[BACKGROUND] Trapezius hypertrophy is a significant aesthetic concern among women. Botulinum toxin has emerged as a potential treatment option for this condition. In this study, we conducted a prospective, randomized, double-blind trial to …

Scalp avulsion is a devastating injury. The best possible procedure is replantation. Several successful scalp replantations with anastomoses of several vessels in large defects have been reported. In this report, we present a case of replan…

[BACKGROUND] The purpose of this meta-analysis was to compare the surgical outcomes of head and neck reconstruction via free flap surgery, with neck vessels versus superficial temporal vessels as recipient vessels. [METHODS] The PubMed, Em…

[BACKGROUND] Botulinum neurotoxin type A (BTX-A) to the masseter muscle is a useful tool for the aesthetic narrowing of the width of the lower face. The administration of BTX-A to visible parotid glands is also effective to reduce lower fac…

This study aimed to present a novel markerless augmented reality (AR) system using automatic registration based on machine-learning algorithms that visualize the facial region and provide an intraoperative guide for facial plastic and recon…

In this study, the authors introduced a dual application of patient-specific occlusion-based positioning guide and fibular cutting guide to obtain ideal occlusal relationship and mandibular contour in patients undergoing mandibular reconstr…

[PURPOSE] This study aimed to compare the effects of motor-innervated free flap on sequential changes of swallowing function in patients undergoing total or near-total glossectomy with laryngeal preservation. [MATERIALS AND METHODS] The me…

In general, flap volume decreases over time and further in the case of a denervated muscle flap. In our institution, dynamic reconstruction, including functional muscle flaps, has been used to aid functional recovery in the past 6 years. Th…

[BACKGROUND] An adequate volume of the tongue flap is essential to preserve speech and swallowing functions. However, it is generally known that the volume of the free flap tends to decrease over time because of various reasons. Especially …

Klebsiella aerogenes is a nosocomial and pathogenic bacterium that causes opportunistic infections including most types of infections. After rhinoplasty, the inserted costochondral graft could be a good material for bacterial growth due to …

[BACKGROUND] The efficacy and safety of equine cartilage as a competent xenograft material for rhinoplasty were evaluated and compared to the outcomes of rhinoplasty using silicone implants. [METHODS] We performed a multicenter, double-bli…

[BACKGROUND] Because the tongue consists of 26 intrinsic and extrinsic muscles, even hemiglossectomy, which preserves some of the tongue and its muscles, leads to functional morbidity in speech and swallowing. Subsequent reconstruction usin…

[BACKGROUND] A practical application of three-dimensional printing technology has been considered a difficult area in rhinoplasty. However, the patient-specific three-dimensionally printed rhinoplasty guide based on the simulation program t…

[BACKGROUND] Recently, the mandibular body and chin shape are known to be important issue as well as the mandibular angle. The authors have performed the one-piece mandibuloplasty from the mandibular angle to the most anterior part of chin …

[BACKGROUND] The septal extension graft is currently the most commonly used primary and secondary rhinoplasty technique in Asia because it provides maximal tip projection and rotational controllability. The authors compared the tip projecti…

[BACKGROUND] A severely crooked nose due to trauma or other causes is difficult to correct. Although various nasal osteotomy techniques have been suggested, satisfactory outcomes have not always been achieved especially in centrally deviate…

[BACKGROUND] Regarding septal fixation in nasal tip plasty, the nasal tip tripod theory may require modification. We performed three-dimensional (3D) photogrammetric analysis of the "Skiff graft," which is a quadripod method involving folde…
