Snake-shaped ePTFE nasal tip graft combined with conchal cartilage in Asian rhinoplasty: a retrospective cohort study.

Background: Lacking a nasal tip projection is a common deformity of Asian nasals. Various commonly used nasal tip grafts require dissecting septal perichondrium, most of them are autologous cartilage with a nonintegrated design. A snake-shaped expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) nasal tip graft is an integrated, stable tip graft without any additional assembly and splicing, conforming to the nasal anatomy characteristics of Asians.

Repair of Asian nasal subunit defects using nasolabial perforator flaps: A retrospective study.

Background: The application of nasolabial perforator flap for nasal reconstruction has been reported previously with satisfactory outcomes, but the outcomes and risk factors of postoperative adverse events have been unclear to plastic surgeons.

Aims: To statistically analyze the effectiveness of the nasolabial perforator flap in nasal reconstruction and the risk factor of postoperative complications and re-operation.

Patients/methods: This retrospective study evaluated 58 Chinese patients who underwent nasal reconstruction with the nasolabial perforator flap from 2009 to 2021.

The Morphological and Functional Effects of the Endoscope-Assisted One-Stage Approach for Crooked Nose.

Background: A crooked nose is an external nose deformity predominantly caused by congenital aplasia or acquired secondary to trauma or surgery, often accompanied by a deviated nasal septum. Patients with crooked nose have dual needs to improve both esthetic and functional problems.

Methods: The clinical and photographic information of 48 patients diagnosed with a crooked nose and nasal septum deviation treated from January 2018 to January 2022 was acquired.
