[BACKGROUND] Among the problems encountered in dorsal preservation rhinoplasty are residual hump and hump recurrence. In this study, the authors performed a modification to lower strip resection and fixation of the septum, and investigated …

[OBJECTIVE] To investigate the application and therapeutic efficacy of a novel cartilage framework: the external septa framework in East Asian rhinoplasty. [METHODS] From November 2021 to April 2023, Department of Plastic and Aesthetic (Bu…

Patients who underwent cleft lip surgery in childhood may develop nasal malformation later in life. Various procedures have been described to correct these malformations. This study aims to describe our surgical approach and assess the morp…

[BACKGROUND] Nasal septal perforations are defects of the septum. Symptomatic patients failing conservative measures may be considered for surgery; however, the surgery is challenging. This study describes a technique involving mucosal adva…

[BACKGROUND] Autologous nasoseptal cartilage grafts are used to correct nasal asymmetry and deviation in rhinoplasty, but patients who have undergone multiple operations may have limited autologous cartilage tissue available. L-strut implan…

[INTRODUCTION] Over the past decade, rhinoplasty has seen an unprecedented evolution in concepts, techniques and tools. New concepts have led to new techniques, prevalently but not exclusively related to preservation rhinoplasty, and the us…

[BACKGROUND] The aim of this study was to evaluate long-term outcomes and patient satisfaction after nasal dorsal rhinoplasty with allogeneic cartilage graft of the nasal septum. [MATERIALS AND METHODS] The present study included 104 patie…

[BACKGROUND] Septal extension grafting (SEG) is commonly used for correcting Asian short noses. When septal cartilage is limited, septal bone can be included. This study evaluates the outcomes of SEG using a septal cartilage-septal bone com…

[INTRODUCTION] Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (GPA), also known as Wegener's Granulomatosis, is an ANCA-associated vasculitis that primarily affects small vessels, leading to necrotizing granulomatous reactions in the airways and small ve…

[BACKGROUND] Complex nasal defects most often arise due to oncological resection or severe trauma. Traditional methods of two-stage nose reconstruction using a forehead flap with a skin graft have often resulted in collapse and deformity of…

[OBJECTIVES] (a) To investigate the relationship between tunnel volume (TV) and morphologic parameters of interatrial septum (IAS) in cases with type 3 and type 4 IAS; (b) To investigate the relationship between TV of the IAS and ischemic g…

Lower eyelid function and appearance depend on the complex anatomic relationship between the soft tissue lamellae, supportive tarsoligamentous sling, and bone. Aging in the lower lid area may be caused by changes in the anterior lamella (sk…

[BACKGROUND] The anatomic basis of lower eyelid bulging remains enigmatic, and the concept of compartmentalization is often used to describe bulge location but does not completely explain the cause of periorbital aging. [OBJECTIVES] The au…

[BACKGROUND] The lower eyelid, because of its unique functional and anatomical characteristics, is highly susceptible to early signs of aging. There is overlap in the manifestation of age-specific senescent features across age groups, with …

Grafts and flaps play significant roles in rhinoplasty procedures, while spreader grafts are commonly used. Spreader grafts are placed into submucosal pockets between the upper lateral cartilage and nasal septum. Occurrence of deviation can…

Successful rhinoplasty relies on a deep understanding of nasal anatomy and precise nasal tip control for lasting functional and aesthetic outcomes. Structural grafts, like septal extension grafts, are instrumental in maintaining tip positio…

The ideal procedure to correct nasal obstruction in persons with external nasal deformity by comparing two techniques of rhinoplasty i.e. open technique and endoscopic technique is of interest. Hence, a prospective study was done for a peri…

Patients with cleft lip and palate often present with severe nasal deformities that require complex surgical correction. Titanium miniplates can offer stable support to the nasal tip and septum, potentially improving both aesthetics and fun…

The present study aimed to introduce a novel surgical technique of constructing a septal-costal cartilage complex to correct septal caudal deviation of patients with unilateral cleft lip nasal deformities (UCLND). The caudal end of the sept…

A crooked nose is a challenge for a surgeon performing rhinoplasty. When performed correctly, rhinoseptoplasty aligns the nasal framework, restores nasal patency, and achieves facial symmetry. The key to this procedure is to dissect all the…
