[BACKGROUND] Alar nostril ring correction in patients with multiple previous surgeries is one of the most challenging procedures in reconstructive rhinoplasty. Assessment of patient satisfaction and the technique's failure rate is essential…

[BACKGROUND] Columellar incision techniques for multiply operated and/or severely compromised noses are critical in reconstructive rhinoplasty, because they impact both the final outcome and the risk of complications, such as wound dehiscen…

Aesthetic and functional problems related to a deviated nose are challenging to correct with rhinoplasty. To compare the outcome of rhinoplasty using nasal septal bone-cartilaginous units (BCUs) as measured by pre- and postoperative patien…

Nasal skin necrosis represents a severe rhinoplasty complication, potentially leading to nasal deformity and psychological distress. To assess the safety, nasal function enhancement, and esthetic satisfaction in individuals with a history …

[BACKGROUND] Various techniques are employed for septal perforation repair but success rates still vary. Numerous mucosal flaps are used for septal perforation closure; however, a scaffold is essential for proper positioning and enhanced mu…

[OBJECTIVE] The outcome of rhinoplasty was evaluated in patients undergoing tongue-in-groove technique (TIG) with and without septal extension grafts (SEG) placement for stabilization of nasal tip rotation. [SUBJECTS AND METHODS] Three hun…

[BACKGROUND] Isolated ala nasi cleft is a very rare anomaly that causes significant esthetic deformity. This anomaly is usually managed in pediatric patients, and the residual deformity is corrected as much as possible in additional stages.…

[BACKGROUND] Several surgical techniques used for rhinoplasty can change the upper lip form over the long term. By eliminating the membranous septum and causing dysfunction of the depressor septi nasi muscle and performing other maneuvers, …

This research study was designed to evaluate the aesthetic consequences of different dorsal augmentation techniques using diced cartilage on dorsal width and projection in rhinoplasty. Patients were assigned to three groups based on the dor…

[INTRODUCTION] The caudal extension graft is usually a cartilage graft that overlaps the caudal margin of the nasal septum. A combination of the caudal extension graft and the tongue-in-groove technique is used to stabilize the nasal base, …

[BACKGROUND] Nostril sill asymmetry is one of the most challenging problems in rhinoplasty. Some studies have been performed regarding nostril shape; however, no studies have been conducted on nostril shape in the Persian population. Additi…

[BACKGROUND] The thick-skinned nose is still one of the most challenging aspects of rhinoplasty. The possible effects of oral isotretinoin on cosmetic results of rhinoplasty in patients with thick nasal skin have been considered during rece…

[BACKGROUND] Insufficient septal cartilage is a common finding when performing revision rhinoplasty. Such cases require costal or conchal cartilage to be harvested, which is time consuming and brings the risk of morbidity. A new technique i…

[BACKGROUND] Reconstruction of the nasal midvault is an important component of successful rhinoplasty outcomes. Use of the autospreader flap is a beneficial technique for preserving the middle vault. In the present study, we evaluated the e…
