The nasal septal cartilage plays an important role in preventing the collapse of the nasal bones and maintaining the appearance of the nose. In the context of inherent difficulties regarding septal cartilage repair and the shortage of carti…

[BACKGROUND] Using M-shaped cartilage grafts is a new method for the correction of short nose deformity with good effect for Asians. Although the basic approach to M-shaped cartilage surgery is well understood, there is a great deal of unce…

[BACKGROUND] A crooked nose is an external nose deformity predominantly caused by congenital aplasia or acquired secondary to trauma or surgery, often accompanied by a deviated nasal septum. Patients with crooked nose have dual needs to imp…

Organoids are 3D structures generated from stem cells. Their functions and physiological characteristics are similar to those of normal organs. They are used in disease mechanism research, new drug development, organ transplantation and oth…

In the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery, the loss of organs or tissues caused by diseases or injuries has resulted in challenges, such as donor shortage and immunosuppression. In recent years, with the development of regenerative…

Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 2 (RAC2) is a GTPase exclusively expressed in hematopoietic cells that acts as a pivotal regulator of several aspects of cell behavior via various cellular processes. RAC2 undergoes a tightly regulat…

Once cartilage is damaged, its self-repair capacity is very limited. The strategy of tissue engineering has brought a new idea for repairing cartilage defect and cartilage regeneration. In particular, nasal cartilage regeneration is a chall…

This study describes a surgical technique for secondary unilateral cleft rhinoplasty using autologous costal cartilage grafts. The grafts were designed preoperatively and analysed three-dimensionally in 15 Asian patients using a photogramme…

[BACKGROUND] The debate on thread rhinoplasty (TR) has never stopped owing to its complications. However, few studies have reported the clinical characteristics of TR complications, as well as their treatment. [AIMS] We aim to summarize th…

[BACKGROUND] In the rhinoplasty of Asian short nose deformity, the surgeon cuts a portion of septal cartilage and retains the nasal septum L-strut, but a deviated nasal septum is formed after the surgery under forces of soft tissue contract…

[BACKGROUND] As a contour-supporting material, the cartilage has a significant application value in plastic surgery. Since the development of hydrogel scaffolds with sufficient biomechanical strength and high biocompatibility, cell-laden hy…

Botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT/A) induces muscle atrophy by cleaving synaptosomal-associated protein 25. Thus, BoNT/A has been actively utilized for the treatment of masseter and gastrocnemius hypertrophy. In this study, INI101 toxin was…

[OBJECTIVES] Asymmetry in a retrusive cleft-side ala situated posterior, lateral, and/or inferior to the non-cleft ala is aggravated by ipsilateral defect of the pyriform aperture. This study assessed diced costal cartilage graft combined w…

As fueled by the booming of China's plastic surgery industry, the demand for prominent plastic surgeons has been growing. Accordingly, a better and more standard training system of plastic surgery specialists should be urgently implemented …

[BACKGROUND] The traditional approach of harvesting costal cartilage through a chest wall incision can result in significant donor-site morbidity and usually causes notable scars in Asian patients. This has become the main concern for Asian…

[BACKGROUND] Volume restoration is no more a fresh theory for midfacial rejuvenation. However, lack of knowledge regarding the natural ageing process of fat compartments often leads to an insufficient or excessive clinical result. The aim o…

In recent years, the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid (PPE) has emerged as a new autogenous grafting material in rhinoplasty and septoplasty of nasal deviation. However, no studies have outlined the precise size, shape, and morphologic fe…

East Asian rhinoplasty is an expanding topic in the field of rhinoplasty. Although the main principles of various rhinoplasty techniques apply equally to the East Asian nose, East Asian rhinoplasty is unique owing to its different anatomy a…

[BACKGROUND] Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided vacuum-assisted biopsy is the technique of choice for lesions that are visible only with breast MRI. The purpose of this study was to report our clinical experience with MRI-guided vacuum…
