[BACKGROUND] Short nose correction in Asian rhinoplasty is challenging due to weak septal cartilage, thick skin envelopes, and strong postoperative contractile forces that compromise long-term tip stability. [OBJECTIVES] This study aimed t…

[BACKGROUND] To enhance nasal symmetry, septal cartilage can be used as an alar rim graft on the cleft side during primary rhinoplasty. Short-term results have been favorable, but the long-term results are unclear. The authors compare nasal…

[BACKGROUND] Lengthening a short nose using costal cartilage is common in primary and revision rhinoplasty but has drawbacks, including complexity, two surgical sites, and high complication rates. We present an alternative technique using o…

[BACKGROUND] Due to the inherent fragility of septal and auricular cartilage, insufficient graft availability during surgery, and technical limitations in nasal tip framework construction, we modified the cartilage harvesting techniques and…

[BACKGROUND] Bulbous nasal tip surgery due to lateral-crural pseudo-malposition in medium-to-thick skin with weak cartilage is often challenging. Suture-only maneuvers may not reliably maintain the lateral-crural resting angle in such anato…

[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] 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 …

Fixation of quadrangular septal cartilage is a basic step in low-septal-resection dorsal preservation rhinoplasty. The most commonly used technique for this purpose is the fixation of the septum with a suture to the anterior nasal spine. Th…

[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…

[OBJECTIVE] To determine how storage medium and temperature affect the histological viability of autologous septal cartilage intended for early revision rhinoplasty. [METHODS] Cartilage specimens stored for 6 and 12 months in four media-dr…

[BACKGROUND] Preservation of septal cartilage harvested during primary septoplasty can reduce the need for secondary donor sites in future revision rhinoplasty. However, the optimal storage conditions for maintaining tissue viability and ex…

Rhinoseptoplasty addresses both nasal deformities and functional issues. Effective postoperative care is essential for optimal recovery, as complications such as swelling, bruising, and pain can adversely affect healing and patient satisfac…

Asian augmentation rhinoplasty has seen marked transitions in both its technical and aesthetic aspects over time, to address the distinct anatomical needs of Asian patients while aligning with their individual standards of beauty. This stud…

[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 …

[OBJECTIVE] Nasal septal perforation (NSP) is characterized by defects in the mucosal, cartilaginous, and bony structures of the septum, most commonly resulting from septoplasty. Spontaneous healing of NSPs is rare, necessitating surgical i…

To evaluate morphologic outcomes following mature cleft rhinoplasty using exclusive septum cartilage grafting.Retrospective, observational study.SettingSingle institution, 8-year retrospective review.Patients/ParticipantsA total of 31 facia…

[BACKGROUND] East Asian patients with unilateral cleft lip and nasal deformity (UCLND) have severe septal deviated. An innovated septal reconstruction method using both perpendicular plate of ethmoid (PPE) and cartilage septum may improve v…

[BACKGROUND] Postoperative nasal asymmetry is a common secondary deformity following correction of unilateral cleft lip, with insufficient structural reinforcement along the nasal midline representing a key etiological factor. [PURPOSE] To…

Rhinoplasty is undergoing a transformation with the reemergence of dorsal preservation rhinoplasty (DPR) techniques. This article introduces a novel addition to the DPR repertoire, "bony dorsal preservation" (BDP), which has particular appl…
