[BACKGROUND] Achieving symmetry in secondary cleft rhinoplasty is challenging even for the most skilled surgeon. The authors present their technique and outcomes of using a circumferential alar rim graft to relocate the cleft-sided anterior…

 The primary aim of this paper is to describe an original technique for dorsal augmentation in rhinoplasty. The use of a carved block of costal cartilage or layers of septal cartilage is a well-known technique for dorsal augmentation. Howev…

[PURPOSE] Understanding the detailed course of the septal branch of the superior labial artery is crucial for improving the safety and efficacy of both invasive and noninvasive nasal procedures. This study aimed to clarify the anatomical co…

[BACKGROUND] The correction of tear trough deformities is a significant challenge. The aim of this study is to present a new technique of using wide, adjustable external traction fixation in conjunctival approach orbital fat reposition surg…

[BACKGROUND] Given the high prevalence of monolids in Asians and challenges in achieving natural-looking symmetrical folds in blepharoplasty, this study introduces a precise double eyelid design method to improve surgical outcomes. This stu…

[SUMMARY] In recent years, the perpendicular plate of ethmoid (PPE) has become a prominent choice for bone-grafting materials. This study introduces the PPE split technique for efficient removal of the bony septum or the harvesting of parti…

[BACKGROUND] Adequate nasal tip support is crucial for achieving both aesthetic and functional outcomes in rhinoplasty. This study introduces a wide-based columellar strut graft (WB-columellar strut graft) as a new modification to provide e…

[BACKGROUND] Unilateral cleft lip secondary nasal deformities are common and require surgical correction frequently. The nasal dome on the cleft side is depressed, and the nasal ala is in an extended and flattened position compared with the…

[BACKGROUND] The septum is often underdeveloped in East Asian populations, and traditional endogenous extension stents may not adequately fulfill the requirements for rhinoplasty. Herein, we present an innovative exogenous extension framewo…

Application of dorsal preservation rhinoplasty techniques requires an in-depth understanding of the underlying nasal anatomy. A key tenant of dorsal preservation rhinoplasty is maintaining the relationship between the upper lateral cartilag…

In dorsal preservation rhinoplasty, resection of the septum is required to remove a hump. Modifications to the original immediate subdorsal strip excision of Goodale and Lothrop include the following sub-dorsal approaches: modified subdorsa…

[BACKGROUND] Several studies have explored the use of septal extension grafts (SEGs). However, there is a lack of research specifically addressing the bilateral application of this technique. The present retrospective study presented the su…

[BACKGROUND] Thread rhinoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure with short downtime and high patient satisfaction. Although it is known that the effectiveness of rhinoplasty varies depending on the method of thread placement, there have b…

[BACKGROUND] Rhinoplasty is a critical surgical intervention aimed at enhancing nasal form and function. However, traditional approaches often compromise the integrity of nasal scroll ligaments, vital for the functionality of the internal n…

Cleft lip and palate, the most common congenital orofacial anomalies, result in complex nasal deformities due to deficient bony maxilla, dentoalveolar arch, teeth, and soft tissues. This article explores nasal deformities in patients with c…

The nasal valves are not simple, 2-dimensional cross-sections but rather a complex, 3-dimensional, collapsible, and heterogeneous structure. Historically, the internal nasal valve (INV) is defined by the septum medially, the caudal margin o…

The external nasal valve is the anatomic structure formed by the caudal septum, alar rim, medial crura of the lower lateral cartilage, and nasal sill at the level of the nasal vestibule. Evaluation of external nasal valve dysfunction is dep…

External nasal deformity is common and can be treated surgically. It often occurs in conjunction with the development of the nasal septal cartilage, vomer, and vertical plate of the ethmoid bone but may be caused by trauma. Here, we present…

Preservation rhinoplasty has re-emerged over the past decade and continues to gain traction in the rhinoplasty community. Dorsal preservation rhinoplasty (DPR), one of the tenets of preservation rhinoplasty, centers on preservation of the n…
