코끝 Nasal Tip

Reduction structured rhinoplasty is a rhinoplasty technique that combines elements from two rhinoplasty philosophies: simple reductive rhinoplasty and structural rhinoplasty. The goal is to achieve decreased nasal size while supporting a li…

Structural endonasal rhinoplasty, unlike traditional reductive rhinoplasty, achieves aesthetic and functional objectives while maintaining key structural anatomical elements and minimizing complications.Previously, rhinoplasty was performed…

Rhinoplasty remains a leading facial plastic procedure globally. The term "ethnic patients" has been replaced by "mixed race patients" reflecting today's interracial mixing, globalization, and massive migrations."Hybrid rhinoplasty" combine…

[BACKGROUND] Three-dimensional (3D) printing technology is actively applied in rhinoplasty procedures. The use of 3D-printed silicone implants facilitates success in surgery, even when the surgeon lacks experience. However, in some cases, d…

[BACKGROUND] Nasal dorsal augmentation using an alloplastic implant and tip projection using a septal cartilage are generally used in Asian rhinoplasty. Excessive submucosal resection weakens septal support, causing problems due to a heavy …

Rhinoplasty continues to evolve, with small technical refinements yielding significant aesthetic and functional gains. This article reflects on nearly two decades of surgical experience, focusing on the balance between structural support an…

[BACKGROUND] The Columellar Auto-Strut Technique (CAST) is a refined modification of the Tongue-in-Groove (TIG) method, designed to provide stable nasal tip support while maintaining aesthetic flexibility. This study evaluates the clinical …

[INTRODUCTION] Dorsal cartilage preservation techniques have gained significant popularity among rhinoplasty surgeons recently, as they present natural dorsal aesthetic lines, and avoid dorsal reconstruction procedures for the cartilage dor…

[BACKGROUND] Rhinoplasty is one of the most commonly performed aesthetic surgical procedures. Both patients and surgeons rely on qualitative descriptors such as "plunging nose," "bulbous tip," or "twisted nose" to describe nasal features. D…

[OBJECTIVES] Establishing a stable nasal tip is crucial for both aesthetic and functional outcomes in rhinoplasty. This study aims to present a novel technique used during columellar strut graft placement to enhance tip projection and ensur…

[BACKGROUND] Rhinoplasty is a complicated facial surgery which aims to improve the appearance of the nose, resulting in the enhancement of satisfaction with appearance and quality of life. Therefore, it is crucial to understand which factor…

[BACKGROUND] Rhinoplasty outcomes in patients with thick nasal skin may be challenging due to the sebaceous nature of the skin, which can compromise tip definition and delay resolution of postoperative edema. Perioperative adjunct using iso…

[BACKGROUND] Large defects of the posterior trunk after soft tissue sarcoma resection represent a challenge in reconstructive surgery. Coverage with musculocutaneous flaps or free flaps is often associated with donor site morbidity and func…

[BACKGROUND] Before administering hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, aspiration can be performed as a safety measure to determine whether the needle tip is located within a vascular structure. However, the efficacy and utility of aspiration have…

[BACKGROUND] Although preservation rhinoplasty was described many years ago, it has recently been brought to the forefront of our field. Skin and soft tissue envelope (SSTE) preservation is of particular interest as it prevents the previous…

[OBJECTIVES.] The eyebrow is a frequently used landmark in rhinoplasty. While caution is advisable when relying on manipulated eyebrows as a reference, there is a lack of evidence regarding the use of unmanipulated eyebrows as a landmark. T…

[BACKGROUND] Dentinal microcracks during apicoectomy may be influenced by the instrument used for root-end resection and preparation. Recognizing instrument-related crack formation is important for safer microsurgical choices. [AIMS] To ev…

[BACKGROUND] The role of mitigation strategies to decrease contamination during breast implant surgery has advanced over the years, and the utility of implantation funnels has been recently validated by several studies. However, the additio…

[SUMMARY] Dorsal preservation rhinoplasty (DPR) refers to the preservation of the nasal mid-vault during rhinoplasty. It can be performed in conjunction with open structural tip rhinoplasty as a hybrid approach to rhinoplasty. Implementing …

[BACKGROUND AND AIMS] Plunging tips caused by overactivity of the depressor septi nasi (DSN) muscle present common challenges in rhinoplasty. The tongue-in-groove (TIG) surgical technique has proven effective in correcting static tip droopi…
