비대칭 Asymmetry

Genioplasty is a crucial component of facial feminization surgery since feminine chins are noticeably narrower, with a more rounded appearance than masculine chins. This is traditionally achieved with a central wedge excision and a two-piec…

ObjectiveTo evaluate bone development in patients with alveolar clefts and permanent dentition treated with alveolar bone graft supplemented with stromal vascular fraction (SVF).DesignClinical, prospective, randomized.LocationSingle tertiar…

[BACKGROUND] High-definition (HD) liposuction is widely favored by plastic surgeons and patients for its capacity to create athletic, sculpted body contours. However, traditional HD liposuction may not effectively enhance muscle volume, res…

[BACKGROUND] The opioid epidemic is a critical issue in the adult and pediatric populations. This study examined the change in perioperative and discharge prescribing of opioids in adolescent breast surgical patients at a tertiary pediatric…

The double-eyelid crease formation is primarily influenced by the attachment of the levator aponeurosis to the skin. The buried-suture method of double-eyelid blepharoplasty has gained popularity due to advantages like minimal scarring, fas…

[BACKGROUND] The techniques for roof modification in the context of preservation rhinoplasty focus on altering the nasal roof, which is composed of both bone and cartilage elements, without the necessity of excision while preserving its str…

[BACKGROUND] Intermediate cleft rhinoplasty (ICR) addresses nasal deformities in children with cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P), yet the influence of surgical planning and outcomes remains underdefined. This study evaluates decision-making an…

[AIMS AND BACKGROUND] This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of nasal tip support, tensioning mechanics, and suture-based techniques that refine projection, rotation, and stability in rhinoplasty. Modern approaches emphasize …

[BACKGROUND] Botulinum toxin injection is one of the most common esthetic procedures, yet complications may occur due to anatomical variability or suboptimal injection technique. This study aimed to evaluate the upper facial muscles using u…

Facial asymmetry significantly affects aesthetic appearance, essential functions such as mastication and speech, and psychological well-being. While traditional surgical interventions effectively address significant facial asymmetry, they a…

[BACKGROUND] Lower eyelid displacement is probably the most feared complication following lower blepharoplasty.In order to properly plan revision surgery, it is crucial to understand which lamella is involved in the retraction, since differ…

: Horizontal Gaze palsy with concurrent esotropia and substituted convergence is a rare clinical presentation. : We report a case of a 6-year-old child being treated for pontine medulloblastoma who presented with bilateral abducens and bila…

[BACKGROUND] Bruxism can cause masseter hypertrophy, discomfort, and facial asymmetry. Occlusal splints are widely used to manage pain and improve mandibular function, while botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) has gained interest for directly reducin…

[BACKGROUND] Three-dimensional (3D) skin displacement vector analysis method provides a deeper understanding of dynamic muscle anatomy. Understanding the dynamic muscle anatomy in the glabellar area during frowning can facilitate safer and …

[IMPORTANCE] Prominent ear deformities can negatively impact self-esteem and social well-being. Surgical otoplasty is effective but is associated with complications, longer recovery, and altered ear contours. [OBJECTIVE] To evaluate the ef…

We present a case of a 30-year-old female patient requiring correction of post-surgical synmastia after stepwise treatment of pectus excavatum (funnel chest) and breast asymmetry (right < left). The funnel chest was first corrected with a 3…

[BACKGROUND] The Columellar Auto-Strut Technique (CAST) is a refined modification of the Tongue-in-Groove (TIG) method, designed to provide stable nasal tip support while maintaining aesthetic flexibility. This study evaluates the clinical …

[INTRODUCTION] Dorsal cartilage preservation techniques have gained significant popularity among rhinoplasty surgeons recently, as they present natural dorsal aesthetic lines, and avoid dorsal reconstruction procedures for the cartilage dor…

[BACKGROUND] The increased demand for non-surgical rhinoplasty using hyaluronic acid (HA) has given impetus to explore more injection techniques and has also placed a higher demand on the coping of complications. [OBJECTIVES] The purpose o…

[BACKGROUND] Orthognathic surgery is a well-established method for correcting skeletal dentofacial deformities. Despite its widespread application, large-scale data describing deformity prevalence and the distribution of surgical approaches…
