Many methods have been described to reduce postoperative ecchymosis in rhinoplasty with tranexamic acid (TXA) remaining controversial. TXA remains a consideration for surgeons, however, may have serious side effects, including seizures, blood clots, and vision changes. A prospective study of primary rhinoplasty patients was performed from March 2019 to June 2019. Read More

Despite the great demand of aesthetic rhinoplasty in Asian population, it is difficult to obtain the lasting ideal tip projection along with lengthening of the nose due to the small and weak nasal septum. The shortage of available septal cartilage to work with is another major obstacle. A retrospective study was conducted between January 2017 and December 2019 in Seoul, Korea. Read More

Revision rhinoplasty presents several complex surgical challenges. Proper patient selection for revision rhinoplasty, along with thorough preoperative examination and surgical planning, is key to achieving ideal outcomes. Along with achieving a high level of understanding of primary rhinoplasty techniques, surgeons performing revision rhinoplasty must understand and diagnose deformities created by the primary surgery.

Silicone implant-based augmentation rhinoplasty or mammoplasty induces capsular contracture, which has been acknowledged as a process that develops an abnormal fibrotic capsule associated with the immune response to allogeneic materials. However, the signaling pathways leading to the nasal fibrosis remain poorly investigated. We aimed to explore the molecular mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of nasal capsular contracture, with a specific research interest in the signaling pathways involved in fibrotic development at the advanced stage of contracture.

Rhinoplasty is one of the most technically challenging aspects of facial cosmetic surgery. Various versions of predictive computer software have been developed to aid the surgeon in obtaining predictable results. In the rapidly progressing era of three-dimensional (3D) printing, we present an intraoperative technique that has enabled us to reliably monitor planned surgical changes to the nasal form.

Background: A solid tip support plays the fundamental role in augmentation rhinoplasty for East Asians. However, the soft tissue envelope is sometimes limited; the bilateral alae and mucosae cannot be transposed to consolidate the full course of the strut. A graft that serves for the ultimate purpose of elongating the valid length of the strut is therefore necessary. Read More

Vascular compromise leading to cutaneous loss following surgical rhinoplasty is a devastating complication. The objective of this review is to identify all reported cases in literature published in English and summarize the current evidence to identify the patients at risk of this complication following surgery. A comprehensive literature review using Medline and Embase databases was performed to capture all reported cases of cutaneous vascular compromise following rhinoplasty from database inception through September 2020.

Purpose: Individuals with unilateral cleft lip nasal deformity (uCLND) often require rhinoplasty in adolescence to correct nasal obstruction. The intent of this study is to identify sites of greatest nasal obstruction and evaluate the effects of isolated and combinations of simulated surgical procedures on these sites using computational fluid dynamics (CFD).

Methods: Computed tomography imaging of an adolescent subject with uCLND was converted to an anatomically accurate three-dimensional nasal airway model. Read More

Abstract: Acromegaly is a rare pathology linked to a pituitary adenoma responsible for excessive secretions of growth hormone and insulin growth factor 1 inducing an overgrowth of most tissues, especially those which are visible in the face. Main problem stands in the usual delayed diagnosis. The authors report the case of a patient operated twice of a rhinoplasty before and after the acromegaly diagnosis for a very excessive nose.

The short nose represents one of the greatest challenges in rhinoplasty. It is characterized by a reduced distance from the nasal radix to the tip-defining points, often associated with inadequate tip projection. Several techniques have been described for correction of short nose with the common objective of replacing and rebuilding the osteocartilaginous framework. Read More

Objective: This study was designed to analyze the clinical effect of autologous fat-granule transplantation in augmentation rhinoplasty and explore methods to improve the fat retention rate.

Methods: A total of 70 enrolled patients were randomly divided into 2 groups: the platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) combined with high-density fat transplantation group (combined group) and the conventional fat-granule transplantation group (control group; n = 35 in each group). In the combined group, an appropriate amount of autologous fat was extracted and centrifuged, and the lower layer of high-density fat was taken and mixed with PRF isolated from whole blood for autotransplantation.

Background: Facial feminization surgery (FFS) plays an instrumental role in the process of gender affirmation. These procedures are becoming increasingly appreciated for their ability to improve patient satisfaction and gender identity in a way that alleviates gender dysphoria and improves the quality of life. Despite the recent surge in popularity across the US, the current literature lacks evidence on the safety profile of combined facial feminization procedures. Read More
