Since autologous cartilage is a good transplant material, it is widely used in various fields of clinical medicine. In this study, we collected clinical specimens obtained at different numbers of years after transplantation and used histolo…

Autologous auricular cartilage is used extensively as a good graft material in rhinoplasty. In this study, clinical specimens from patients who underwent revision rhinoplasty with auricular cartilage grafts were collected to compare the cha…

[BACKGROUND] Traditional silicone implants used in augmentation rhinoplasty lead to postoperative complications. [OBJECTIVES] To introduce a novel silicone implant designed to reduce postoperative complications. [METHODS] The author desig…

[BACKGROUND] Restricted ventilation is common after rhinoplasty with an endogenous extension stent. The authors proposed an exogenous extension stent concept for Asian rhinoplasty patients to avoid this problem. Herein, we introduce an inno…

Reconstruction of the nasal tip after the excision of the dermoid cyst is difficult, especially if the size of the dermoid is large. Tip reconstruction using Interdomal sutures of alar cartilages and auricular cartilage graft has been used …

Septal extension grafts (SEGs) are widely used to correct a short nose in Asians, but few studies to our knowledge have investigated the relationship between different graft materials and the stability of the aesthetic results in East Asian…

[BACKGROUND] In the rhinoplasty of Asian short nose deformity, the surgeon cuts a portion of septal cartilage and retains the nasal septum L-strut, but a deviated nasal septum is formed after the surgery under forces of soft tissue contract…

[OBJECTIVES] Rhinoplasty is one of the most common cosmetic surgeries in China. Septal extension grafts (SEG) have been widely used in rhinoplasty, but there are few reports on SEG derived from ear cartilage. This study aims to explore the …

[OBJECTIVE] Prominent ear deformity is one of the aesthetic problems that should be treated due to the psychosocial problems it causes. We aimed to present our results in which we used the combination of Mustarde suture to create an antihel…

[BACKGROUND] Both autologous and cadaveric grafts are often used during rhinoplasty to create volume and provide support. Despite discussion in the literature comparing the efficacy, cost-effectiveness, and complication rates between grafti…

[OBJECTIVE]  This study reveals that the cartilage chips can be a good solution for camouflage and augmentation in rhinoplasty. [METHODS]  In this study, 64 patients who had undergone rhinoplasty from 2014 to 2019 were retrospectively stud…

[INTRODUCTION] Saddle nose deformities are typically reconstructed with cartilage grafts; however, conchal cartilage grafts are and associated with a risk of damage to the posterior auricular ligament and insufficient amounts, and costal ca…

[LEARNING OBJECTIVES] After studying this article, the participant should be able to: 1. Understand the autologous graft options available to the rhinoplasty surgeon, including septal cartilage, auricular cartilage, costal cartilage, and bo…

[BACKGROUND] The purpose of this study was to evaluate the epidemiology and perioperative complications of different reconstructive strategies to correct cleft nasal deformity, with particular attention paid to type and timing of cartilage …

[BACKGROUND] Neonatal ear is more malleable and soft, allowing the correction of deformities by using external molding. This is mainly attributed to high concentration of the proteoglycan aggregate and hyaluronic acid. In this study, HA der…

[PURPOSE OF REVIEW] In revision or posttraumatic rhinoplasty, the quantity and quality of septal cartilage available for grafting is often deficient and auricular cartilage often provides insufficient strength for structural nasal reconstru…

[BACKGROUND] This study evaluated the incidence and clinical characteristics of postoperative infection following rhinoplasty. [METHODS] This article is a retrospective review of 2630 East Asian rhinoplasty cases performed by a single surg…

Objectives The use of autologous grafts is a key aspect of contemporary septorhinoplasty. When septal cartilage is deficient, auricular cartilage serves as a biocompatible, readily accessible alternative. Our study aimed to assess donor sit…

[PURPOSE] In this study, we proposed a "sliced-partial thickness cartilage graft" for nasal contour restoration purposes and compared the long-term graft survival and histological changes of sliced, crushed, and intact cartilage grafts. [M…

[BACKGROUND] Dorsal augmentation rhinoplasty addresses the aesthetic and functional impairments caused by a deficient nasal dorsum. Augmentation rhinoplasty can be performed using a variety of different surgical techniques and grafting mate…
