 Materials Methods: The was carried out retrospectively in 165 ASA I-II patients aged 18-45 years who underwent rhinoplasty Department of Plastic Reconstructive Surgery. were grouped based on their scores scales. degre...

BACKGROUND Lower lateral crural deformities are common problems in rhinoplasty. The shape and position of the lower lateral crura directly influence the alar contour and external valve function. This study reviews an extensive experience with the lower lateral crural turnover flap, which represents a versatile and reproducible technique for correction of lower lateral crural deformities and imp...

Open rhinoplasty became the standard approach in primary rhinoplasty. There is no available literatures about planes of dissection whether; subcutaneous, sub SMAS or subperiosteal. Subcutaneous plane was studied in this study. It was found to be the most convenient plane of dissection, as it is safe, rapidly and easily performed. Nasal muscles are preserved which guarantee animated nose postope...

Spreader grafts (SGs) have been widely used for both aesthetic and functional reasons to prevent middle vault collapse and treat internal nasal valve insufficiency. Although SG precise fixation can be easily achieved in open rhinoplasty, the difficulties of SG placement in closed rhinoplasties can be discouraging. In the present report, we describe a new custom-made SG (called "rail spreader") ...

BACKGROUND Cosmetic rhinoplasty has great potential to change a patient's appearance. It also carries the very real risk of patient dissatisfaction and request for revision. Although there have been many published patient series studying various aspects of rhinoplasty, questions remain regarding revision rates, as well as risk factors for complications, dissatisfaction, and revision. OBJECTIV...

BACKGROUND Re-establishing nasal tip projection is one of the main objectives in secondary rhinoplasty. The columellar strut is used as a basic element for support and the septal cartilage graft as the first choice for reconstruction. Nevertheless, the septal cartilage is often missing in this category of patient because of previous surgery, obliging the surgeon to seek a safe, effective, and v...

The greatest challenge in primary aesthetic rhinoplasty is the application of advanced anatomical, aesthetic and ethnic principles to an individual case, thereby customizing the procedure to achieve the most natural result for the patient‐individualized treatment plan.[1,2] Specific factors to be noted during the preoperative assessment for the optimization of aesthetic results include the pati...
