Augmentation rhinoplasty using alloplastic materials is a relatively standard procedure in Asian patients. Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) is one of the commonly used alloplastic materials because it has a high biocompatibility and…

Rhinoplasty is frequently performed in Asian populations, with nonsurgical rhinoplasty using hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers becoming an increasingly popular alternative for patients seeking subtle corrections, those with contraindications to …

Augmentation rhinoplasty with silicone implants is frequently performed in Asian populations. Nasal trauma in individuals with prior silicone-based augmentation may result in concurrent nasal bone and implant fractures, complicating managem…

Silicone implants are commonly used alloplastic materials for rhinoplasty in Asia, as they are easy to manipulate, provide adequate volume augmentation, and exhibit excellent biocompatibility. However, they are associated with complications…

A septal extension graft is frequently applied in esthetic rhinoplasty in Asia. Autologous cartilage is usually selected for the graft material, and nasal septal cartilage is the most commonly used in septal extension grafts. Although the c…

The utilization of fillers, notably hyaluronic acid, has increased due to their proven effectiveness, versatility, and generally favorable safety profile. In the field of rhinoplasty, hyaluronic acid dermal fillers have been employed for th…

Rhinoplasty using threads has been popular for the benefits of being free from anesthesia, shortness of post-surgical recovery process, and surgery-related complications. Compared with its beneficial aspects, studies that evaluated thread r…

Rhinoplasty is one of the most commonly performed plastic surgical procedures. It has been reported that the overall incidence of complications is low, and hematoma is the most common complication. Recently, the authors experienced a young …

Alloplastic implants used for dorsal augmentations can induce surgical and cosmetic complications. One of these cosmetic complications is when the implant is visible through the skin. In these cases, it is recommended to use an autologous s…

Barbed thread rhinoplasty for nasal tip projection, dorsal length elongation, and nostril correction is usually performed at private clinics. The procedure is minimally invasive and does not cause permanent external scarring, which is a com…

Rhinoplasty via a closed approach is rarely performed due to provide limited exposure and inadequate operative field. Nevertheless, there are some cases in which closed approach is performed using L-shaped silicone implants. The authors rec…

[OBJECTIVE] Recently, many commercial one-piece alloplastic materials are used in nasal dorsum augmentation and increased nasal tip projection, but there is no study about their effects with regard to size on nasal shape so far. The aim of …

[BACKGROUND] Scars widen when the underlying musculature pulls apart suture lines, and scars oriented against relaxed skin tension lines are especially susceptible to these distraction forces. Because botulinum toxin A (BTA) induces complet…

Silicone implant is known to be safe and easy to handle, and frequently used in Asian rhinoplasty. Compared with breast implant, complication studies about silicone calcification used in rhinoplasty are very limited. Recently, the authors e…

Despite their popular use in breast augmentation and reconstruction surgeries, the limited biocompatibility of silicone implants can induce severe side effects, including capsular contracture - an excessive foreign body reaction that forms …

[UNLABELLED] Abstract Background: Scarless and minimally invasive surgery is becoming popular in the head and neck area. We have developed a new robotic selective neck dissection procedure for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) t…
