코끝 Nasal Tip

[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] In recent years, the use of implants has emerged as a widely accepted method for the replacement of missing teeth. Although rare, chronic pain associated with implant placement has been reported in the literature. Conversely, a…

[AIMS AND BACKGROUNDS] The dynamics of nasal tip aesthetics and function is a complex balance of inherent cartilage structure and surrounding soft tissue characteristics. A thorough understanding of form and function is paramount in achievi…

[PURPOSE] Alar cartilage anatomy varies significantly across ethnic groups, and understanding these differences is crucial in nasal tip surgery. The aim of this descriptive study was to evaluate the anthropometric properties of the alar car…

[OBJECTIVE] Nasal tip hypertrophy is common in Asians, and surgical refinement usually relies on tip grafts or structural implants. For patients who refuse any implant and whose bulbous tip is mainly caused by excessive soft tissue rather t…

[BACKGROUND] Various instruments are used in microvascular decompression (MVD) to mobilize offending vessels. Most instruments have straight tips for safety but provide limited ability to retract vessels toward the surgeon. To address this …

[BACKGROUND] Rhinoplasty and particularly tip refinement, is complex and prone to revision, especially in thin-skinned patients. To address these issues, the senior author developed a fascia-cartilage hybrid tip graft (FCHTG) combining crus…

[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 …

[INTRODUCTION] The two main features that are important in defining the attractiveness of the nose include the projection and rotation of the tip of the nose. Among many techniques, Strat and SEG are much more efficient. The purpose of this…

Liposuction has become a highly common procedure performed by plastic surgeons since its advent in 1979. However, it is not without risk. The authors report their experience with breakage and retention of the tip of a liposuction infiltrati…

In nasal tip surgery, achieving both functional and aesthetic results is crucial. Several complications, such as alar retraction or weakening of the internal nasal valve (INV), are associated with the "classical" cephalic trim. To prevent c…

Achieving optimal contour and projection of the nasal tip is one of the most challenging aspects of rhinoplasty. The skin-soft tissue envelope (STE) plays a pivotal role in determining the final outcome, as its thickness and elasticity sign…

The footplates of the medial crura are relevant structures that play an important role in the columella and nostril sill design. They also work as a connection between the nasal and oral muscles, as the insertion of the superficial orbicula…

[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…

[OBJECTIVE] The aim of this study is to compare the radiological measurements of patients who underwent rhinoplasty using a piezo device with those of patients who underwent rhinoplasty using a classical osteotome. [METHODS] A total of 60 …

[BACKGROUND] Closed rhinoplasty had initially been relegated to a reductive procedure that did not provide access to place structural sutures for tip support. Despite the influence of closed rhinoplasty advocates Sheen, Constantian, Guerrer…

[OBJECTIVE] The rotation and projection of the nasal tip are fundamental factors in determining surgical success. The tongue-in-groove (TIG) technique is performed by securing the medial crura to the septum to control nasal tip rotation and…

[BACKGROUND] Septal extension grafts (SEGs) play a critical role in rhinoplasty by enhancing nasal tip projection, stability, and rotation. Despite their widespread use, no comprehensive systematic review has evaluated their overall effecti…

[BACKGROUND] This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the flexible tongue-in-groove (TIG) technique on nasal tip stability in patients undergoing columellar strut graft (CSG) placement. Nasal tip rotation and projection changes were comp…

Nasal tip stability is a key determinant of long-term rhinoplasty outcomes, yet the role of scroll reconstruction in supporting this stability remains insufficiently studied. This study investigated the impact of scroll reconstruction on na…
