Nasal cartilage pathologies are common; for example, up to 80% of people are afflicted by deviated nasal septum conditions. Because cartilage provides the supportive framework of the nose, afflicted patients suffer low quality of life. To c…

[BACKGROUND] Although isolated congenital absence of lower lateral cartilages are rare deformities, they deserve special attention of plastic surgeons performing rhinoplasty as these anomalies may pass unnoticed by the patient and the plast…

Despite progress made in nasal reconstruction, the restoration of a large defect, including the whole septum and mid-nasal vault structures, remains a challenge. The pericranial flap (PCF) is used widely for the reconstruction of anterior c…

[BACKGROUND] Nasal septal cartilage and conchal cartilages are preferred sources of grafts in augmentation rhinoplasty. Rib cartilage can also be used, but it may evoke a patient's concerns about a scar and an extensive surgery. In such cas…

[OBJECTIVE] The authors report on the use and complications of alloplastic resorbable plates and compare their use to autologous cartilage grafts in secondary cleft nasal reconstruction. [DESIGN] Institutional review board (IRB)-approved r…

Dorsal augmentation grafts are used to reconstruct and raise the nasal dorsum in patients with dorsal saddling due to trauma, infection, or previous nasal surgery, as well as in patients with a narrow, congenitally low, and/or wide dorsum. …

[BACKGROUND] Silicone and Gore-Tex implants are mainstays of Asian rhinoplasty. Silicone implants are inexpensive and wieldy, but may elicit a foreign-body reaction and are prone to migration. Gore-Tex implants are more biocompatible and ca…

Revision rhinoplasty in Asian patients is associated with problems related to the use of grafts or implant materials. Moreover, the septal cartilage of Asian individuals is generally weak and small, which makes it particularly vulnerable to…

[BACKGROUND] This report describes the authors' experience of "melting" septal cartilage after placement of a septal extension graft in a nasopharyngeal cancer patient that had been previously undergone radiation therapy, and provides a rev…

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…

[PURPOSE] Nasal tip reconstruction is an important component in aesthetic rhinoplasty. Different congenital deformities or acquired disorders (trauma, infection, operations) may affect the nasal tip structure. Additionally, the natural appe…

[BACKGROUND] Filler materials are gaining popularity in nonsurgical rhinoplasty the major advantages are the ability to camouflage the surface deformities, and also the soft and malleable consistency; while the major drawback of the safe fi…

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)…

[BACKGROUND] Invasive and minimally invasive cosmetic procedures in patients with autoimmune or inflammatory skin disorders can carry an increased risk of surgical site infection, disease exacerbation, atrophic/hypertrophic scarring, or sub…

Antibiotic prophylaxis is frequently used in plastic surgery procedures, despite the generally low rates of infection and few guidelines on the practice. The increasing prevalence of bacterial resistance to antibiotics calls for a reduction…

[BACKGROUND] Tracking surgical complications and unplanned healthcare utilization is essential to inform quality initiatives in aesthetic surgery. This study used the Tracking Operations and Outcomes for Plastic Surgeons database to charact…

Rhinoplasty in children has raised concerns about its safety in the pediatric population. There is scarcity of evidence describing outcomes and surgical techniques performed in pediatric rhinoplasty. We analyzed post-operative complications…

[BACKGROUND] Psychiatric comorbidity is associated with greater 30-day postoperative complication rates in various surgical specialties, but is not well characterized for reconstructive plastic surgery. [OBJECTIVES] The aim of this study w…

[OBJECTIVE] Use of cyanoacrylate glue in facial plastic surgery is still controversial due to the absence of long-term follow up showing the results. Aim of our study is comparing the long-term outcomes of N-butyl-cyanoacrylate + Metacrylox…

[BACKGROUND] The objective is to evaluate the safety of performing multiple combined facial plastic surgical procedures affecting various planes of the face including rhytidectomy, forehead contouring with browlift, cheek implants, rhinopla…
