코끝 Nasal Tip

[BACKGROUND] Achieving functional results in nasal reconstruction necessitates a focus on structural integrity. Surgeons are often challenged by limited supply of donor material for grafting. This study aims to determine the types and mater…

[INTRODUCTION] Middle Eastern rhinoplasty presents unique challenges that require a comprehensive understanding of the unique anatomical distinctions that set it apart from Western Caucasian ideals. Achieving natural, harmonious results nec…

[BACKGROUND] Although porous high-density polyethylene (pHDPE) is increasingly utilized in East Asian rhinoplasty, complications like perforation remain problematic. [OBJECTIVES] This study evaluated autologous auricular cartilage-augmente…

[BACKGROUND] Nonsurgical rhinoplasty (NSR) is rapidly gaining popularity due to its convenience and lower complication risks. Polycaprolactone (PCL)-based collagen stimulator provides both immediate volumization and long-term neocollagenesi…

[BACKGROUND] Cleft lip/palate deformity affects the lips, nose, and nostrils and is one of the most common congenital orofacial anomalies globally. Over the past half a century, a longstanding debate has taken place on whether nasal deformi…

[AIM AND BACKGROUND] Revision or secondary rhinoplasty involving the nasal tip is challenging due to distorted anatomy, scarring, and compromised tip support. This article presents a framework for surgical approach and decision-making in se…

[BACKGROUND] Intermediate cleft rhinoplasty (ICR) addresses nasal deformities in children with cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P), yet the influence of surgical planning and outcomes remains underdefined. This study evaluates decision-making an…

[AIMS AND BACKGROUND] This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of nasal tip support, tensioning mechanics, and suture-based techniques that refine projection, rotation, and stability in rhinoplasty. Modern approaches emphasize …

[BACKGROUND] In rhinoplasty, the open approach carries potential risks such as hypertrophic scarring, while synthetic implants carry potential risks like infection. Therefore, we propose a new technique that utilizes exclusively auricular c…

[AIMS AND BACKGROUNDS] This article describes the senior author's (M.S.) approach to nasal tip management in primary rhinoplasty, integrating preservation concepts with selective structural reinforcement to enhance long-term stability and r…

Eyelid laxity is a visible sign of aging that can significantly affect appearance and comfort; however, many patients remain reluctant to undergo surgical blepharoplasty. Monopolar radiofrequency (RF) offers a non-invasive alternative. This…

[BACKGROUND] Diced costal cartilage wrapped in autogenous fascia is favored by rhinoplasty surgeons because of its high stability and low resorption rate. However, the volume of fascial bags is difficult to adjust, and diced costal cartilag…

[AIMS AND BACKGROUND] The soft tissue envelope is inherently disrupted during rhinoplasty, especially in the open approach and during tip plasty. To avoid adverse outcomes such as pollybeak deformity and nasal valve collapse, these soft tis…

[AIMS AND BACKGROUNDS] This study aims to review contemporary principles of structural nasal tip grafting and provide a practical framework for selecting techniques that achieve durable aesthetic and functional outcomes. [HISTORICAL ASPECT…

[BACKGROUND] To compare the long-term rotational stability of septal extension grafts (SEGs) fixed with polypropylene (PP) versus polydioxanone (PDO) sutures in rhinoplasty and to evaluate the impact of skin thickness on surgical outcomes. …

[BACKGROUND] Botulinum toxin (BoNT) is a bacterial poison that acts by blocking the release of acetylcholine-containing vesicles at the neuromuscular junction. Notably, a mild amount of BoNT is known to exert therapeutic benefits against va…

[BACKGROUND] The columellar strut (CSG) was developed at the start of rhinoplasty to rebuild the nasal tip's projection and ligaments. In an effort to offer more tip assistance, the septal extension graft (SEG) surfaced as a substitute. Tod…

[AIM] To introduce a novel incision design for large advancement genioplasty. [FINDINGS] Our variation extends from the premolar to the premolar, maintaining a 5 mm distance from the root apices and the vestibular sulcus. The incision is V…

Over-resection leads to many complications in rhinoplasty. Here, we detail the most common of these pitfalls and strategies to both avoid and repair them.The nose is frequently divided into thirds. The nasal bones represent the upper third.…
