늑연골 Costal Cartilage

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…

[BACKGROUND] Cosmetic augmentative rhinoplasty (CAR) can alter undesirable nasal features, increasing people's self-confidence and encouraging social activities. [METHODS] Pathogens that caused postoperative infection after CAR between Jan…

[BACKGROUND] Revision rhinoplasty for patients with Latin American nasal characteristics presents a significant surgical challenge owing to complex anatomical and structural factors. A structured and systematic approach is essential for imp…

Generally, revision rhinoplasty cases require the use of stiff grafts to restore the lost support. However, the majority of patients indicated for revision surgery present with a lack of a bony cartilaginous framework of the septum, especia…

 The primary aim of this paper is to describe an original technique for dorsal augmentation in rhinoplasty. The use of a carved block of costal cartilage or layers of septal cartilage is a well-known technique for dorsal augmentation. Howev…

[PURPOSE] Advancements in rhinoplasty techniques are continuously evolving, leading to reportedly better outcomes, though clinical practice does not necessarily reflect the adoption of these tools and methods. This survey study aims to comp…

[BACKGROUND] The columella is highly susceptible to damage and the most challenging nasal subunit to reconstruct. Of existing reconstructive techniques, ranging from regional to microsurgical flaps, none are ideal for minimizing the complex…

Minimizing invasiveness has become a primary goal in autologous breast reconstruction, with a shift toward perforator-based flaps over musculocutaneous flaps to reduce donor site morbidity. The deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DI…

[BACKGROUND] Rhinoplasty is an ever-evolving field, with innovative techniques continually being developed to enhance both aesthetic and functional outcomes for patients. Increasingly, research has focused on the integral role of the facial…

[BACKGROUND] Adequate nasal tip support is crucial for achieving both aesthetic and functional outcomes in rhinoplasty. This study introduces a wide-based columellar strut graft (WB-columellar strut graft) as a new modification to provide e…

[BACKGROUND] The septum is often underdeveloped in East Asian populations, and traditional endogenous extension stents may not adequately fulfill the requirements for rhinoplasty. Herein, we present an innovative exogenous extension framewo…

Preservation techniques have become more popular recently, in part due to the benefits of preserving normal nasal anatomy. There are preservation techniques that can be used to perform augmentation of the nose, including the nasal dorsum an…

[BACKGROUND] Skin cancer patients who undergo Mohs surgery may require subsequent reconstructive rhinoplasty for large nasal defects. Autologous cartilage is the primary source of supporting cartilage grafts, but carries the risk of potenti…

Due to the prevalence of anterior maxilla dysplasia in Asian population, paranasal concavity is a common accompaniment to low nose, but its impact on facial harmonization is often underestimated. A retrospective comparative study was conduc…

[BACKGROUND] Primary and secondary rhinoplasty frequently require cartilage grafts to support the osseocartilaginous framework. Autologous and irradiated homologous cartilage have been used as sources, each with pros and cons. Recently, fre…

[BACKGROUND] This study investigated the effects of combining an auricular composite graft with rib cartilage-based rhinoplasty to correct contracted noses in Asian patients with a history of multiple previous operations. [METHODS] A total…

[BACKGROUND] Primary or secondary dorsal augmentation rhinoplasty addresses aesthetic and functional issues related to a deficient, under-projected, or depressed nasal dorsum, frequently in middle vault. Traditional treatments often involve…

[OBJECTIVE] To investigate the application and therapeutic efficacy of a novel cartilage framework: the external septa framework in East Asian rhinoplasty. [METHODS] From November 2021 to April 2023, Department of Plastic and Aesthetic (Bu…
