[BACKGROUND] Extended Spreader Grafts (ESGs) are widely used for both esthetic and functional purpose in rhinoplasty. This study aims to examine the effects of drilling on ESGs in rhinoplasty and their clinical benefits, as well as to analy…

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…

[BACKGROUND] There are different types of grafts for rhinoplasty, each with certain advantages and disadvantages. Fresh frozen cadaveric costal allograft (CCA) provides an alternative to rhinoplasties. The aim of this study was to compare t…

[OBJECTIVE] To investigate the influence of buried thread nasal augmentation on dorsal soft tissue of nose and revision rhinoplasty. [METHODS] A clinical data of 29 patients requesting revision rhinoplasty after buried thread nasal augment…

Silicone breast implant insertion is a commonly performed surgical procedure for breast augmentation or reconstruction. Among various postoperative complications, infection is one of the main causes of patient readmission and may ultimately…

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…

[ABSTRACT] Costal cartilage harvesting (CCH) is a fundamental skill for plastic surgery residents to master. Understanding the learning process is essential for optimizing training programs and ensuring patient safety. Previous research on …

[AIM] The most versatile recipient vessels for breast reconstruction are the internal mammary artery and vein. For microvascular anastomosis, one or two costal cartilages are often dissected to increase the length of the vessel and the degr…

[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] Silicone implant augmentation rhinoplasty along with various tip plasties are commonly performed in Asian patients, but a revision rhinoplasty is frequently required because of various problems. Secondary rhinoplasties are ofte…

[BACKGROUND] Secondary deformities of the cleft lip and nose are mainly caused by the long period of craniofacial development and the secondary scarring. Correction of the secondary cleft lip-nose deformity is a complex process that require…

[BACKGROUND] Autologous costal cartilage has been used for augmentation rhinoplasty in Asia for many years. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of hybrid grafting of costal cartilage for dorsal augmentation, septal recon…

[BACKGROUND] It is undeniable that costal cartilage is an excellent source of grafts, however it has some potential disadvantages, including a tendency to warp. There are very few studies that have examined how to resolve preexisting cartil…

[BACKGROUND] The costal cartilage is widely used in rhinoplasty. Although different surgical methods of costal cartilage harvest have been developed, few studies have reported the method of costal cartilage harvest for patients after breast…

[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 …

Deep inferior epigastric perforator flaps are commonly used for breast reconstruction using autologous tissue. For such free flaps, the internal mammary artery provides stable blood flow as the recipient for anastomosis. We report a novel d…

[OBJECTIVE] To evaluate and compare the costal cartilage lateral crural strut graft's (LCSG) ability to support a weak lateral crus in patients with external nasal valve dysfunction (EVD) undergoing primary versus revision functional rhinop…

[BACKGROUND] Historically, research of diced cartilage for rhinoplasty has mainly explored the efficacy of wrapped materials, with few studies dedicated to various sizes of diced cartilage. [OBJECTIVES] The authors of this study sought to …

[BACKGROUND] The camouflage of the nasal dorsum is very important for thin-skinned patients. In this study, the authors presented an improved method for these patients and evaluated the safety and efficacy of this method in augmentation rhi…
