비중격연골 Septal Cartilage

[BACKGROUND] Patients with alveolar cleft unrepaired suffer from nasal deformities of different magnitude. Bone and cartilage grafts are harvested through several incisions. In this study, we present a method to simultaneously correct nasal…

[PURPOSE OF REVIEW] In revision or posttraumatic rhinoplasty, the quantity and quality of septal cartilage available for grafting is often deficient and auricular cartilage often provides insufficient strength for structural nasal reconstru…

[BACKGROUND] Revision rhinoplasty is undoubtedly one of the most challenging procedures in facial plastic surgery. The complexity is compounded when there is a paucity of native septal cartilage to perform the required framework reconstruct…

Objectives The use of autologous grafts is a key aspect of contemporary septorhinoplasty. When septal cartilage is deficient, auricular cartilage serves as a biocompatible, readily accessible alternative. Our study aimed to assess donor sit…

[BACKGROUND] Although it has been common to use artificial implant to augment nasal dorsum in Asian rhinoplasty, the demand for not using it is increasing due to the long-term complications of implants. However, if only the tip is raised wi…

[BACKGROUND] Filler injection for nose tip improvement remains a difficult treatment due to efficacy and safety issues. [OBJECTIVES] The authors sought to better the techniques and safety for nose tip improvement with a filler. [METHODS] …

Mucoceles are fluid filled cysts with numerous etiologies that can erode bone and if left untreated, can lead to infraorbital and intracranial complications. With limited cases published in the medical literature, our patient with a fronton…

[BACKGROUND] Dorsal augmentation rhinoplasty addresses the aesthetic and functional impairments caused by a deficient nasal dorsum. Augmentation rhinoplasty can be performed using a variety of different surgical techniques and grafting mate…

Explore the significance of ultrastructural differences in tissue engineering, 3D printing, and rhinoplasty. 32 specimens （8 vomers, 8 perpendicular plates of ethmoid bone, 8 maxillary nasal crests, and 8 septal cartilage） of the nasal sep…

Despite the great demand of aesthetic rhinoplasty in Asian population, it is difficult to obtain the lasting ideal tip projection along with lengthening of the nose due to the small and weak nasal septum. The shortage of available septal ca…

[OBJECTIVES] Rhinoplasty with or without combined septoplasty is one of the most frequently performed procedures in facial plastic surgery. Patient satisfaction and improvement in quality of life (QoL) is the primary goal. This prospective …

[BACKGROUND] The angulation of nasal bones and superior border of septal cartilage forms a slight convex profile at rhinion area. Taking this angulation into account, we bring forth a modification of dorsal onlay graft. [METHODS] Sixty-one…

[INTRODUCTION] Congenital anomalies of lower lateral cartilages are very rare. Difficulties to detect before the operation may cause problems during the surgery. In this paper, we presented a unique deformity with the combination of aplasti…

[BACKGROUND] Achieving dorsal augmentation with onlay grafts presents several challenges. Visibility and warping of grafted cartilages can ruin an otherwise successful operation. A shortage of septal cartilage and rib donor site morbidity c…

[BACKGROUND] Nasal dorsum reconstruction is a crucial step of the rhinoplasty. For avoiding complications, techniques that preserve natural dorsal anatomy becomes popular recently. In preservation techniques, ethmoidal bone surgery may take…

[BACKGROUND] The lower lateral cartilages (LLCs) are key elements for alar and tip support. Repositioning of both LLCs is an effective procedure for correcting a laterally spreading dome of LLCs and drooping nasal tip in cleft lip nasal def…

[BACKGROUND] Correcting a secondary bilateral cleft lip nasal deformity is very complex with many challenges due to its complexity. This study presents the surgical results after correcting a secondary bilateral cleft lip nasal deformity us…

Saddle nose deformity (SND) is a pathological entity resulting from loss of dorsal height caused by a substantial decrease in the cartilaginous vault or bony vault, and it can occur after a variety of nasal pathological conditions. Most sad…

[BACKGROUND] The most common facial defect is the congenital cleft lip (CL), which can occur with or without a cleft palate (CP). Patients need primary plastic surgery for rehabilitation and esthetics; nevertheless, secondary abnormalities …

Traditional gamma-irradiated allograft costal cartilage used for cartilage-depleted rhinoplasty patients contains cellular remnants that are potentially responsible for immunological stimulation and graft resorption. To determine whether d…
