Introduction: Although the psychological aspects of rhinoplasty have been fully investigated in the medical literature, the religiosity of rhinoplasty candidates has not been taken into consideration. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the religious attitudes of 157 rhinoplasty candidates were compared with those of 74 subjects who had not requested rhinoplasty. A domestic v...

Vascular diseases are a major threat to human health nowadays. Hypertension, cardiovascular disease and varicose vain disease including hemorrhoids, are now increasingly recognized as inflammatory diseases. The role of inflammation cytokines in the pathogenesis of these diseases is very important. The lamina propria in the nasal mucosa is rich in blood vessels and humoral mediators. Recurrent e...

: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a slow growing, locally destructive, malignant tumor of the skin. It derived from non- keratinizing cells that originate basal layer epidermis. After excision nasolabial flap, median forehead dorsal nasal glabellar flaps, bilobed cheek and craniofacial flaps are used for reconstruction. The Zitelli’s flap one most useful simple double transposition designed to mo...

Due to the prominent location of the nose, the most common facial traumas are nasal injuries. Although nasal traumas usually require staged intervention at a later period of time, in selected cases, primary reconstruction can be effective. A 20-year-old man who was referred from the emergency department with nasal trauma is presented. He reported a fall after feeling unsteady, which caused a di...

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...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Correction of the deviated nasal pyramid is frequently incomplete and may result in a sub-optimal surgical outcome. Precise anatomic analysis of the deformity and a thorough understanding of available techniques improve the surgical osteotomy. METHODS AND MATERIALS The advantages and disadvantages of the various osteotomy techniques are analyzed, based on the cadaver...

Unilateral nostril hypoplasia is an extremely rare congenital malformation of unknown etiology, and only a few cases have been reported in literature. Owing to variability and complexity of the deformity, surgical correction of unilateral nostril hypoplasia represents one of the most significant reconstructive challenges to reconstructive plastic surgeons. We report a 7-year-old Vietnamese chil...

In forensic biomechanics, most of us who provide expertise in this discipline have a large percentage of vehicle accident cases [1]. Certainly, as experts we appreciate unusual cases and new challenges outside the box of auto accidents. This specific case involved the defense of a bicycle seat manufacturer in a claim involving a middle aged man who reported that after an approximate 30 mile rid...
