Due to the prevalence of anterior maxilla dysplasia in Asian population, paranasal concavity is a common accompaniment to low nose, but its impact on facial harmonization is often underestimated. A retrospective comparative study was conducted on patients diagnosed as low nose with paranasal concavity between June 2017 and June 2021, with a total of 56 patients followed up successfully. The control and observation groups were established according to whether the paranasal augmentation was performed.

Nasomaxillary hypoplasia is a rare congenital malformation involving the middle third of the face. The present paper describes a novel technique for restoring the nasal projection in a patient with nasomaxillary hypoplasia, analyses its advantages and limitations, and discusses its potential applicability in other similar contexts. After orthognathic surgery, lateral osteotomies of the nasal bones were performed integrally with a piezoelectric device using a long cutting saw tip through the intraoral approach.

Premaxillary Deficiency: Techniques in Augmentation and Reconstruction.

Semin Plast Surg

May 2020

Otolaryngology and Facial Plastic Surgery Associates, Fort Worth, Texas.

Progressive premaxillary retrusion is a common sequela of the facial aging process. In most cases, this manifests with central maxillary recession. Central maxillary insufficiency is also commonly encountered within certain ethnic communities, or in cleft lip nasal deformity, and may represent a challenge for the plastic and reconstructive surgeon attempting correction in the setting of facial contouring, rhinoplasty, or reconstruction following oncologic resection or trauma.

The Alignment of the Nose in Rhinoplasty: Fix Down Concept.

Plast Reconstr Surg

February 2020

From private practice.

Background: The current literature on rhinoplasty focuses mainly on the nasal profile (sagittal plane); however, the nose is a three-dimensional structure, and alignment of the nose in consideration of other aspects is important to achieve an aesthetic result. The author aimed to introduce the fix down concept, which includes fix down technique and the adjunct maneuvers for achieving alignment of the nose in three anatomical planes and improving the results of rhinoplasty in terms of symmetry.

Methods: Between March of 2017 and December of 2017, a total of 102 patients (78 women and 24 men), 13 revision and 89 primary cases, underwent septorhinoplasty with the fix down concept.

Despite the improvement of primary repair of nasal deformities during the management of cleft lip in infancy, this does not exclude the need for revision rhinoplasty in adulthood for complete patients' rehabilitation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the aesthetic outcome of secondary rhinoplasty using costal cartilage grafts in patients with unilateral cleft lip nasal deformity. Twenty patients who were operated at earlier ages for correction of cleft lip and had a residual unilateral cleft lip nasal deformity were included in this study.

Redefining the Septal L-Strut to Prevent Collapse.

PLoS One

August 2016

Department of Mechanical Engineering, POSTECH, Pohang, Korea.

During septorhinoplasty, septal cartilage is frequently resected for various purposes but the L-strut is preserved. Numerous materials are inserted into the nasal dorsum during dorsal augmenation rhinoplasty without considering nasal structural safety. This study used a finite element method (FEM) to redefine the septal L-strut, to prevent collapse as pressure moved from the rhinion to the supratip breakpoint on the nasal dorsum and as the contact percentage between the caudal L-strut and the maxillary crest changed.

An Asian rhinoplasty is one of the most popular procedures in plastic surgery. The anatomical characteristics of the Asian nose are quite different from those of other races, including low dorsum height, short columella, a thick soft tissue covering on the tip with flaccid lower lateral cartilage, and a sunken midface with relative protrusion of the mouth due to maxilla or premaxillary retrusion. For augmentation and lengthening of the nose, a silicone implant has been commonly used in Asian countries.

Background: Although the majority of nasal alterations in rhinoplasty result from either augmentation or reduction of bone and cartilaginous substructure, modifications of influential soft-tissue provide significant contribution to the final result. The depressor septi nasi muscle is a soft-tissue structure well known to influence the final result in rhinoplasty. The objective of this study was to perform a standardized, comprehensive review of relevant data published with regard to the depressor septi nasi muscle.

Complex nasal defects present a surgical challenge, particularly in cases with a full-thickness defect that extends into the nasal septum. Although the superficial inferior epigastric artery (SIEA) flap has been widely used as a bulky flap for soft tissue augmentation, reports on its use as a thin flap are limited. We present a case of complex nasal defect reconstruction using a free, thin SIEA flap.

Objectives: To report our experience with combined one-stage double-team maxillary sinus floor elevation (SFE) and endonasal endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) procedure for concomitant inflammatory sinonasal pathologies.

Material And Methods: Clinical records of all patients that underwent maxillary SFE in conjunction with endonasal ESS for the treatment of inflammatory sinonasal pathologies between 2011 and 2013 were retrospectively reviewed. All included patients had a sinonasal-related pathology that was first suggested by the referring physician and was later confirmed clinically and radiographically by our combined team comprised of otorhinolaryngologist and maxillofacial surgeons.

In syndromic craniosynostosis, such as Crouzon syndrome, midfacial hypoplasia can cause exophthalmos and concave facial profile. Though midfacial hypoplasia in Crouzon syndrome patients can be treated with midface advancement, known as a Le Fort II or Le Fort III osteotomy, such method can change nasal appearance and frequently fails to achieve class I occlusion after surgery. This report presents a case of an aesthetically and functionally successful midfacial augmentation using rib and cartilage graft along with orthognathic surgery (Le fort I and bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy) for patients with Crouzon syndrome.

Background: The cleft lip nose is a complex 3-dimensional (3D) midfacial soft tissue and bony deformity. The contribution of maxillary hypoplasia to the etiology of this deformity has often been implicated for the suboptimal results of surgical treatment. The dimensions of the maxilla in unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) have not been studied especially in relation to the volumetric and other asymmetries on the either side in unilateral clefts.
