[BACKGROUND] Facelift surgery offers aesthetic results that nonsurgical methods cannot achieve. As an elective procedure, facelift surgery requires patients to have a clear understanding of potential postoperative complications and appropri…

ObjectivesSkin quality plays a major role in aesthetics, particularly in determining the success of rhinoplasty. Efficient preoperative estimation of nasal skin thickness can improve postoperative results and patient satisfaction. This stud…

[BACKGROUND] Several studies have explored the use of septal extension grafts (SEGs). However, there is a lack of research specifically addressing the bilateral application of this technique. The present retrospective study presented the su…

Septo-/rhinoplasty, combining septoplasty and rhinoplasty, addresses both functional nasal impairments and aesthetic concerns. While immediate outcomes are well-studied, long-term impacts on quality of life (QoL) are less explored. Evaluati…

Septal extension graft (SEG) is an adaptable tool that controls, supports, and stabilizes the nasal tip projection, rotation, length, and shape. Recent studies comparing SEGs to more conventional columellar strut grafts found that SEGs prov…

[BACKGROUND] Patient satisfaction with rhinoplasty results is evaluated in a manner of subjective and qualitative values, and to a certain degree, it can indicate successful outcomes in rhinoplasty. [METHODS] The present study was a descri…

[BACKGROUND] Triamcinolone acetonide injections (TAIs) have been suggested to decrease complications following rhinoplasty. This systematic review aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of TAIs following rhinoplasty. [METHODS] We performe…

Rhinoplasty is one of the most commonly performed aesthetic surgeries. Saudi Arabia has a large number of rhinoplasty publications. Here, we aimed to assess the past, present, and future research output related to rhinoplasty in Saudi Arabi…

[BACKGROUND] Even though an increased number of patients indicate satisfaction with rhinoplasty outcomes, unexpected postoperative psychological reactions might occur. Postrhinoplasty depression is a type of adverse psychological response i…

[BACKGROUND] Alar base reduction (ABR) surgery is one of the rhinoplasty techniques used to reduce alar flaring, nasal base width, or both. It is crucial for rhinoplasty surgeons to understand and analyze the type of nasal base deformity to…

[OBJECTIVES] To investigate the indication, site, techniques, and complications at the donor and recipient sites of temporalis fascia grafting in rhinoplasty, and patients' satisfaction with the surgical outcomes. [METHODS] This retrospect…

[OBJECTIVES] We describe our novel modified spreader flap, which involves keeping the large cartilaginous septal T hump attached to the upper lateral cartilages to increase the thickness and length of the flap. Our objectives were to assess…

Background Open rhinoplasty, including the transcolumellar approach, is commonly performed as it has fewer side effects and provides superior anatomical control to the surgeons compared to closed rhinoplasty. However, the postoperative scar…
