비대칭 Asymmetry

We report a case of a 74-year-old female with left breast multicentric invasive ductal carcinoma status post left mastectomy with reconstruction and right breast symmetrizing reduction mammoplasty presenting with a new asymmetry of the righ…

The breast shape changes between reconstructed and native breasts in autologous reconstruction, which is important to achieve symmetry. This study was conducted to clarify chronological changes in the shape and nipple position of the recons…

Meige syndrome is a rare segmental dystonia characterized by blepharospasm and oromandibular dystonia, often leading to significant functional and aesthetic impairment. This report details a 59-year-old female patient with a 16-year history…

Secondary cleft lip nasal deformity presents a persistent challenge in reconstructive surgery, with fundamental differences existing between unilateral and bilateral presentations that dictate distinct management approaches. This systematic…

[PURPOSE] Radiation therapy following implant-based reconstruction (IBR) is known to contribute to increased complication rates and aesthetic challenges, particularly breast asymmetry, which often necessitates additional revision procedures…

[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…

[PURPOSE] This study evaluates the functional and aesthetic outcomes of Blepharoplasty for orbital fat bags in patients diagnosed with inactive thyroid eye disease (TED). [METHODS] A prospective observational study was conducted on 40 pati…

[BACKGROUND] To evaluate the anatomical rationale and clinical efficacy of septoaponeurotic junctional thickening (SAJT) fixation technique in Asian upper blepharoplasty. [METHODS] Retrospective analysis of 13,500 consecutive cases (12,150…

[BACKGROUND] Little is known about long-term esthetic outcomes after re-exploration for microvascular compromise in autologous breast reconstruction. We assessed long-term breast volume symmetry and introduced a symmetry-based "true salvage…

[BACKGROUND] Monitoring of adverse events for aesthetic BoNT-A (BoNT-A) through pharmacovigilance databases provides critical insight into real-world safety profiles. Previous analyses suggested substantial underreporting, yet comprehensive…

[BACKGROUND] Although the benefits of botulinum toxin last for 3-4 months, the durability has not been quantitatively evaluated. Recent studies have suggested that combining botulinum toxin injections with neuromuscular retraining can enhan…

We read with great interest the article by Zendejas et al., introducing a novel application of bioelectrical stimulation to induce mandibular bone growth in adults for aesthetic purposes. Their use of negative electrical polarity to achieve…

: Unilateral condylar hyperplasia is an idiopathic condition that causes facial asymmetry and occlusal problems. Currently, traditional treatment protocol is the combination of orthognathic and extra-oral condylectomy surgery via pre-auricu…

[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…

[OBJECTIVE] Colloid cysts of the third ventricle are rare, benign lesions that can lead to acute cerebrospinal fluid obstruction, rapid neurological deterioration, and sudden death. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical presentation, im…

[OBJECTIVES] Treatment of congenital facial paralysis is often postponed because patients exhibit only mild dysfunction and inconspicuous facial asymmetry at rest. Surgical facilitation of smiling has significant implications for the qualit…

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…

Juvenile giant fibroadenoma (GFA) is defined as a benign tumor larger than 5 cm, 500 grams, and/or involving at least 80% of the breast. It typically occurs in young patients and causes breast deformity and asymmetry. Surgical treatment inv…

The abnormal dilatation of the spermatic veins, or varicocele, affects 14%-20% of teenagers, a proportion similar to that of adults, which peaks in late adolescence (15-19 years old). It is more common in metropolitan and developed areas, p…

Radiotherapy is essential for achieving and maintaining local control in head and neck rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) patients. However, radiotherapy may cause outgrowth disturbances of facial bone and soft tissue, resulting in facial asymmetry. Th…
