: To survey the opinion of oculoplastic surgeons on the assessment and management of lower eyelid retraction (LLR). : A web-based survey queried oculoplastic surgeon members of Ojoplast, Spanish and Brazilian Oculoplastic Societies on the m…

Restoration of the external ear and nose in human patients, in either congenital deformity or acquired defects, is a challenge in reconstructive surgery. Optimization of the currently available materials is necessary for rhinoplasty and mic…

Although surgical techniques for rhinoplasty and nasal reconstruction are well established, prospective research on postoperative morbidity remains limited. The aim of this pilot study was to assess costal and auricular cartilage donor site…

[INTRODUCTION] The saddle nose deformity is easily recognized by the loss of septal support and nasal dorsal height with adverse functional and aesthetic consequences. [TECHNIQUE] We treated a 50-year-old woman and a 54-year old man that p…

Tip surgery during rhinoplasty is particularly difficult in Asians. Tip grafting is the best approach. Conchal cartilage with perichondrium and costal cartilage are powerful grafting materials. The most important grafting techniques are tip…

[IMPORTANCE] Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) is a widely used alloplast, but studies of augmentation of the nasal tip and nasal dorsum with ePTFE are lacking. [OBJECTIVE] To investigate whether attaching the conchal cartilage as s…

[BACKGROUND] Cleft lip and palate are the most common craniofacial congenital malformations. Timing of the nasal repair remains somewhat controversial. Some authors perform a combined nasal and lip repair in infancy while others advocate fo…

Dorsal augmentation with synthetic implants is the most commonly performed rhinoplasty procedure, especially in the East-Asian region. However, as in all other surgical procedures, complications are inevitable. Complications that need to be…

Advances in aesthetic rhinoplasty using conchal cartilage grafts have led to a high occurrence of retroauricular keloids. The purpose of this study is to introduce our surgical experiences using a keystone flap in retroauricular keloids fol…

[PURPOSE] The significant shortcomings associated with current autologous reconstructive options for auricular deformities have inspired great interest in a tissue engineering solution. A major obstacle in the engineering of human auricular…

Although many graft materials have been used for augmentation rhinoplasty, an ideal graft has not yet been developed. As the field of tissue engineering has been developing, it has been applied to the reconstruction of many organs, but its …

[BACKGROUND] Floppy eyelid syndrome (FES) is typically characterized by chronic eye irritation and an increased laxity of the upper eyelid that can be easily everted by applying minimal upward traction. However, it is a clinical entity that…

There have been several methods described for the correction of prominent ears, including techniques that excise, bend, suture, score, or cut the auricular cartilage. The Island Technique, proposed by Pitanguy, is based on the creation of a…

[BACKGROUND] The septal extension graft is currently the most commonly used primary and secondary rhinoplasty technique in Asia because it provides maximal tip projection and rotational controllability. The authors compared the tip projecti…

Care for patients with cleft lip and palate is best managed by a craniofacial team consisting of a variety of specialists, including surgeons, who are generally plastic surgeons or otolaryngologists trained in the United States. The goal of…

[OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS] To characterize the histologic and biochemical properties of auricular and septal cartilage and analyze age-related changes in middle-aged to older adults. [STUDY DESIGN] Cross-sectional study of auricular and septa…

[OBJECTIVES] The aim of this study was to measure the length, width, and surface area of costal and auricular cartilage harvested for grafting in rhinoplasty and nasal reconstruction. We also compared the sizes of ear cartilage grafts harve…

[BACKGROUND] Irregularities or deformities of the nasal dorsum after hump reduction account for a significant number of revision rhinoplasties. The authors therefore developed a technique of meticulously dicing and exactly placing free dice…

[BACKGROUND] Binder syndrome is a rare congenital malformation with a flat facial profile especially a depressed nose. Rhinoplasty plays an important part in the multidisciplinary surgical protocol. Different materials have been proposed to…

We conducted an experiment to investigate the effectiveness of bacterial cellulose, a new graft material, in correcting and preventing dorsal nasal disorder in rhinoplasty. The experiment was performed on 20 Wistar albino rats. The rats wer…
