A 19-year-old female patient visited our clinic for rhinoplasty. She complained about her low take-off point, which was apparent in profile view, and wanted slight tip projection. She refused additional cartilage harvesting from ears or rib…

Correction of the short nose is the most challenging part in a rhinoplasty. It is even more difficult in Asians compared with Caucasians due to the thicker skin soft tissue envelope and weaker cartilaginous frameworks. Additionally, most of…

[BACKGROUND] To achieve the desired refinements in Asian patients, sufficient septal cartilage is needed for ideal tip projection and lengthening of the nose by the septal extension supported by the stable septum. There are many cases of in…

Cartilage is commonly grafted during primary and secondary rhinoplasties as a means of addressing both functional and esthetic issues. Generally, such grafts are taken from the nasal septum, but auricular conchae or ribs may serve as donor …

Nowadays, cartilage grafts are widely used in secondary as well as primary rhinoplasty. Even if their fixation is often easier and more precise using an open approach, most of them can also be positioned with a close approach. In this artic…

[BACKGROUNDS] The aims of the present study were to determine the exact level of separation of the upper lateral cartilage from the septal cartilage, and to classify the patterns of connection between the upper lateral cartilage and the low…

[BACKGROUND] Reconstruction of the middle third of the nose is crucial and middle vault insufficiency is possible following dorsal reduction in a primary rhinoplasty unless additional surgical measures are taken. The aim of this study was t…

[BACKGROUND] The currently recommended strategies for short nose elongation were designed primarily for the Caucasian nasal framework. For Oriental patients, more elongation often is required because a hypoplastic septal cartilage requires …

[BACKGROUND] The septal cartilage is the most useful donor site for autologous cartilage graft material in rhinoplasty. For successful nasal surgery, it is necessary to understand the developmental process of the nasal septum and to predict…

IMPORTANCE Nasal tip-plasty is one of the most important and difficult parts of rhinoplasty. Three-dimensional positioning of the nasal tip is a vital component in the overall appearance of the tip. The use of a septal extension graft (SEG)…

The use of the nasal hump removed during rhinoplasty was described by Aufricht in 1934 and 1958. In the past 10 years, the author has been using a similar technique but with significant variations. Before beginning the rhinoplasty surgery, …

A follow-up study was conducted of implants used to replace the anterior septal cartilage. The implants used were (1) the cartilaginous septum after correction, (2) parts of the bony septum (when it was impossible to use the cartilaginous s…

When reconstructing the lower eyelid with use of a temporal-zygomatic skin flap, the inner lining can be provided by a tarsal pedicle flap from the upper eyelid. The flap is hinged in the superior cul de sac and is similar to the letter T o…

A method to correct the cleft lip nasal deformity is described. It consists of complete mobilization of the alar cartilage, and keeping it in position with two lifting thread loops which are anchored to the dorsal part of the septal cartila…

Reconstruction of the lower lid often is a greater task than originally anticipated in preoperative evaluations. The Mustardé and Hughes methods are commonly used for extensive lower lid reconstruction. Certain difficulties encountered in t…
