[BACKGROUND] Alloplastic implantation has become a popular method of chin augmentation. Historically, silicone was the most commonly used implant, but porous materials have grown in favor due to improved fibrovascularization and stability. …

[BACKGROUND] Chin augmentation has maintained a high level of popularity among patients and facial plastic surgeons. Several procedures exist to enhance the appearance of a small chin. The aim of this study was to perform a systematic liter…

[BACKGROUND] For Asian rhinoplasty patients with midfacial concavity, the conventional method is to solve the problem by using structural rhinoplasty to increase the nasal height and length. However, the results are not satisfying, and many…

[BACKGROUND] Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen, and because of its specificity, its treatments appear tricky in postrhinoplasty infections with internal implants. This study summarizes the clinical characteristics and trea…

[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…

A flat or concave lower midface profile is generally considered less attractive. Paranasal augmentation is usually performed to move paranasal deficiency to relative convexity. Herein, we present a viable and simplified modality with diced …

[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…

Hemifacial spasm is a cranial nerve compression syndrome caused by the anteroinferior cerebellar artery (AICA) and posteroinferior cerebellar artery (PICA), characterized by involuntary tonic/clonic contractions of the muscles. The refracto…

Augmentation rhinoplasty is one of the top three anesthetic surgeries in Asia. I-shaped silicone-polytetrafluoroethylene composite implants are feasible for both primary and secondary augmentation rhinoplasty in Asians. This series was to a…

[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…

[BACKGROUND] Various techniques with different grafts and implants have been proposed to establish a smooth and symmetric nasal dorsum with adequate function. Broadly, two categories of materials have been used in this regard: alloplastic i…

[INTRODUCTION] Augmentation rhinoplasty depends mainly on intact stable bony and cartilaginous parts. Many trials have used different materials as a graft to perform the operation and support the nose. Debate exists whether alloplastic or a…

[OBJECTIVES] When performing cosmetic rhinoplasty with alloplastic materials, complications such as implant visualization, inflammation, dislocation, and extrusion should be thoroughly evaluated. Although computed tomography (CT) can provid…

Numerous solutions for post-blepharoplasty lower eyelid retraction are reviewed. Patients require permanent recruitment of skin and soft tissue to lengthen the lower eyelid and control of the lower eyelid shape. The authors use a hand-carve…

Despite favorable results with conventionally irradiated homologous costal cartilage, there have been no clinical studies to date evaluating the utility of non- or minimally irradiated homologous costal cartilage (NIHCC) in rhinoplasty. To…

In Asian countries, augmentation rhinoplasty is especially common, where alloplastic implants are used much more commonly than autologous tissues. In rhinoplasty, such artificial materials include silicone, expanded polytetrafluoroethylene …

[BACKGROUND] A systematic approach to treating glabella-radix deficiency is lacking, and the management of brow-tip aesthetic lines remains technically challenging. [OBJECTIVES] The authors describe implantation of a customized Gore-Tex pr…

Augmentation rhinoplasty is one of the most common plastic surgery procedures performed in Asia. Most Asian patients desire not only a natural-looking nose but also a nose with natural feel. Achieving such rhinoplasty outcomes with grafts h…

Dorsal augmentation and tip surgery are essential procedures for East Asians seeking rhinoplasty, because they generally have thicker skin and poorly developed nasal dorsum and tip. For dorsal augmentation, many Asian surgeons prefer using …

[BACKGROUND] Paranasal augmentation has commonly been performed utilizing alloplastic materials such as silicone or porous polyethylene. However, there are problems such as bone absorption, implant migration, and infection risk attributable…
