Objective: Septorhinoplasty is the most frequently performed aesthetic operation. Many techniques are used in septorhinoplasty, and these techniques can affect patient satisfaction, which is one of the most important parameters showing success in surgery. In this study, we aimed to compare the postoperative satisfaction of patients with and without crushed cartilage onlay grafts.
Methods: Patients who underwent septorhinoplasty between 2017 and 2019 were included in the study. A rhinoplasty outcomes evaluation (ROE) questionnaire and a visual analog scale (VAS) were completed before and after surgery. Pre- and postoperative values were compared. The patients were classified into two groups as patients with or without crushed cartilage grafts, and the results were compared.
Results: A total of patients were included in our study, 54 of which were female, and 39 were male. Results showed that post-operative ROE and VAS scores were statistically significantly improved (p < 0.05). In the group with crushed cartilage, the 12th month ROE and VAS scores were lower than the group without crushed cartilage (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: In the group with crushed cartilage, the satisfaction levels in the 12th month were lower than those of the patients without crushed cartilage.

Article Synopsis
- Tip rhinoplasty in Asian patients is complicated due to thick skin and weak cartilage, often requiring open surgery and grafting for better results.
- This study presents a technique using free crushed cartilage filler grafts to enhance the aesthetic appearance of the nasal tip, aimed at allowing real-time feedback during the procedure.
- Results from 66 patients after an average follow-up of 16.3 months show significant improvements in nasal length and height, with some reporting minor aesthetic issues but no major dissatisfaction or need for revision surgery.

Background: Crushed cartilage grafts improve augmentation and contour irregularities in rhinoplasty; however, they are associated with complications including resorption, asymmetries, palpability, and need for revision surgery.
Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis following the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses guidelines was performed on all recorded history up to November 2022 using the search query ("crush" or "crushed") AND cartilage AND rhinoplasty for PubMed, World of Science, Embase, and Cochrane online registries. Data were collected on study information, patient demographics, surgical details, and outcomes.

Background: Oral food processing is an important part of daily food intake. A major part of this process is mastication, which prepares a bolus of food for swallowing by mechanically crushing and grinding ingested food between the teeth using rhythmic movements. Masticatory dysfunction is common in the elderly and in some neurological disorders and can have serious negative health consequences.

Background: Rhinoplasty in patients with previous unilateral cleft lip repair is a surgical challenge due to complex nasal deformities, including a horizontally positioned nasal wing, wide cleft side nostrils, nasal base defects, and a short and deviated nasal columella. To comprehensively address these complexities, we exclusively utilized autologous costal cartilage in rhinoplasty procedures, using various surgical techniques.
Methods: This study presents a comprehensive case series of 39 patients who had previously undergone unilateral cleft lip surgery but still had nasal deformities.
