Nasal columella defects can result in significant cosmetic and functional deformities. If a local flap transfer cannot be performed, columella reconstruction becomes a significant challenge for the surgeon. The columella of a healthy 30-year-old woman whose nose was scarred and contracted because of cocaine abuse, was successfully reconstructed by transferring a microvascular free flap from the first web space of the foot. The reconstructed columella had a satisfactory contour and a good texture, although there was slight, albeit unproblematic, color mismatching.

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the impacts of undertaking symmetrical bone repair of the nasal alar base combined with nasolabial deformity repair versus nasolabial deformity repair alone on the improvement in nasal deformity of patients with unilateral cleft lip and alveolar cleft.
Methods: Fifty patients presenting with unilateral cleft lip and alveolar cleft were evaluated. Among them, 20 underwent nasolabial deformity repair solely (non-bone grafting group), whereas 30 patients received bone repair in conjunction with nasolabial deformity repair (bone-repair group).

Few alloplastic implant materials have been successfully used in nasal reconstruction. The high-density porous polyethylene (HDPE) implant is the most widely accepted alloplastic material for reconstructing the nasal structure. Some authors suggest that the problems associated with using grafts and biocompatible materials are often due to errors on the part of the surgeon or the technique used.

Aim: Due to the diversity and complexity of tissues involved in secondary nasal deformities following unilateral cleft lip, secondary nasal deformity correction surgeries are challenging and often yield unsatisfactory results, posing a difficult problem for plastic surgeons. Autologous cartilage, with its low sculpting difficulty, minimal absorption, and stable tissue compatibility, is considered the optimal material for reconstructing the columella, nasal tip, and alar. This study analyzed the clinical outcomes of using autologous cartilage to create a Y-shaped columella to correct secondary nasal deformities after cleft lip surgery.

Basocellular carcinomas are characterized by their non-deep spread neoplastic nature. Although treatment typically proceeds without complication, excision in critical facial regions can lead to aesthetically undesirable defects. Furthermore, elderly patients often express aesthetic concerns, particularly regarding the thinning of the upper lip over time.
