늑연골 Costal Cartilage

[BACKGROUND] Diced costal cartilage wrapped in autogenous fascia is favored by rhinoplasty surgeons because of its high stability and low resorption rate. However, the volume of fascial bags is difficult to adjust, and diced costal cartilag…

Asian augmentation rhinoplasty has seen marked transitions in both its technical and aesthetic aspects over time, to address the distinct anatomical needs of Asian patients while aligning with their individual standards of beauty. This stud…

[BACKGROUND] This study aimed to discuss and evaluate the results of a technique known as the dual-plane diced cartilage graft concept designed to improve dorsal nasal and radix augmentation in ethnic rhinoplasty cases. This involves the in…

[OBJECTIVES] Establishing a stable nasal tip is crucial for both aesthetic and functional outcomes in rhinoplasty. This study aims to present a novel technique used during columellar strut graft placement to enhance tip projection and ensur…

[BACKGROUND] Total LLC reconstruction always poses a challenge for plastic surgeons. Various techniques have been used to reconstruct destructed LLC, but there is still a lack of information regarding their morphology. Our objective is to o…

[INTRODUCTION] Identifying the type of existing nasal implant is crucial for preoperative planning of revision rhinoplasty in patients with secondary cleft lip nasal deformity. However, patients often lack accurate information. Although Hou…

Autologous costal cartilage calcification (CCC) can impact the course and long-term results of rhinoplasty. Preoperative information about the presence, severity, and pattern of CCC helps to assess donor site suitability and rhinoplasty pla…

[INTRODUCTION] Recent advancements in non-surgical cosmetic technologies have increased their popularity for facial rejuvenation, particularly non-surgical rhinoplasty in the Asian region. However, variability in injection techniques, unkno…

[INTRODUCTION] Dorsal augmentation enhances nasal dorsum height and contour. Existing techniques face challenges like resorption, infection, and migration. This study introduces Stratified Dorsal Augmentation, a multi-layered cartilage graf…

[BACKGROUND] In rhinoplasty, using the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid (PPE) as a graft offers advantages such as strong support and avoiding costal cartilage use, but identifying a safe harvesting area (inferior one-third portion) is ch…

[BACKGROUND] East Asian patients with unilateral cleft lip and nasal deformity (UCLND) have severe septal deviated. An innovated septal reconstruction method using both perpendicular plate of ethmoid (PPE) and cartilage septum may improve v…

[METHODOLOGY] Patients exhibited progressive saddle nose deformity as a result of GPA. To reconstruct the nose, a single-stage open rhinoplasty was conducted involving the placement of an independent L-shaped costal cartilage implant. Graft…

This study introduces the shield-like septal extension graft technique, a novel approach for enhancing tip support, rotation, and projection in revision rhinoplasty cases. The shield-like septal extension graft is positioned in front of the…

In bilateral cleft lip and palate patients, secondary rhinoplasty is often complicated by a limited skin envelope, which restricts nasal tip projection despite the use of septal extension grafts (SEGs). We proposed a technique based on the …

[BACKGROUND] An improperly established tip graft can lead to a narrow tip over time. To further refine the nasal tip and reduce the possibility of a narrow pointy tip, a shield graft and a tip onlay graft made from rib cartilage were fixate…

Secondary rhinoplasty (SRP) in patients with matured unilateral cleft lip and palate remains a surgical challenge due to nasal asymmetry, tip ptosis, and alar deformities. This study aimed to quantitatively assess morphological nasal change…

[BACKGROUND] Cleft lip and palate (CLP) represent one of the most prevalent congenital anomalies of the maxillofacial region, resulting in significant structural deformities that impact nasal function, facial aesthetics, and psychosocial we…

[BACKGROUND] Rib cartilage rhinoplasty has emerged as a preferred surgical approach for complex nasal reconstructions due to its structural integrity, versatility, and long-term stability. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates …

[BACKGROUND] Columellar incision techniques for multiply operated and/or severely compromised noses are critical in reconstructive rhinoplasty, because they impact both the final outcome and the risk of complications, such as wound dehiscen…

[BACKGROUND] Autologous cartilage has been extensively employed in nasal tip plasty procedures. Nevertheless, long-term resorption rates of autologous cartilage grafts, particularly on the nasal tip, remain uncertain to surgeons worldwide. …
