[AIM AND BACKGROUND] Asian rhinoplasty presents unique challenges due to distinct anatomical features, including a low nasal dorsum, weak cartilaginous framework, and thick soft tissue envelope. This article examines contemporary surgical a…

[OBJECTIVE] Managing benign tumours of the external nose involves balancing optimal excision with the preservation of nasal function and aesthetics. This study aims to identify histologic diagnoses, surgical strategies and post-operative ou…

[BACKGROUND] The thick skin and weak cartilages make tip rhinoplasty very challenging in Asian patients. Most require an open approach for structural grafting in order to achieve the desired projection and rotation. This need for substantia…

[OBJECTIVE] Nasal septal perforation (NSP) repair is challenging surgery considered in patients with symptomatic NSP intractable to conservative treatments. This study aimed to assess the success rate and identify factors affecting the surg…

[OBJECTIVES] This study aimed to evaluate the sequential postoperative changes in tip aesthetics, by evaluating the aesthetic performance of the septal extension graft with or without tip grafting. [METHODS] A total of 62 patients who unde…

The optimal timing of rhinoplasty for patients with nasal bone fractures remains controversial. We investigated whether the timing of rhinoplasty after nasal trauma affects the aesthetic outcome of the procedure. A total of 41 adult patient…

Reprojecting the severely damaged nose is a challenging operation fraught with pitfalls. This panel discussion covers 6 fundamental questions answered by 3 surgeons, each with decades of experience. Discussion points include management of t…

[BACKGROUND] Complicated silicone nose is a common clinical problem. Selection of replacement material for revision dorsal augmentation is a challenging task. [OBJECTIVES] The authors presented their experience in the use of molded glued d…

Open rhinoseptoplasty has been widely performed in the field of otorhinolaryngology. However, from the perspective of beginners, rhinoseptoplasty is a hard-to-learn surgery that involves a relatively steep learning curve. Therefore, practic…

[BACKGROUND] Costal cartilage is commonly employed as a dorsal implant in Asian rhinoplasty. To achieve better outcomes, it is important to know which types of costal cartilage are most appropriate for dorsal augmentation. [OBJECTIVES] The…

[BACKGROUND] This study evaluated the incidence and clinical characteristics of postoperative infection following rhinoplasty. [METHODS] This article is a retrospective review of 2630 East Asian rhinoplasty cases performed by a single surg…

[BACKGROUND] In dorsal augmentation, costal cartilage can be used in a number of different ways: monobloc, fascia wrapped, or glued diced cartilage grafting (GDCG). The authors developed a mold to make the use of GDCG more convenient. This …

To achieve an esthetically satisfying surgical outcome in rhinoplasty of East Asians, it is most important to emphasize the augmentation of the flattened nose. However, correction of the accompanying nasal deviation or hump reduction togeth…

[RATIONALE] Negative pressure pulmonary edema (NPPE) is associated with serious postoperative complications. Compact nasal packing is always done after an open rhinoplasty procedure which makes it difficult to achieve positive pressure vent…

[OBJECTIVE]  Reconstruction of a weakened septal cartilage is a key procedure for the correction of deformed noses. However, when septal mucoperichondrium dissection is technically challenging, reconstruction of the lower two-thirds of the …

[OBJECTIVE/HYPOTHESIS] For dorsal augmentation in rhinoplasty, autologous costal cartilage can be used in many different forms, including its crushed form. While only few studies have reported the outcome of dorsal augmentation using the cr…

[OBJECTIVES] When performing cosmetic rhinoplasty with alloplastic materials, complications such as implant visualization, inflammation, dislocation, and extrusion should be thoroughly evaluated. Although computed tomography (CT) can provid…

Typical Asian deformed nose has many different types: concave nasal dorsum, low nasal dorsum, wide nasal dorsum, deviated nose, convex nasal dorsum, saddle nose, short-nose deformity, and deformities involving irreversible damage of skin/so…

[BACKGROUND] Frequently, a tilted alar base characterized by a discrepant level of the nostril sill and alar insertion on both sides is encountered in patients seeking rhinoplasty. Herein, we report our surgical technique and outcome of ala…

[OBJECTIVES] Although the routine use of computed tomography (CT) is controversial, it is employed in the preoperative screening of patients undergoing septoplasty or septorhinoplasty. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence and…

Dorsal augmentation and tip surgery are essential procedures for East Asians seeking rhinoplasty, because they generally have thicker skin and poorly developed nasal dorsum and tip. For dorsal augmentation, many Asian surgeons prefer using …

[OBJECTIVE] The deviated nose presents a tremendous challenge for rhinoplasty surgeons, especially the correction of the cartilaginous dorsum deviation. In this study, we introduce the surgical techniques of correcting a deviated cartilagin…

Intraoperative videography is widely used to record rhinoplasty procedures, yet little is known about the optimal surgical vantage points at critical procedural steps. To assess commonly used camera angles in public and proprietary intraop…

Although not as prevalent as in Caucasian rhinoplasty, correction of a hump nose also poses a significant problem for East Asian rhinoplasty. The hump noses in East Asians can be classified as generalized humps, isolated humps, and relative…

[PURPOSE OF REVIEW] Costal cartilage has many advantages over other grafting materials because of its large quantity and high biocompatibility. As a result, it has been considered as a good option for Asian rhinoplasty. However, costal cart…

Nasal profile line has central importance in forming an aesthetically balanced facial profile. Thus, rhinoplasty is a critically necessary surgery in shaping ideal profile line. For successful rhinoplasty, meticulous preoperative evaluation…

[BACKGROUND] Correction of caudal septal deviation is a challenging task that may require multiple surgical approaches. [OBJECTIVE] To introduce a novel technique - caudal septal division and interposition batten graft - and evaluate its s…
