Classic Joseph hump reduction techniques have been a hallmark of current rhinoplasty practice and teaching. Recently, there has been a renewed global interest in preservation rhinoplasty techniques, although these techniques are not new. Th…

Septal extension grafts (SEGs) are used widely in rhinoplasty as a means of controlling tip position. Grafts positioned in a side-to-side configuration may cause nasal airway obstruction. Retrospective cohort analysis of patients undergoin…

[BACKGROUND] It would be useful if existing tools or outcomes measures could predict which patients are at greater risk of revision surgery following rhinoplasty. [OBJECTIVES] The authors sought to determine if a single question assessing …

[OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS] To evaluate the lateral nasal wall stability, nasal function, and cosmesis when creating an aesthetically pleasing nasal tip subunit utilizing lateral crus (LC) altering procedures. [STUDY DESIGN] Retrospective coho…

[BACKGROUND] Although prior studies have identified a low risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in rhinoplasty, these studies are limited by small samples and associated risk factors remain unknown. [OBJECTIVES] The aim of this study was to…

In Rhinoplasty, understanding patient expectations are pivotal in achieving an optimal surgical outcome. To understand preoperative expectations and postoperative satisfaction in patients undergoing rhinoplasty for functional, aesthetic, o…

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, and the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery commissioned the multidisciplinary Rhinoplasty Performance Measure…

[BACKGROUND] Psychiatric comorbidity is associated with greater 30-day postoperative complication rates in various surgical specialties, but is not well characterized for reconstructive plastic surgery. [OBJECTIVES] The aim of this study w…

Reconstructive procedures in the head and neck can be a surgical challenge owing to the complex anatomical and physiological structure. Different locoregional and microvascular flaps are used for various defects to improve both function and…

[BACKGROUND] Cosmetic rhinoplasty has been linked to iatrogenic breathing disturbances using clinical tools. However, few studies have evaluated outcomes using validated, patient-centered instruments. [OBJECTIVE] We aim to determine the in…

Although conventional hump resections are a hallmark of rhinoplasty, there has been a rekindled interest in dorsal preservation (DP) techniques as a means for addressing the dorsal hump, with claims of superior functional and aesthetic resu…

Facial plastic surgeons must understand nasal aesthetics in the context of race, ethnicity, and culture. The lack of aesthetic norms and ideal standards in non-Caucasian patients and the variation in nasal anatomy and morphology among races…

[BACKGROUND] This study evaluates the impact of different hump takedown techniques, namely the conventional hump resection with midvault reconstruction, the push-down (PD) and the let-down (LD) procedures, on the INV dimensions. [METHODS] …

[OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS] To describe a novel technique for tip plasty and determine its efficacy using validated patient-reported outcome measures and objective measures. [STUDY DESIGN] Retrospective cohort study. [METHODS] This study was …

[OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS] Deviations of the caudal nasal septum can impact airflow and aesthetics. The anterior septal reconstruction (ASR) technique, a modification of extracorporeal septoplasty, addresses this issue while preserving a segme…

[BACKGROUND] Identifying mental health disorders, including body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), is important prior to rhinoplasty surgery; however, these disorders are underdiagnosed, and screening tools are underutilized in clinical settings. …

[IMPORTANCE] Although antibiotic prophylaxis following rhinoplasty is widespread, the evidence on antibiotic prophylaxis effectiveness and the superiority of particular administration regimens is controversial. To date, a meta-analysis on t…

The objective of this article was to compare the effect of such sociodemographic factors as gender, age, marital status, employment status, race, and income on short- and long-term rhinoplasty outcomes using a validated disease-specific ins…

[BACKGROUND] The Standardized Cosmesis and Health Nasal Outcomes Survey (SCHNOS) is a validated questionnaire that assesses functional and aesthetic outcomes of rhinoplasty patients. There are 274 million French speakers worldwide, and this…

[BACKGROUND] The Standardized Cosmesis and Health Nasal Outcomes Survey (SCHNOS) questionnaire is a new instrument that was developed to evaluate both functional and cosmetic components of rhinoplasty. It is a reliable, consistent, and vali…
