Total loss of columella causes significant aesthetic and functional deformities due to its important functions which provides assistance and extension to the nose pointer. Noma is described as one of the developed sources of total columellar loss, and is also contagious, with the ability to intensely damage facial tissues and immediate structures. However, the condition is predominantly suffered in Africa, with an estimation of 20 instances per 100,000 individuals. Furthermore, the reformation of a columellar disorder offers a complex process, due to the structural features of the location. A 24-year-old female patient with total columellar loss caused by Noma. We performed a two stage reconstruction. First, we used double nasolabial flaps to create a new columella. Second, we inserted costal cartilage and dermofat graft to support it. The double nasolabial flap demonstrated 100% survival. Both nasal airway and the final appearance showed functionally and cosmetically remarkable results. The nasolabial angle projected better than the preoperative measurement. The patient was satisfied. The patient was followed up until a year after surgery. The double nasolabial flaps combined with costal cartilage graft is one of the best surgical options to obtain astonishing columellar reconstruction.

Background: Soft tissue fillers are used to improve the appearance of nasolabial folds (NLFs). This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of a new calcium hydroxylapatite microsphere hydrogel filler (Aphranel) versus Restylane for correcting NLFs.
Methods: In this multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel-grouped, positive-controlled, non-inferiority trial, 210 subjects were randomized to bilateral NLF treatment with Aphranel and Restylane on either side of the NLF.

Article Synopsis
- The long-term study aimed to evaluate patient satisfaction and pain levels following various facial aesthetic procedures while analyzing psychological and social well-being both immediately and one month post-treatment.
- Data was collected from 172 participants, predominantly female, using FACE-Q questionnaires to assess perceived age, satisfaction levels, and pain via a visual scale.
- Results indicated high satisfaction after 30 days, particularly among filler recipients, with many participants perceiving themselves as younger and reporting low pain levels, alongside positive correlations between satisfaction and psychological/social well-being.
