[BACKGROUND] Columellar defects, resulting from trauma or surgery, pose both functional and aesthetic challenges. This study evaluates the functional and aesthetic outcomes of columellar reconstruction using the philtral flap method in a ca…

[PURPOSE] Nasal breathing (NB) is a fundamental physiological process, and emerging research indicates its potential role in modulating resting metabolism, impacting energy expenditure and metabolic efficiency. This study investigates the i…

The authors propose a novel flap for rhinoplasty: the supratip cross flap (SCF). It is a simple and effective method for avoiding and correcting alar contour deformities and external nasal valve (ENV) issues in rhinoplasty without grafts. I…

Dorsal Preservation Rhinoplasty encompasses various techniques that share the common goal of achieving a straight and smooth dorsum without the need for middle-third reconstruction using flaps or grafts. The Spare Roof Technique, classified…

The objective of this study was to describe the surgeons who have incorporated dorsal preservation (DP) into their practice and their techniques. An anonymous form reviewed by the Evidence-Based Rhinoplasty Research Group board was shared o…

The authors propose a novel variation of the Spare Roof Technique for Preservation Rhinoplasty-"NOVA Spare Roof Technique." This modification involves a newly developed maneuver, the Sail Maneuver, which is a simple rhinoplasty technique fo…

Dorsal preservation rhinoplasty techniques can be surface or foundation techniques and respect the philosophy of preserving the osteocartilaginous nasal vault. A spare roof technique (SRT) aims to preserve the upper lateral cartilages throu…

Classical dorsal preservation rhinoplasty is typically done with impaction osteotomies (push/let down) and a low septal strip. These approaches are potentially highly destabilizing maneuvers in the architecture of the nasal pyramid. This is…

The Standardized Cosmesis and Health Nasal Outcomes Survey (SCHNOS) questionnaire is a tool developed to evaluate functional and aesthetic components of rhinoplasty. It is a reliable patient-reported outcome measure, not available in the Eu…

The "barn doors greenstick fracture" is a new concept that includes three contiguous greenstick fractures: one in the central compartment of the nasal dorsum (nasal bones) and two on the lateral walls of the bony nasal pyramid. The present …

[PURPOSE OF REVIEW] The philosophy of preservation rhinoplasty originated 100 years ago. Many variations have appeared in the last 10 years, with different opinions emerging in the literature and scientific meetings. [RECENT FINDINGS] New …

[BACKGROUND] Over the last 10 years, many new papers on innovative strategies from different surgeons worldwide have elevated the philosophy of preservation rhinoplasty (PR) to a different level: advanced preservation rhinoplasty. [OBJECTI…

[OBJECTIVES] To determine the effectiveness of botulinum toxin in a sample of patients diagnosed with greater occipital nerve neuralgia. [MATERIAL AND METHODS] Twenty-nine patients (28 females, 1 male) were treated for greater occipital ne…

Saddle nose deformity (SND) is a pathological entity resulting from loss of dorsal height caused by a substantial decrease in the cartilaginous vault or bony vault, and it can occur after a variety of nasal pathological conditions. Most sad…

[BACKGROUND] Most Caucasian aesthetic rhinoplasty patients complain about having a noticeable hump in profile view. Taking the integrity of the middle vault into consideration, there are 2 ways to dehump a nose: the structured technique and…

[BACKGROUND] Hump resection often requires reorganization of the keystone area. [OBJECTIVES] The authors sought to describe the importance of the point where the perpendicular plate of ethmoid joins the septal cartilage (SC) and the nasal …

[OBJECTIVE] To describe the average values of the nasal anthropometric measurements of Caucasian Mediterranean patients seeking rhinoplasty and evaluate the major nasal deformities. [DESIGN] Prospective, observational and cross-sectional s…

[OBJECTIVE] Assess the aesthetic and functional outcomes of the first 100 patients who underwent reduction rhinoplasty with the spare roof technique (SRT). [METHODS] Prospective, interventional, and longitudinal study performed on consecut…

One of the key points of a successful rhinoplasty is communication between the patient and surgeon. The surgeon needs to get a clear understanding of the patient's motivation for surgery and expectations of the procedure. This information i…
