[BACKGROUND] Lower lateral cartilage reshaping is one of the basic steps in rhinoplasty. Hemitransdomal suture is frequently used for dome narrowing. Different suture materials can be used for hemitransdomal suture. In this study, we invest…

[SUMMARY] Adequate nasal tip projection remains a challenge in aesthetic rhinoplasty for East Asians. Various surgical techniques have been developed to reshape the nasal tip using auricular cartilage. In this article, we introduce the new …

[AIM] Due to the diversity and complexity of tissues involved in secondary nasal deformities following unilateral cleft lip, secondary nasal deformity correction surgeries are challenging and often yield unsatisfactory results, posing a dif…

[BACKGROUND] The nasal tip plays a crucial role both esthetically and functionally. The application of nasal tip grafts is an effective method for improving nasal tip form. Ear cartilage is a common choice for nasal tip grafts, but it still…

Nasal skin necrosis represents a severe rhinoplasty complication, potentially leading to nasal deformity and psychological distress. To assess the safety, nasal function enhancement, and esthetic satisfaction in individuals with a history …

[BACKGROUND] Septorhinoplasty is one the most common class of procedures performed worldwide, and opioids are frequently prescribed for post-operative pain [1]. [OBJECTIVE] The objective of this study was to examine the rate of post-operat…

[BACKGROUND] Enhancing nasal tip projection is an important objective in Asian rhinoplasty. Nasal tip enhancement using auricular cartilage is simple and suitable for Asian patients. However, the long-term retraction problem of the auricula…

We reviewed the potential benefits of conchal cartilage or Polydioxanone (PDS) foil-empowered nasal cartilage as caudal septal extension grafts (CSEGs). Research methods included searching online databases such as Google, Google Scholar, Pu…

Rhinoplasty is a common surgical procedure in medical cosmetology. From patients with saddle nose deformity to beauty seekers with low and short noses, this surgery is mainly sought to improve the nose's appearance. To investigate the effec…

[OBJECTIVE] Ear cartilage, crucial for maintaining ear shape and function, can sometimes undergo damage or deformation, requiring surgical intervention. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of a novel, less invasive cartilage-protective…

[BACKGROUND] A deviated nose is a common problem among patients for both cosmetic and functional reasons. The correction remains a major challenge for the rhinoplasty surgeon. Unrecognized nasal septal deviations stand as the primary reason…

[BACKGROUND] Prominent ears were the most common auricular deformity. Different surgical techniques, such as cartilage-cutting techniques and suturing techniques, are available for treatment. The horizontal mattress suture technique, repres…

[BACKGROUND] The septal extension graft (SEG) has become the preferred augmentation rhinoplasty technique for Asian people due to its superiority in correcting tip projection and rotation. [OBJECTIVES] The aim of this study was to build a …

[SUMMARY] Several techniques have been proposed to modify tip shape and projection, both in congenital and in acquired nasal tip deformities. The authors describe a novel technique, the Y-columellar strut graft (Y-strut), which uses auricul…

[BACKGROUND] Due to the small and weak septal cartilage of Asians, it is a challenge to obtain ideal tip projection and nose lengthening in this population by performing septal extension grafts with only septal cartilage. [OBJECTIVES] The …

[OBJECTIVE] Various techniques have been described in the literature for prominent ear correction. These cartilage-preserving or cartilage-shaping techniques have their own advantages and disadvantages. We aim to achieve aesthetic and stabl…

[OBJECTIVES] Prominent ear abnormalities affect 5% of the population. A prospective, double-blind study of patients who underwent otoplasty procedures to correct these abnormalities was conducted to compare two surgical techniques. They div…

[BACKGROUND] Dorsal augmentation is one of the more complication-prone procedures in rhinoplasty, demanding ample skill and experience to produce an aesthetic and functional result. Numerous autologous grafts, allografts, xenografts, and al…

[BACKGROUND] Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen, and because of its specificity, its treatments appear tricky in postrhinoplasty infections with internal implants. This study summarizes the clinical characteristics and trea…
