[BACKGROUND] Controversy exists regarding the timing of rhinoplasty for patients with cleft lip as some surgeons shy away from primary correction for fear of causing harm to the growth of the nose and the maxilla. We present our favorable e…

This paper examines the relationship between roll rotation of the jaws and changes in alar base or lip line asymmetry in the coronal plane following orthognathic correction. The study involved patients with preoperative frontal alar base an…

[BACKGROUND] The evolution of lower blepharoplasty has shifted from simply removing of orbital septum fat to smoothing of the lid-cheek junction through fat repositioning. This paper adopts a novel technique to transpose and stabilize intra…

[BACKGROUND] Tip refinement procedures are still controversial in secondary unilateral cleft rhinoplasty. The aim of this study was to assess whether the septal extension graft improved nasal and tip deformity and achieved a normal profile …

Soft tissue triangle notching represents a complex challenge in rhinoplasty. To prevent this esthetic complication, various techniques have been developed. When soft tissue triangle notching occurs, both surgical procedures and nonsurgical …

The airway must not be ignored in cosmetic rhinoplasty operations, and it is important to address the 4 areas that restrict airflow namely the septum, the turbinates, the mid-vault, and the external nasal valve. Numerous techniques exist th…

Stabilizing the nasal base is important before working on the nasal tip lobule. This will help define the nasolabial angle, the alar columellar relationship and nasal tip projection and rotation. Columellar struts and septal extension graft…

Rhytidectomy has made great progress in the past 50 years, especially after the proposition of the concept of superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS). Our previous research had classified SMAS rhytidectomy into basic SMAS rhytidectomy …

[OBJECTIVE] Primary nasal correction has been demonstrated to be a beneficial practice for patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate. However, there is currently no consensus among cleft surgeons regarding the ideal approach to addressi…

[BACKGROUND] Alar base is the basal part where the two sides of the nose and the upper lip are connected. Alar base depression affects the overall facial contour by making the nasolabial folds deepen, the nasolabial angle smaller, the cente…

This paper presents the findings of an observational study involving 38 patients to evaluate the application of a surgical technique utilizing an autologous costal cartilage scaffold for correcting nasal tip and alar asymmetry in unilateral…

[BACKGROUND] The authors investigated postoperative nasal morphologic changes in patients undergoing secondary correction of cleft-lip nose with septal repositioning and alar cartilage suspension during preschool age. [METHODS] The authors…

[OBJECTIVE] The thickness of the nasal soft tissue envelope (STE) plays a crucial role in the final rhinoplasty results. The Asian nasal contour is typically characterized by a thicker STE and broader nasal tip, but objective data are lacki…

[OBJECTIVE] Alar asymmetry in unilateral cleft lip (UCL) nasal deformity is a well-recognized clinical feature. However, there is a lack of comprehensive quantitative analysis of this asymmetry. This study compares the shape, volume, and ax…

[OBJECTIVE] The purpose of this study is to assess cleft rhinoplasty terminology across phases of growth. [DESIGN/SETTING] A systematic review was performed on cleft rhinoplasty publications over 20 years. [INTERVENTIONS] Studies were cat…

[BACKGROUND] This study introduces and assesses the outcomes of a novel rhinoplasty technique, TRICK-TIP (Transcolumellar and Inter Cartilaginous Keystoning with Tip preservation), employing a combined open and closed approach with tip anat…

Nasal valve dysfunction can substantially impact nasal airflow and overall quality of life. This review provides a comprehensive examination of nasal valve dysfunction, including its mechanisms, classification, and surgical management. The …

[BACKGROUND] There is a paucity of research on nonsurgical rhinoplasty in the population of African descent. In this group, underlying anatomy and aesthetic ideals vary, necessitating differences in the consultation process and in treatment…

[BACKGROUND] Rhinoplasty in patients with previous unilateral cleft lip repair is a surgical challenge due to complex nasal deformities, including a horizontally positioned nasal wing, wide cleft side nostrils, nasal base defects, and a sho…

Alar contour grafts are an excellent adjunct in both primary and revision rhinoplasty for correction and prevention of alar rim irregularities. They are traditionally placed at the conclusion of a rhinoplasty through a vestibular incision a…
