비대칭 Asymmetry

This study aimed to analyse the spectrum of unsatisfactory outcomes requiring secondary surgery, the technical challenges involved, and the results achieved in a cohort of patients undergoing reoperative orthognathic surgery. A retrospectiv…

[BACKGROUND] Comprehensive facial analysis among transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) individuals undergoing facial feminization surgery (FFS) has created new opportunities to investigate facial asymmetry in adults. Although craniofacial mi…

[BACKGROUND] Facial asymmetry is often overlooked in evaluations of nasal function and aesthetics, despite its potential impact on assessments in facial plastic surgery. [OBJECTIVE] This study aims to utilize AI tools to identify facial as…

: Mentoplasty plays a central role in facial harmony, particularly in the correction of chin asymmetries. Advances in digital planning and three-dimensional (3D) printing have enabled the development of patient-specific surgical guides; how…

[BACKGROUND] Revision breast reconstruction is often necessary to address complications, reduce asymmetry, or improve the aesthetic result. Our previously described use of poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB) has shown promise in primary reconstru…

Refinements in autologous breast reconstruction (ABR) enable personalized approaches to align with patient preferences. The deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap remains the primary choice due to its volume adequacy, but alternati…

[BACKGROUND] Otoplasty is a commonly performed cosmetic ear procedure, yet patient-reported outcome data remain limited. This study analyzes otoplasty reviews on RealSelf, a widely used aesthetic review platform that provides insight into p…

[BACKGROUND] The aesthetic outcome of abdominoplasty is largely defined by the appearance of the umbilicus. Existing neoumbilicoplasty techniques may result in suboptimal contour, asymmetry, or visible scarring. This study presents a novel …

[BACKGROUND] Classification theories for gynecomastia often conflate breast ptosis degree with subcutaneous soft tissue composition, leading to further confusion in determining appropriate surgical regions and techniques. To address this, w…

[BACKGROUND] The breast meridian is a central axis in breast surgery design, essential for procedures such as breast reduction and mastopexy. Traditional methods of marking the breast meridian rely on subjective surgeon perspectives, often …

[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] Craniomaxillofacial trauma is a common occurrence in adults, often resulting from vehicle accidents, assaults, sports injuries, working accidents, and others. The primary goal of craniomaxillofacial trauma surgery is to restore…

[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…

[BACKGROUND AND AIMS] This prospective study aimed to assess the functional and aesthetic outcomes of upper eyelid blepharoplasty in patients with dermatochalasis using a validated artificial intelligence (AI)–assisted morphometric analysis…

[BACKGROUND] Gynecomastia can have significant psychosocial impacts. Ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL) combined with glandular excision has emerged as a preferred technique for contour correction with minimal scarring. This study evalua…

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has traditionally followed diagnosis-driven, nucleus-centered targeting paradigms. Increasing evidence supports a circuit-based framework in which clinical outcomes depend on modulation of symptom-relevant netwo…

Gross breast asymmetry, characterized by significant differences in size or shape between breasts, poses both psychological and surgical challenges. Achieving optimal symmetry requires a tailored approach that balances patient preferences w…

Patients with chin deficiency secondary to dentofacial deformity often present with aesthetic and functional complaints. Treatment of such deficiencies with conventional genioplasty may be limited when broader modification of the mandibular…

[BACKGROUND] Crooked nose deformities remain a surgical challenge due to complex asymmetries of bony and cartilaginous structures. The "Hybrid Technique" combines preservation and structural rhinoplasty principles to improve correction whil…

[BACKGROUND] Breast augmentation remains one of the most commonly performed cosmetic surgical procedures worldwide to achieve a youthful and beautiful breast appearance. We describe a technique that preserves glandular tissue and muscle-gla…
