개방형 접근법 Open Approach

Open rhinoplasty is a complex procedure that requires precise exposure of multiple anatomic structures. Anatomic dissection typically proceeds from the tip cephalad to the dorsum. Although newer open rhinoplasty techniques exist, many surge…

The placement of a columellar cartilage strut graft (CSG) between the medial cartilage crura is an important step for providing tip projection and support in rhinoplasty. While the CSG is placed by direct observation in open rhinoplasty, it…

[PURPOSE] This study aims to highlight the significance of performing simulations, nasal hump reduction, and rasping in open-technique rhinoplasty for the nasal dorsum. The research utilizes data science methodologies for a thorough examina…

[BACKGROUND] Despite advancements in techniques, the choice between open and closed rhinoplasty remains contentious. This decision is influenced by patient-specific factors, deformity complexity, and surgeon expertise, with outcomes often t…

[INTRODUCTION] The inframammary fold has an important role in breast's aesthetic and maintain and should be restored during breast reconstruction after mastectomy. Several techniques have been described, mainly based on an open approach, no…

Introduction Rhinoplasty is a widely used procedure aimed at correcting nasal deformities to improve both function and aesthetics. The open and closed techniques are two main surgical approaches, each with specific indications and advantage…

[INTRODUCTION] Elbow stiffness can be a debilitating condition that significantly impacts a individual's ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL). Neglected distal humerus fractures when left untreated result in malunion causing …

A well-healed scar extends beyond a mere superficial concern, reflecting the precision and care underlying the surgery. This study addresses the lack of recent literature on the complete closure technique for external rhinoplasty scars, emp…

[INTRODUCTION] The presence of "dead space" in external rhinoplasty creates a welcoming environment for erratic soft tissue contraction. Poor redraping of the skin over the underlying osseocartilaginous framework at the end of the surgery m…

This study aimed to investigate perioperative changes in the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and the systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) and their relationship with postoperative edema and ecchymosis following rhinoplasty. …

[BACKGROUND] The thick skin and weak cartilages make tip rhinoplasty very challenging in Asian patients. Most require an open approach for structural grafting in order to achieve the desired projection and rotation. This need for substantia…

[BACKGROUND] Rhinoplasty is an ever-evolving field, with innovative techniques continually being developed to enhance both aesthetic and functional outcomes for patients. Increasingly, research has focused on the integral role of the facial…

[INTRODUCTION] Facial symmetry is prized for its association with health, genetic quality, and attractiveness, but minor asymmetries are common. Human asymmetry tends to favor the left side and is noticeable in various nose parts. However, …

The nose is a frequently affected site for skin cancers, thus it should always be considered when addressing pathologies of the external apex nasi. This case report presents a 28-year-old woman with an atypical nasal tip mass, characterized…

Oculonasal synkinesis (OS) is a rare, benign condition marked by involuntary alar wing movement during blinking, usually unnoticed by patients. OS typically arises from nerve misdirection post-trauma, surgery, or inflammation, with most cas…

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…

The Pitanguy ligament is a crucial structure in nasal tip support and in maintaining the integrity of the soft-tissue envelope of the nose. In this cadaveric study, the authors dissected out the Pitanguy ligament on a series of fresh human …

[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…

[OBJECTIVES] Midline nasal masses are rare and challenging for surgeons. This study examined the site with the highest risk of recurrence following midline nasal mass excisions. [METHODS] Surgical outcomes were retrospectively reviewed fol…

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…
