[BACKGROUND] Double-eyelid blepharoplasty is a common cosmetic surgery. However, blepharoplasty can lead to poor results, necessitating repair surgery. One of the most frequent poor results after double-eyelid blepharoplasty is an excessive…

[OBJECTIVE] This article introduces a surgical approach that emphasizes minimizing the removal of pretarsal tissue to achieve a stable and dynamic upper eyelid morphology while effectively preventing concave scarring at the incision site. …

Rhinoplasty is undergoing a transformation with the reemergence of dorsal preservation rhinoplasty (DPR) techniques. This article introduces a novel addition to the DPR repertoire, "bony dorsal preservation" (BDP), which has particular appl…

[BACKGROUND] The septal cartilage is the most common and advantageous donor site for autogenous cartilage grafts in rhinoplasty. [OBJECTIVES] We aimed to examine the parts of nasal septum of Turkish patients and assess the association betw…

The placement of a columellar cartilage strut graft (CSG) between the medial cartilage crura is an important step for providing tip projection and support in rhinoplasty. While the CSG is placed by direct observation in open rhinoplasty, it…

Septo-/rhinoplasty, combining septoplasty and rhinoplasty, addresses both functional nasal impairments and aesthetic concerns. While immediate outcomes are well-studied, long-term impacts on quality of life (QoL) are less explored. Evaluati…

[BACKGROUND]  Modern trends in reconstructive surgery involve the use of free perforator flaps to reduce the donor site morbidity. The course of perforator vessels has a great anatomic variability and demands detailed knowledge of the anato…

[BACKGROUND] Ideal methods for double-eyelid crease creation in Asian upper eyelids remain controversial because of the complexity of the Asian upper eyelid anatomy. Key issues include the underestimation of tarsal height and the septum/apo…

[BACKGROUND] After the introduction of orbital septal fat release and reposition in transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty (TCLB), few studies have addressed the thorough release of orbital fat tissue to adequately augment the tear trough a…

In dorsal preservation rhinoplasty (DPR), approaching the septum with a subdorsal flap (or Cottle technique) classically requires two pillars. If either of these are compromised, despite release of all blocking points, the dorsal contour ma…

[BACKGROUND] Dorsal preservation is a recently popularized technique to lower the nasal dorsum without opening the cartilaginous vault. Improved nasal breathing has been reported after lowering an intact dorsum using preservation techniques…

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…

Wegener's granulomatosis or Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is aa necrotizing vasculitis of small to medium size blood vessels. It may present as limited forms, involving one or two ELK (E-ear, nose and throat involvement; L-lung inv…

Introduction Rhinoplasty is one of the most intricate procedures in facial plastic surgery, requiring a balance between functional restoration and aesthetic refinement. The existing literature often emphasizes comparisons between surgical t…

Chondrosarcoma is a rare malignant tumor of epithelial origin, with fewer than 0.1% of cases affecting the nasal septum. Maxillofacial oncological surgery presents significant challenges, particularly in maxillary reconstruction, often requ…

Breast reconstruction following mastectomy is a vital component of comprehensive cancer care, with a variety of techniques available to restore symmetry and form. This case report describes a 54-year-old woman who underwent a unique "breast…

The apparent lack of quadrangular cartilage in Black African noses is commonly observed both from a radiological and clinical point of view. To the best of our knowledge, only a few research papers have been conducted on the facial proporti…

A normal alar-columellar relationship is crucial for lower third finesse in rhinoplasty. Hanging columella is a common complaint in the alar-columellar relationship and membranous septum excision is frequently recommended for its correction…

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…

[BACKGROUND] Restoration of a straight and adequately wide nasal dorsum is challenging in patients with deviated noses. Supporting a reformed septum with an extended spreader graft (ESG) is important for maintaining position. [OBJECTIVE] T…
