[BACKGROUND] Unresolved facial asymmetry remains a common cause of postoperative dissatisfaction after rhinoplasty, and eyes are key determinants of asymmetric perception. Although the nose is considered the central pivot of facial developm…

[BACKGROUND] The choice of the deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap for breast reconstruction has increased. Three-dimensional (3D) models of DIEP flaps have been introduced with advances in 3D technology to assist the tedious in…

The Chicago Classification version 4.0 categorizes esophagogastric junction outflow obstruction (EGJOO) into 4 subgroups based on peristalsis patterns. Recent proposals introduce new terminology, grouping EGJOO with distal esophageal spasm …

[OBJECTIVE] To evaluate the accuracy of artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted soft tissue landmark identification (STLI) on serial lateral cephalograms (Lat-Cephs) of Class III patients treated with two-jaw orthognathic surgery across four …

[PURPOSE] To review the literature and identify the health-related quality-of-life (HRQL) outcomes that used a validated instrument in the assessment of upper blepharoplasty, blepharoptosis surgery, or combination surgery. [METHODS] A lite…

[OBJECTIVES.] The eyebrow is a frequently used landmark in rhinoplasty. While caution is advisable when relying on manipulated eyebrows as a reference, there is a lack of evidence regarding the use of unmanipulated eyebrows as a landmark. T…

: Dorsal humps and nasal deviation are common deformities in rhinoplasty. While existing classification systems characterize these deformities individually, their concurrent presentation complicates surgical planning. The aim of this study …

[BACKGROUND] Osteotomy is one of the most traumatic but critical procedures in rhinoplasty. A detailed preoperative analysis of the bony vault is essential to performing a successful osteotomy. [OBJECTIVES] This study aimed to analyze bone…

[INTRODUCTION] Treatment options for refractory neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) in children include botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) and augmentation cystoplasty (AC). Although BTX-A is accepted in contemporary pediatric urologic pract…

[OBJECTIVE] To investigate the pattern of accuracy change in artificial intelligence-assisted landmark identification (LI) using a convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm in serial lateral cephalograms (Lat-cephs) of Class III (C-III) …

[BACKGROUND] Assessing facial asymmetry is important to prevent unsatisfactory results in rhinoplasty. There has yet to be a consensus on reference lines for determining asymmetry. This study aimed to determine ideal reference lines to asse…

[OBJECTIVES] Nonsurgical rhinoplasty using threads has gained popularity in recent years. While the benefits of this procedure have been emphasized, possible complications and their management are not well-known. This study aimed to present…

[BACKGROUND] In this era of expanding life expectancy and popularity of aesthetic breast surgeries, more women are likely to live more years with their augmented breasts. Thus, consistent attention to general breast health is crucial, and p…

Periorbital emphysema is a well-known but very rare complication after rhinoplasty. Here, we present a case of periorbital emphysema presenting with diplopia and eyeball deviation after rhinoplasty. All symptoms disappeared spontaneously wi…

[PURPOSE] The incision for breast augmentation can be chosen from the transaxillary, inframammary fold, periareolar, or transumbilical approaches. While the inframammary fold approach is commonly used worldwide, the transaxillary approach i…

[BACKGROUND] The positioning of the nasal tip is as esthetically important as the tip projection when rhinoplasty is being considered. It is not uncommon for Asians to have a protruding upper lip and teeth that affect the nasolabial angle (…

[BACKGROUND] Asian noses are relatively small and flat compared to Caucasians; therefore, rhinoplasty procedures often focus on dorsal augmentation and tip projection rather than reduction in the nasal framework. Various autologous and allo…

[OBJECTIVE] To evaluate soft- and hard-tissue changes in the mandibular angle area after the administration of botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) injection to patients with masseteric hypertrophy by using three-dimensional cone-beam computed t…

[BACKGROUND] In breast reconstruction using implants after unilateral mastectomy, it is challenging to create a natural, ptotic contour, and asymmetry is a potential drawback. To achieve breast symmetry and an ideal shape for both breasts, …

[PURPOSE] To compare preoperative incision design markings between both eyelids in upper blepharoplasty. [METHODS] This retrospective study examined 22 patients who underwent bilateral upper blepharoplasty surgery resulting from senile der…

[BACKGROUND] Rhinoplasty surgeons are aware that the nasal profile differs according to body position, namely, the erect position in the consultation room vs the supine position on the operating table. It is not clear whether this differenc…

Maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) surgery, which is the most effective treatment modality for patients with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea with apparent skeletal discrepancies, has been modified in conjunction with segmental o…

[PURPOSE] Although there have been several studies of reduced airway space after mandibular setback surgery using the sagittal split ramus osteotomy technique, research on the risk factors for changes of the airway space is lacking. Therefo…

Fat necrosis of the breast is a benign inflammatory process that may be mistaken for cancer in clinical examination or imaging studies. Although its mammographic manifestations are well known, data from other imaging modes, particularly son…

Two kinds of botulinum toxin type A were clinically evaluated in rhytidectomy. Twenty Korean patients with facial wrinkles were fully assessed following treatments with random injections. The mean degree of wrinkles before the injections wa…
