비대칭 Asymmetry

[BACKGROUND] Radio-frequency assisted liposuction (RFAL) is a minimally invasive procedure that harnesses the subcutaneous fat and fascia for thermal skin tightening and subcutaneous tissue remodeling. It has gradually become an ancillary p…

Blepharoptosis, characterized by drooping upper eyelids, affects vision and daily life. Traditional management includes observation, pharmacological treatments, and surgery, though not all cases necessitate surgical intervention. Pharmacolo…

Secondary unilateral cleft lip (UCL) rhinoplasty is challenging for plastic surgeons, and therefore there are still risks of complications and the need for revision. In this study, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis for pati…

[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…

Hyaluronic acid (HA) has emerged as a favored adjunct to restore volume after blepharoplasty and is very effective in the treatment of postoperative hollowness, sagging, and asymmetry. Its efficacy, rate of complications, and optimal inject…

[OBJECTIVES] The present study was aimed to assess three-dimensional (3D) quantitative changes of condyle in patients with Class III facial asymmetry after bimaxillary orthognathic surgery. [MATERIALS AND METHODS] Fifty-five eligible patie…

Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM), given demonstrated oncologic safety, is widely used for both therapeutic and prophylactic mastectomy. The popularity of NSM has spurred advancements by breast and plastic surgeons, liberalizing the indicatio…

Over the past 20 years, breast augmentation has become increasingly popular for enhancing breast size and correcting asymmetry. Saline implants were initially used, followed by silicone implants and autologous fat transfer. However, complic…

[BACKGROUND] Neoplasms in the head and neck often lead to peripheral facial paralysis (PFP), impacting facial expression and causing psychological distress. Standard treatments involve physiotherapy, but botulinum toxin type A (BTA) and hya…

[BACKGROUND] While unilateral breast reconstruction often requires contralateral breast symmetrization procedures, the optimal timing of the matching procedure remains unclear. While the delayed approach may be traditionally perceived as sa…

Juvenile fibroadenoma (JFA) represents a distinct subtype of fibroepithelial breast lesions that predominantly affect adolescents and young women. Unilateral JFAs are a rare condition in which surgical intervention focusing on oncoplastic r…

An understanding of the complexity of the surgical anatomy of the upper eyelid and the surrounding structures is mandatory when trying to minimize complications and achieve excellent cosmetic results during eyelid surgery. Postoperative upp…

A key component of a well-performed rhinoplasty is to obtain the proper, aesthetic shape of the nasal tip. Various surgical techniques have been developed to achieve this effect. In this work, the author wanted to focus not only on the sati…

[BACKGROUND] Restoration of a straight and adequately wide nasal dorsum is challenging in patients with deviated noses. Supporting a reformed septum with an extended spreader graft (ESG) is important for maintaining position. [OBJECTIVE] T…

[BACKGROUND] The increasing popularity of cosmetic procedures has led to a rise in both surgical and nonsurgical interventions. Rhinoplasty, particularly nonsurgical rhinoplasty using injectable fillers such as hyaluronic acid (HA), has bec…

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 …

Facial asymmetry is inherent from birth, and it becomes more pronounced with age due to changes in the facial skeleton at various rates and locations. As new insights into "multi-axes facial rotation" patterns emerge, there is a pressing ne…

[BACKGROUND] The thick skin and weak cartilages make tip rhinoplasty very challenging in Asian patients. Most require an open approach for structural grafting in order to achieve the desired projection and rotation. This need for substantia…

[INTRODUCTION] Facial symmetry is prized for its association with health, genetic quality, and attractiveness, but minor asymmetries are common. Human asymmetry tends to favor the left side and is noticeable in various nose parts. However, …
