as an alternative to autografts to avoid donor site morb…

[BACKGROUND] Caudal septal deviation poses a significant challenge in rhinoplasty, affecting both nasal airflow and aesthetic balance. While various techniques such as scoring, swinging door, and batten grafting have been used, many fail to…

Achieving durable nasal tip stabilization remains a central challenge in septorhinoplasty, particularly in patients with weak cartilage support or significant dorsal septal deviation. Conventional septal extension grafts and suspension-base…

[BACKGROUND] The septocolumellar strut (SCS) technique has been proposed as an additional support element to enhance tip stability when used alongside a traditional columellar strut in open rhinoplasty. Evidence on its early and long-term e…

[OBJECTIVES] This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of four-duct ligation following Botulinum toxin-A injections into the parotid and submandibular glands in pediatric patients with sialorrhea resistant to nonsurgical treatments. Prio…

[BACKGROUND] Ozone is often used as an additive therapy for skin conditions like infectious diseases, wound healing, diabetic foot, and pressure ulcers. The viability of the nasal skin has crucial importance in revision rhinoplasty cases. T…

[BACKGROUND] Adequate nasal tip support is crucial for achieving both aesthetic and functional outcomes in rhinoplasty. This study introduces a wide-based columellar strut graft (WB-columellar strut graft) as a new modification to provide e…

This study introduces the shield-like septal extension graft technique, a novel approach for enhancing tip support, rotation, and projection in revision rhinoplasty cases. The shield-like septal extension graft is positioned in front of the…

[INTRODUCTION] Dorsal augmentation enhances nasal dorsum height and contour. Existing techniques face challenges like resorption, infection, and migration. This study introduces Stratified Dorsal Augmentation, a multi-layered cartilage graf…

[OBJECTIVES] Establishing a stable nasal tip is crucial for both aesthetic and functional outcomes in rhinoplasty. This study aims to present a novel technique used during columellar strut graft placement to enhance tip projection and ensur…

[BACKGROUND] Adjusting the nasal tip rotation and tip projection according to the patient's face and wishes is a very important stage in rhinoplasty with the use of a cog graft positioning the tip point in the appropriate place is possible …

[OBJECTIVE] This study aims to demonstrate a new surgical technique that can be applied in patients with cephalic malposition and patients with alar retraction. [METHODS] In this technique, a cartilage incision is made between the upper 2/…

[OBJECTIVE] The aim of this study is to demonstrate use of Lateral Alar Caudal Graft to increase nasal tip definition in primary or revision rhinoplasty cases. [METHOD] Lateral Alar Caudal Graft was used in 24 patients who underwent open t…

[BACKGROUND] The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the intravenous, oral and local application of tranexamic acid in operation time, intraoperative bleeding, postoperative edema and ecchymosis in rhinoplasty. [METHODS]…

[BACKGROUND] In rhinoplasty, it is very important to adjust the rotation and projection of the tip together harmoniously with the nasal dorsum and face to achieve pleasing results. [OBJECTIVE] In this study, our aim is to describe a new mo…

[OBJECTIVE] The aim of this study is to demonstrate a novel surgical technique of total lower lateral cartilage reconstruction using costal cartilage grafts in multiple revision rhinoplasty cases. [METHOD] Total lower lateral cartilage rec…

[OBJECTIVE] The aim of our study is to reduce the complications of pain and chest wall deformity by modifying conventional costal cartilage graft harvesting. [METHOD] In this method while the superior part of the costal cartilage is remove…

[OBJECTIVE] The aim of this study is to demonstrate a novel surgical technique in the treatment of lower lateral crural protrusion and external nasal valve pinching. [METHOD] The lower lateral crural resection technique was used in 24 pati…

[BACKGROUND] There are numerous cartilaginous grafts that can be used in rhinoplasty, depending on the specific needs of the patient. These include spreader grafts, dorsal onlay, tip grafts, septal extension, and columellar struts grafts, a…

[BACKGROUND] It is crucial that the nose length must be compatible with the face in order to obtain beautiful results that suits the face. Shorter and upturned noses appear as if the tip of the nose is cut from the front and gives a piggy a…

[OBJECTIVE] The aim of this study is to propose a new approach in crooked nose deformity with key-stone plasty and asymmetric hump resection. [METHOD] Twelve patients with crooked nose deformities were operated using the open rhinoplasty t…

[OBJECTIVES:] The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of bilateral submandibular duct relocation and bilateral sublingual gland excision in combination with botulinum toxin A injection into the parotid glands in children with …

Nasal dorsal irregularity is a common postrhinoplasty complication in spite of meticulous smoothing. Utilization of the dermocartilaginous ligament in 2 different fashions for different purposes was described before. A novel utilization of …

[OBJECTIVE] This study makes an analysis of the effect of Botulinum toxin type A on otitis media with effusion in rats. [METHOD] As part of the study, 24 male Wistar Albino rats were divided into three groups: Group 1: Botulinum toxin Type…

The aim of this study was to measure the postoperative satisfaction of patients who underwent open technique septorhinoplasty (SRP) using Nasal Obstruction Symptoms Evaluation (NOSE), Rhinoplasty Outcomes Evaluation (ROE) and visual analog …

[BACKGROUND] Edema persists for months after rhinoplasty. Numerous modalities have been described to counteract postoperative edema. [OBJECTIVE] To evaluate the effect of postrhinoplasty taping (PRT) on nasal edema and nasal draping. [DES…

[AIM] Stiffness of the auricular cartilage is the main determining factor for the choice of operative technique of the prominent ear deformity. The aim of this study is to evaluate the stiffness of normal appearing ears objectively and quan…

[BACKGROUND] Because rhinoplastic surgery predominantly deals with the osseocartilaginous skeleton, droopy noses with thick skin remain a problem to be solved. In these noses, neglecting excess skin can impair long-lasting and complete corr…
