비중격 Nasal Septum

[BACKGROUND] Nasal dorsal augmentation using an alloplastic implant and tip projection using a septal cartilage are generally used in Asian rhinoplasty. Excessive submucosal resection weakens septal support, causing problems due to a heavy …

[INTRODUCTION] Dorsal cartilage preservation techniques have gained significant popularity among rhinoplasty surgeons recently, as they present natural dorsal aesthetic lines, and avoid dorsal reconstruction procedures for the cartilage dor…

[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 Rhinoplasty is increasingly being performed for aesthetic enhancement and functional improvement. However, the decision to undergo rhinoplasty involves physical, psychological, and social factors. This study investigated which na…

[BACKGROUND] Although preservation rhinoplasty was described many years ago, it has recently been brought to the forefront of our field. Skin and soft tissue envelope (SSTE) preservation is of particular interest as it prevents the previous…

[OBJECTIVE] Exploring the clinical effects of the method using elevating the suborbicularis oculi fat (SOOF) and suturing it with the orbital septum and orbital fat as a whole for fixation to correct lower eyelid bags and tear trough deform…

[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…

[OBJECTIVE] Previous corrections of infraorbital and tear trough depression often utilized particulate fat or artificial material fillers, or used orbital septum fat flaps fixed via subcutaneous/epicutaneous knotting through facial puncture…

[OBJECTIVE] Nasal septal perforation (NSP) is characterized by defects in the mucosal, cartilaginous, and bony structures of the septum, most commonly resulting from septoplasty. Spontaneous healing of NSPs is rare, necessitating surgical i…

To evaluate morphologic outcomes following mature cleft rhinoplasty using exclusive septum cartilage grafting.Retrospective, observational study.SettingSingle institution, 8-year retrospective review.Patients/ParticipantsA total of 31 facia…

[BACKGROUND] The supratip break point is paramount in nasal aesthetics. "Pollybeak deformity" denotes a swollen supratip, posing aesthetic concerns. The Pitanguy ligament facilitates tissue attachment and aids in the control of fibrosis. Th…

[BACKGROUND] Bulbous nasal tips in East Asian patients are often caused by thick skin and soft tissue hypertrophy, presenting challenges in rhinoplasty. This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of supratip excision combined with cartila…

[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…

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…

[BACKGROUND] Postoperative nasal asymmetry is a common secondary deformity following correction of unilateral cleft lip, with insufficient structural reinforcement along the nasal midline representing a key etiological factor. [PURPOSE] To…

Vascular complications after facial filling with hyaluronic acid/poly-l-lactic acid (HA/PLLA) composite fillers are rare. Herein, the authors report a case of vascular occlusion after nose and nasolabial fold augmentation with HA/PLLA that …

This retrospective study aims to evaluate paranasal computed tomography (CT) scans that were previously obtained as part of routine preoperative assessment in patients who underwent rhinoplasty for aesthetic purposes, focusing on the preval…

Removal of the dorsal hump in structural rhinoplasty disarticulates the upper lateral cartilages (ULCs) from the septum, resulting in a loss of control over the medial and posterior displacement of the lateral nasal walls. This consequently…

[BACKGROUND] During primary rhinoplasty, dorsal hump reduction almost always impairs the middle vault and if not reconstructed nasal obstruction is likely to occur. [OBJECTIVE] The aim of this study is to suggest a novel technique that can…

Open rhinoplasty is a complex procedure that requires precise exposure of multiple anatomic structures. Anatomic dissection typically proceeds from the tip cephalad to the dorsum. Although newer open rhinoplasty techniques exist, many surge…
