[BACKGROUND] Rhinoplasty remains one of the most popular cosmetic procedures worldwide and continues to evolve alongside shifting perceptions of beauty and identity. However, there are certain anthropometric standards that have emerged as t…

[BACKGROUND] Although the Tajima overcorrection technique is used in primary rhinoplasty procedures at our institution, we have observed a recurring asymmetry problem in patients who undergo such procedures at around the age of approximatel…

[BACKGROUND] Objective assessment of nasal stents following primary cleft rhinoplasty is limited. Using three-dimensional (3D) photogrammetry, this 10-year study quantifies how postoperative nasal stents affect nasolabial morphology after u…

Large nasal defects that cannot be addressed with forehead flaps often require microsurgical free flap-based reconstructions. The temporoparietal fascial flap (TPFF) has been described for nasal reconstruction, but no reports have shown the…

The decision to undertake rhinoplasty maneuvers during cleft lip repair remains controversial. Little data compare long-term outcomes with and without primary rhinoplasty (PR). This study compared nasolabial outcomes in cohorts with unilate…

[BACKGROUND] To enhance nasal symmetry, septal cartilage can be used as an alar rim graft on the cleft side during primary rhinoplasty. Short-term results have been favorable, but the long-term results are unclear. The authors compare nasal…

This study aimed to compare the outcomes of different muscle reconstruction techniques with or without primary rhinoplasty (PR) in unilateral incomplete cleft lip repair patients. The study included 73 patients, with 36 patients undergoing …

The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in 24-hour Holter electrocardiography parameters in French Bulldogs with nostril stenosis and elongated soft palate before and after corrective surgeries. Nine French Bulldogs diagnosed with bra…

Definitive cleft rhinoplasty is performed at or near skeletal maturity to improve nasal breathing, symmetry, and shape, with surgeons performing a variety of techniques depending on patient goals. This study explores the relationship betwee…

[OBJECTIVES] In the present study, we investigated the efficacy of nasal tip grafts for nasal tip shaping and for evaluating rhinoplasty outcome evaluation (ROE). [METHODS] Patients who underwent open rhinoplasty and received various graft…

[BACKGROUND] Bulbous nasal tip surgery due to lateral-crural pseudo-malposition in medium-to-thick skin with weak cartilage is often challenging. Suture-only maneuvers may not reliably maintain the lateral-crural resting angle in such anato…

[BACKGROUND] Nasal base depression is a frequent aesthetic concern in rhinoplasty, particularly in patients with midfacial retrusion. This study introduces a fascia transplantation technique to correct alar base (paranasal) depression and r…

[BACKGROUND] Asymmetry of the bilateral nostrils is one of the most common deformities associated with secondary unilateral cleft lip nasal deformity. In this study, we introduce a novel concept of the "nostril ring" and propose a series of…

[BACKGROUND] Alar base reduction in rhinoplasty is technically demanding, especially across diverse ethnic anatomies. Traditional ruler-based measurements often fail to accommodate intraoperative variations. [OBJECTIVE] To assess the outco…

[PURPOSE] Alar cartilage anatomy varies significantly across ethnic groups, and understanding these differences is crucial in nasal tip surgery. The aim of this descriptive study was to evaluate the anthropometric properties of the alar car…

[OBJECTIVE] Nasal tip hypertrophy is common in Asians, and surgical refinement usually relies on tip grafts or structural implants. For patients who refuse any implant and whose bulbous tip is mainly caused by excessive soft tissue rather t…

[BACKGROUND] Insufficient narrowing often occurs after alar base reduction due to inadequate tissue resection. This study quantitatively analyzes the relationship between excised tissue amount and postoperative narrowing in combined sill an…

[BACKGROUND] Botulinum toxin type A is a potent neurotoxin and was first approved for use in 1989; since there has been a surge in its uses. The latest international trend is the unapproved use of botulinum toxin for allergic and nonallergi…

In nasal tip surgery, achieving both functional and aesthetic results is crucial. Several complications, such as alar retraction or weakening of the internal nasal valve (INV), are associated with the "classical" cephalic trim. To prevent c…

The footplates of the medial crura are relevant structures that play an important role in the columella and nostril sill design. They also work as a connection between the nasal and oral muscles, as the insertion of the superficial orbicula…
