Nasal sill augmentation: an overlooked concept in rhinoplasty-a technical note and review of the literatures.

Background: Nasal sill is one of the components of the alar ring, affecting the esthetic outcomes of rhinoplasty; accordingly, we developed a novel technique to adjust defects in this area and compared it with the available techniques.

Methods: Our technique was based on creating a tunnel access to the nasal sill area through an incision made in the lower third of the columella using the open approach or through a nostril base incision in patients, who underwent alar base reduction, followed by insertion of a cartilaginous graft into the marked defect area.

Results: A total number of 54 patients with a defect in the nasal sill area were included in this study.

Concomitant Dorsal Preservation Rhinoplasty and Orthognathic Surgery: A Technical Note.

Purpose: In the present report, we have introduced a novel technique for concomitant Le Fort I surgery and dorsal preservation rhinoplasty and reviewed the reported data.

Patients And Methods: Concurrent surgery could be considered a suitable option for patients requiring both upper jaw orthognathic surgery and rhinoplasty or those who are willing to undergo single-stage concomitant rhinoplasty and orthognathic surgery. In the present technical note, we have introduced a dorsal preservation rhinoplasty technique combined with Le Fort I surgery through an intraoral approach.

Intraosseous neurofibroma and concurrent involvement of the mandible, maxilla and orbit: report of a case.

Neurofibroma is an autosomal dominant disorder which has major criteria such as hyperpigmentation (cafe-au lait spots), cutaneous and subcutaneous tumors and bone deformities. In this report, a case of multifocal intraosseous neurofibroma in a 16-year-old male with right facial asymmetry, multiple unerupted maxillary posterior teeth and a previous history of infratemporal and orbital neurofibroma is presented. The majority of reported cases occurred in the posterior portion of the mandible and a limited number in the maxilla.
