Validation of the Modified Rhinoplasty Assessment Scale (Photographic).

Objective: To validate the modified Rhinoplasty Assessment Scale (Photographic) (mRASP).

Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Methods: Photographs for 100 rhinoplasty patients from 2 facial plastic surgeons were compiled.

Using word clouds to Re-envision letters of recommendation for residency applicants.

Objectives/hypothesis: To develop a "word cloud"-based visual letter of recommendation (VLOR) and to evaluate its efficiency in discerning applicant quality compared to narrative letters of recommendation (NLORs).

Study Design: Cross-sectional cohort study.

Methods: NLORs for 48 otolaryngology residency applicants interviewed from the 2016 application cycle were identified and mined for descriptive terms to generate a word cloud, referred to as a VLOR.

Selecting the Best Eyelid Techniques.

The periorbital region is a focal point on the face. Dermatochalasis, fat herniation, blepharoptosis, brow ptosis, deep tear troughs, and malar fat pad descent are all age-related changes that occur around the eyes, and successful rejuvenation involves addressing all of these changes. Restoring a youthful, vibrant appearance to the eyes and periorbital areas can often only be accomplished with a combination of surgical and nonsurgical interventions.

Masseteric to buccal branch nerve transfer.

Purpose Of Review: To review recent literature pertaining to the use of masseteric-facial nerve neurorrhaphy (MFNN) for facial reanimation in patients with facial paralysis.

Recent Findings: First, MFNN effectively restores some midface tone and function, including the ability to smile. Second, use of the masseteric nerve minimizes synkinesis, dysarthria, and dysphagia that frequently occur after hypoglossal-facial nerve neurorrhaphy.
