[BACKGROUND] Cleft lip and palate (CLP) represent one of the most prevalent congenital anomalies of the maxillofacial region, resulting in significant structural deformities that impact nasal function, facial aesthetics, and psychosocial we…

[BACKGROUND] Nostril overexposure is a common aesthetic concern among Asian populations, which significantly affects facial harmony. Traditional surgical interventions carry risks such as substantial trauma and visible scarring. This study …

[INTRODUCTION] Rhinomodeling is a minimally invasive aesthetic procedure that offers quick recovery and lower costs compared to surgical rhinoplasty. However, the use of non-absorbable tension threads can lead to late complications requirin…

Subcutaneous emphysema following nasal surgery is a rare yet potentially severe complication. This case report describes a 40-year-old woman who developed extensive subcutaneous emphysema involving the face, neck, mediastinum, and thorax af…

ObjectiveThis study evaluates nasal symmetry outcomes in patients with unilateral cleft lip (UCL) who underwent delayed rhinoplasty during iliac bone grafting (IBG), allowing concurrent bone grafting and cartilage harvesting to reduce donor…

[BACKGROUND] Transfeminine patients have anatomically male noses, although most surgeons perform rhinoplasties on female noses. [OBJECTIVES] This study reports on the outcomes of feminizing rhinoplasty in 102 transfeminine patients and the…

[BACKGROUND] The paramedian forehead flap (PMFF) has been well established for use in reconstruction limited to a single nasal outer layer defect and has recently gained recognition as an acceptable alternative to traditional methods of low…

Rhinoplasty is one of the most complex and challenging procedures in plastic surgery, even for experienced surgeons. Among the steps leading to an aesthetic and functional nose, there is the nasal tip improvement. Today's approach to nasal …

A normal alar-columellar relationship is crucial for lower third finesse in rhinoplasty. Hanging columella is a common complaint in the alar-columellar relationship and membranous septum excision is frequently recommended for its correction…

[OBJECTIVES] To compare longitudinal improvement in nasal obstruction quality-of-life outcomes between medial flap turbinoplasty (MFT) and inferior turbinate submucous resection (SMR) concurrently performed with functional septorhinoplasty.…

[BACKGROUND] Achieving symmetry in secondary cleft rhinoplasty is challenging even for the most skilled surgeon. The authors present their technique and outcomes of using a circumferential alar rim graft to relocate the cleft-sided anterior…

Nowadays, primary cleft lip repair is simultaneously performed with rhinoplasty. Postoperative stenosis and relapse of the nose are one of the major complications of this surgery. To tackle these issues, nasal stents can be placed following…

In this article, we describe a suturing technique for narrowing a wide or asymmetric columellar base. The study included 30 patients. The mean nostril measurements preoperatively were as follows: right nostril diameter 8.9 mm, left nostril …

A nasal tip defect can pose a reconstructive challenge, especially if the defect size overrides the availability of a local flap for coverage. We decreased the size of the nasal tip and lifted it to accommodate a local flap reconstruction o…

The submalar hiatus is a furrow located below the lower orbital arch; it is oblique downwards and outwards; it divides the cheek in two in some patients; it has been well individualized by artists since Antiquity, notably sculptors; some an…

Intermediate rhinoplasty, the correction of cleft lip nose deformities, is performed between the time of primary and secondary rhinoplasties, which is at ~6 years of age. Although intermediate rhinoplasty reduces psychological stress in sch…

[OBJECTIVES] To evaluate the impact of transfemale gender-affirming rhinoplasty on nasal appearance as evaluated by common facial analysis measures. [METHODS] Retrospective case series of patients undergoing gender-affirming nasal surgery …

[BACKGROUND] Unilateral cleft lip secondary nasal deformities are common and require surgical correction frequently. The nasal dome on the cleft side is depressed, and the nasal ala is in an extended and flattened position compared with the…

[BACKGROUND] Alar retraction is characterized by excessive nostril exposure and presents a significant challenge in rhinoplasty, particularly in cases of severe alar retraction. This study aimed to introduce a novel treatment approach for s…

Preservation rhinoplasty is a groundbreaking advancement increasingly embraced by surgeons worldwide, applicable to a diverse range of nasal anatomies, including the preservation of alar cartilages. Its growing popularity stems from the pri…
