The Pillars Concept: An Approach for Managing Hypertrophic Concha in Otoplasty.
Facial Plast Surg

Private Practice, Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Mallorca, Spain.
Prominent ear deformities often result from a combination of hypertrophic conchal cartilage and an underdeveloped antihelical fold. Traditional otoplasty techniques, such as antihelical folding sutures and conchal setback maneuvers, may introduce tension and risk of relapse, leading to suboptimal aesthetic outcomes. The PILLARS CONCEPT: represents an alternative surgical approach specifically designed to address hypertrophic concha, ensuring stable and natural results.

From the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Center for Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital (Affiliated People's Hospital, Hangzhou Medical College), Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China.
Background: In this study, the clinical efficacy of a new framework construction technique for costal cartilage rhinoplasty was investigated.
Methods: From January 2020 to February 2022, patients who underwent rhinoplasty in the department of plastic and reconstructive surgery of Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital were enrolled. The sixth costal cartilage was made into the nasal columellar support graft (strut), the nasal tip graft integrated scaffold, and the septal extension grafts.
Composite graft for the prevention and correction of a deep labiomental fold after advancement genioplasty.
Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg

Section of Maxillofacial Surgery, Department of Surgery, Clinic 'Villa Pini', Civitanova Marche, MC, Italy. Electronic address:
When an advancement genioplasty exceeds 3-4 mm an unpleasant fold may arise between lower lip and chin, especially in patients with thin skin. To flatten the labiomental fold, a solid graft can be inserted into the concavity between alveolar process and chin prominence. An original technique is proposed that uses a composite graft made of a bone block fixed directly to the mandibular basal bone and covered with a layer of cartilage, to overcome the flaws associated with previously described techniques.

October 2024
Background: Management of dorsal dead space and the aesthetics of a supratip break are paramount to achieving reproducible and reliable results in rhinoplasty.
Objectives: The authors present a modified technique of redraping the nasal soft tissue envelope in structural rhinoplasty by utilizing the nasal superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) to help obliterate dorsal dead space and restore normal anatomy, thereby enhancing midvault and supratip contouring.
Methods: A standard open rhinoplasty approach is utilized.
Geometric Reconstruction of Cartilage Tissue With Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Assisted Electromechanical Reshaping: An Experimental Study.

From the Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, Selcuk University Faculty of Medicine.
Shaping the ear cartilage and preserving the shape are important and quite difficult. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the effectiveness of the Wharton's jelly-derived stem cell-assisted electromechanical reshaping method in a rabbit ear cartilage defect model and to compare it with surgical reshaping.For the purpose of 25 × 4-mm cartilage defect reconstruction, 48 rabbit ears were divided into 2 main groups according to the shaping method, and these main groups were divided into 3 subgroups according to stem cell injection: control, sham, and stem cell.
