[BACKGROUND] Smoking's impact on tissue perfusion and wound healing is particularly relevant in rhinoplasty, where precise tissue healing is crucial for functional and aesthetic outcomes. Although the nasal region's robust vascular supply m…

[BACKGROUND] Rhinoplasty and particularly tip refinement, is complex and prone to revision, especially in thin-skinned patients. To address these issues, the senior author developed a fascia-cartilage hybrid tip graft (FCHTG) combining crus…

[BACKGROUND] Traditional rhinoplasty tip grafts often lead to visibility issues, prompting patients to seek revision surgery. The mastoid fascia tissue graft (MFTG) provides a natural-appearing alternative with an acceptable risk of complic…

[BACKGROUND] Rhinoplasty is one of the most commonly performed facial operations in the United States, and many major and minor nasal tip support structures affect tip projection. Overprojection may result from anatomical factors or occur i…

[LEARNING OBJECTIVES] After studying this article, the participant should be able to: 1. identify and evaluate the anatomical landmarks of the nasal tip position using standardized assessment criteria. 2. Describe the anatomical structures …

[BACKGROUND] Refining the nasal dorsum to achieve a smooth and natural contour remains challenging, particularly in patients with thin skin who are prone to visible surface irregularities. Numerous techniques have been described to address …

[BACKGROUND] Fresh frozen costal cartilage (FFCC), from the Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation (MTF), has recently gained popularity for use in revision rhinoplasty or primary rhinoplasty when there is a paucity of autologous cartilage. …

[BACKGROUND] Rhinoplasty is made more challenging when there is insufficient septal cartilage for use as graft material. Several autologous and homologous graft options have been used in the past, although each comes with its own set of cha…

[LEARNING OBJECTIVES] After studying this article, the participant should be able to: 1. Understand the autologous graft options available to the rhinoplasty surgeon, including septal cartilage, auricular cartilage, costal cartilage, and bo…

Capsular contracture is a common adverse outcome following implant breast reconstruction, often associated with radiation treatment. The authors hypothesize that muscle fibrosis is the main contributor of breast reconstruction contracture a…

[BACKGROUND] Outcome studies of immediate implant-based breast reconstruction have focused largely on patient factors, whereas the relative impact of the surgeon as a contributing variable is not known. As the procedure requires collaborati…

[BACKGROUND] Cost-utility studies, common in medicine, are rare within plastic surgery despite their capability of measuring the value of procedures by considering the societal costs of improving quality of life. The objectives of this stud…
