콧등 Nasal Dorsum

[AIM AND BACKGROUND] Asian rhinoplasty presents unique challenges due to distinct anatomical features, including a low nasal dorsum, weak cartilaginous framework, and thick soft tissue envelope. This article examines contemporary surgical a…

Reconstructing the dorsum in revision rhinoplasty remains a complex challenge. Traditional methods such as solid rib grafts and diced cartilage fascia (DCF) grafts present significant limitations, including warping, displacement, and insuff…

[BACKGROUND] This study aimed to objectively compare postoperative edema between subperichondrial and sub-SMAS dissection planes by assessing skin thickness via ultrasonography. [METHODS] Forty-four patients undergoing rhinoplasty were ran…

[INTRODUCTION] Modern rhinoplasty relies on osteotomies that risk destabilizing the nasal pyramid. While suture fixation is standard for cartilage, bony stabilization remains technically challenging. We present a novel piezosurgery-assisted…

[PURPOSE] To report a rare presentation of periocular necrotizing fasciitis (NF) following a surgical site infection after aesthetic rhinoplasty. [CASE PRESENTATION] We present two otherwise healthy patients who developed periocular swelli…

Nasal aesthetics are central to rhinoplasty outcomes, yet ideals of beauty vary considerably across cultures, ethnicities, and generations. Current evidence is fragmented, often Eurocentric, and lacks a comprehensive synthesis. This systema…

[INTRODUCTION] The most common unwanted outcomes in preservation rhinoplasty continue to be the residual and the recurrent hump. [OBJECTIVE AND HYPOTHESES] We propose a new solution, contributing to preexisting techniques, to overcome this…

[BACKGROUND] Due to the inherent fragility of septal and auricular cartilage, insufficient graft availability during surgery, and technical limitations in nasal tip framework construction, we modified the cartilage harvesting techniques and…

[BACKGROUND] Contour irregularities at the dorsum-tip junction remain a challenge in primary, secondary, and cleft-related rhinoplasty, particularly in patients with scarring or shortened soft tissues. While this transition irregularity can…

[INTRODUCTION] Autologous fat grafting remains a topic of debate, involving not only the pathophysiology of its absorption but also the techniques that promote better integration for more predictable results. [OBJECTIVE] This study aimed t…

[BACKGROUND] Rhinoplasty outcomes are heavily influenced by nasal tip anatomy, particularly the thickness of the soft tissue envelope (STE) and the underlying cartilaginous framework. Traditional assessment methods are subjective, prompting…

[BACKGROUND] Dorsal preservation techniques balance hump reduction with mid-vault support. Foundation techniques (impaction) lower the dorsal hump without reshaping it, whereas surface modulation can compromise vault support. We propose an …

Irregularities on the nasal dorsum post rhinoplasty remain a prevalent concern for both surgeons and patients. Various techniques using cartilage are used to hide the nasal dorsum, such as crushed cartilage, free diced cartilage, surgical-w…

[BACKGROUND] In dorsal preservation techniques of rhinoplasty, problems such as residual and recurrent hump and dorsal irregularities are encountered. In this study, we combined paramedian dorsal component excision with low septal strip sep…

Tenosynovial giant cell tumour (TSGCT) of the head and neck is exceedingly rare. We report a case of a TSGCT at a novel anatomical site, the nasal dorsum. This case also contributes to the expanding genetic landscape of TSGCT through the id…

[BACKGROUND] The rise in cosmetic procedures globally, particularly rhinoplasty, reflects evolving beauty standards and increasing acceptance, necessitating nuanced surgical approaches tailored to diverse ethnicities and patient preferences…

[INTRODUCTION] The use of let-down and push-down techniques has gained great popularity. In dorsal preservation rhinoplasty, down techniques are used to correct the dorsal hump with resections from the septum while preserving the anatomic i…

Primary cutaneous follicle center lymphoma (PCFCL) is an indolent subtype of primary cutaneous B-cell lymphoma that may present diagnostic challenges due to its variable clinical appearance and frequent overlap with benign inflammatory or n…

[BACKGROUND] The techniques for roof modification in the context of preservation rhinoplasty focus on altering the nasal roof, which is composed of both bone and cartilage elements, without the necessity of excision while preserving its str…

[BACKGROUND] During rhinoplasty, there is often a need to perform camouflage and esthetic augmentation of the nasal dorsum. Some of the most well-studied methods include the use of deep temporal fascia and diced cartilage in fascia. Due to …
