Comparison on functional and esthetic outcomes between single and combined surgery to crooked nose deformities.

Background: Nose deviation deformities pose a complex cosmetic and functional problem. The most common surgical intervention to manage such deformities is septorhinoplasty, typically performed by a plastic surgeon or a rhinologist. This study investigated the effect of a combined operation by a plastic surgeon and rhinologist, comparing them with those operations performed singlehandedly by a plastic surgeon.

Comparison Of Surgical Techniques Used In Post-Traumatic And Non-Traumatic Rhinoseptoplasty.

Introduction: The main goals of septorhinoplasty are to correct cosmetic and functional defects, which may occur in a patient with no history of previous trauma. As the most prominent facial feature, the nose has an increased risk of injury. Nasal fracture may eventually result in significant defects; posing challenges to the surgeon.

Secondary cleft lip rhinoplasty. Our experience of two decades.

Patients who underwent cleft lip surgery in childhood may develop nasal malformation later in life. Various procedures have been described to correct these malformations. This study aims to describe our surgical approach and assess the morphometric outcomes of secondary cleft-lip rhinoplasty performed at the plastic surgery department in Marseille between 2002 and 2022.

Impact of Gender-Affirming Rhinoplasty Techniques on Objective Facial Appearance.

Objectives: To evaluate the impact of transfemale gender-affirming rhinoplasty on nasal appearance as evaluated by common facial analysis measures.

Methods: Retrospective case series of patients undergoing gender-affirming nasal surgery at a single tertiary care center from March 2016 to July 2022. Pre- and postoperative photographs were analyzed, using iris width to normalize the measurements.

Ethnic Rhinoplasty in the Brazilian Population: Current Concepts.

Introduction: The large mixture of races in Brazil gives the nose its distinctive composition, which makes rhinoplasty difficult for these patients. Every patient should have their anatomy thoroughly examined on an individual basis, as there is no unique strategy that works for all situations.

Methodology: This is a narrative overview of the last 10 years' worth of literature that describes the ethnic traits of each nose, with a particular emphasis on the Brazilian nose, and talks about the major surgical approaches that can be applied in these situations.

Does the Webster's Triangle Preservation Really Matter? A Retrospective Analysis of the Low-to-Low Osteotomies in the Head of the Inferior Turbinates.

Background: Osteotomies are important maneuvers in the plastic surgeon's arsenal for the nasal dorsum treatment. However, there is a concern regarding a possible medialization of the inferior turbinate's heads and narrowing of the internal nasal valve if the Webster's triangle is not preserved.

Objectives: To analyze the mobilization of the inferior turbinates during primary rhinoplasty after lateral osteotomies.

Improving the Supraalar Groove Aesthetic Subunit and Lateral Crura Convex-Concave Deformity.

Background: Lateral crura surface problems are one of the most difficult challenges in nose tip surgery. Closed Preservation Rhinoplasty (CPR) is a revolutionary concept keeping nose tip flexibility and elasticity. Solving lateral crura surface problems and keeping tip flexibility the surgeon will accomplish a sharper supraalar groove transition between the dorsum and the tip.

Comparative Histopathological Analysis of Nasal Osteotomy Techniques in a Rabbit Model.

Nasal osteotomy is a crucial step in rhinoplasty, explicitly addressing the open roof deformity in nasal bones. This study aimed to assess and compare the recovery patterns associated with 4 distinct osteotomy techniques in a rabbit model. Twenty white New Zealand rabbits weighing 2.

Straightening Crooked Nose with Precise Bone Refining.

Crooked noses pose significant challenges in rhinoplasty due to their complex anatomy, particularly in the bony vault. Traditional methods focus on osteotomies but often do not equalize the lengths of the nasal bones. This study introduces a novel technique using otologic drills to address this problem by shortening the longer nasal bone and aligning the nasion-rhinion line at the midline.

Open-Roof Deformity: How to Avoid, How to Cure?

Of all the face surgeries, rhinoplasty is known to be the most difficult. The aim of this paper is to review open-roof deformity. PubMed, EBSCO, UpToDate, Proquest Central at Kırıkkale University, and Google and Google Scholar were used in the literature review.

Postoperative Pain and Perioperative Antibiotic Management in Functional Rhinoplasty.

Post-rhinoplasty pain control should use a multimodal regimen. Evidence suggests decreasing routine prescriptions of narcotics is reasonable for most individuals, and acetaminophen and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug combinations may be equivalent to as-needed opioids for postsurgical pain management. Preoperative pain counseling is important to set post-rhinoplasty pain expectations and reduce opioid use.

Functional and Cosmetic Considerations in Gender-Affirming Feminization Rhinoplasty.

Gender-affirming facial surgery is increasing in prevalence, and rhinoplasty plays an integral role in its success. The nose displays considerable gender dimorphism, and maneuvers performed during gender-affirming rhinoplasty may differ considerably from those performed during cis-gender surgery. During feminization rhinoplasty in particular, cosmetic goals often rely on reductive techniques such as osteotomies, dorsal reduction, sidewall narrowing, tip narrowing, and alar base narrowing.

Narrowing the Nasal Roof with Paramedial Osteotomy in Preservation Rhinoplasty.

Introduction: Rhinoplasty is frequently performed in aesthetic and plastic surgery, with hump deformity being common in Western populations. Osteotomies play a crucial role in managing this, especially for dorsal hump reduction in closed rhinoplasty.

Objectives: Despite advancements, treatments for simultaneous nasal hump deformity and wide nasal roof are inadequate in preservation rhinoplasty.

Wedge Osteectomy of Bony Cap in Rhinoplasty: Minor Nasal Bone Hump Reduction.

Background: Hump reduction with traditional ostectomy is an invasive procedure performed in aesthetic rhinoplasty. Natural and flawless nasal dorsum can be obtained with wedge ostectomy (WO) technique.

Objective: The objective of this study is to describe the nasal dorsum WO technique and examine its effectiveness in correcting nasal dorsum with absent and minor humps in patients undergoing aesthetic rhinoplasty.

Application of Submucosal Trans-Septal Suturing Technique in a Septal Extension Graft With Porous High-Density Polyethylene and Concurrent Nasal Lateral Osteotomy.

Background: Recently, a submucosal trans-septal suturing (STSS) technique was introduced to obviate the dead space of septum after septal extension graft (SEG) with porous high-density polyethylene (pHDPE).

Objective: To investigate STSS technique after SEG with pHDPE and concurrent nasal lateral osteotomy (LO).

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in 53 patients who underwent a STSS technique after SEG with pHDPE and concurrent LO.

Use of Perpendicular Plate of Ethmoid Split Technique in Rhinoplasty and Septoplasty.

In recent years, the perpendicular plate of ethmoid (PPE) has become a prominent choice for bone-grafting materials. This study introduces the PPE split technique for efficient removal of the bony septum or the harvesting of partial PPE for septal batten grafts in rhinoplasty and septoplasty, particularly suited for cases with thick PPE. Herein, this technique was employed to minimize septal defects and prevent complications while achieving harvested bony grafts of the desired effective thickness.

The impact of zygomatic buttress bone graft on nasal floor augmentation in unilateral alveolar cleft patients with late referral: A case series.

Purpose: This preliminary study aimed to assess the efficacy of zygomatic buttress bone grafting for nasal floor augmentation in patients with a unilateral alveolar cleft who were referred after the optimal timetable for this surgery had elapsed.

Case Series: Five patients, aged 12-18 years, with unilateral alveolar clefts were treated at Qaem Hospital, Mashhad, Iran. Initially, a mucous layer was established on the side of the cleft nose, followed by forming a bony bridge between the defect's sides through a bone graft derived from the zygomatic buttress and xenograft bone powder.
