BACKGROUND Hump reduction in aesthetic rhinoplasty destabilizes the middle vault. Secondary maneuvers are necessary to avoid the long-term functional and aesthetic sequelae of middle vault collapse. We describe a new technique of reinserting the resected hump that combines (a) placement of the modified hump between the upper laterals and (b) bridging sutures between the upper laterals. METHOD...

Among facial esthetic surgeons, secondary rhinoplasty in adult cleft –nose deformities is considered to be one of the most challenging surgical interventions due to the congenital distortion of the cartilaginous and bony nasal pyramid, which compromises both nasal esthetics and function. It is generally accepted that the cleft-lip nasal deformity (CLND) is challenging; It is attempted to do thi...

UNLABELLED Rhinoplasty Outcome Evaluation (ROE) is an easy-to-use questionnaire that allows comprehensive assessment of rhinoplasty-related patient satisfaction. However, normal values for this questionnaire are not known. OBJECTIVE To translate and cross-culture adapt the Rhinoplasty Outcome Evaluation questionnaire to Brazilian Portuguese and to establish normality parameters. MATERIALS A...

Our study aimed evaluate patient regarding nose function. Objective: To the of patients who underwent rhinoplasty using Rhinoplasty outcomes evaluation (ROE) questionnaire determine impact age on outcomes. Patients Methods: A prospective ...

Rhinoplasty is one of the most common and challenging cosmetic procedures. One of the complications of rhinoplasty associated with dissatisfaction is nasal obstruction, which is often due to narrowing of the nasal valve area. Application of certain procedures such as turbinoplasty can prevent and correct this problem. This study aim was to investigate the effect of inferior turbinoplasty in red...

Rhinoplasty is indicated for improving nasal breathing, the appearance of the nose, mental well-being and self-confidence. In rhinoplasty, the most important factors are the surgeon's experience and sense of balance and beauty. Facial beauty is related to balance and the symmetry of different parts of the face, including the nose. Balance can be achieved by augmentation or reduction of the vari...

Optical magnification has become an essential tool in rhinologic practice, especially following the popularisation of endoscopic procedures for nasal sinus surgery. We describe the use of VITOM® technology in rhinoplasty, which to our knowledge has not been reported in the international literature to date. This approach to rhinoplasty markedly improves visualisation of the surgical field, there...

OBJECTIVE To describe the outcomes of dorsal augmentation rhinoplasty with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) implants in Southeast Asian patients from the Philippines. METHODS Retrospective review of 1054 patients. RESULTS Of the 1054 patients, 90.61% were women and 9.39% were men. One thousand eight patients (95.64%) underwent primary rhinoplasty; 46 (4.36%), secondary or revision r...

In contemporary orthognathic surgery, correcting the functional aspects of dentofacial deformities is our main focus, but, if the esthetic outcome is not improved, we often face serious patient dissatisfaction. Many adjunctive soft tissue procedures can be used to either enhance the esthetics of orthognathic surgical cases or overcome the deleterious effects of our surgical procedures. Procedur...
