OBJECTIVES To develop a method to quantify nasal tissue resilience, to establish the normal range for persons without nasal obstruction, and to measure the changes in tissue resilience resulting from standard open rhinoplastic techniques. METHODS A new device is described that determines nasal tissue resilience. Measurements on the nasal tip were obtained in triplicate at 5 distinct anatomica...

background in rhinoplasty, functional and cosmetic problems of the nose are corrected. these problems cause imbalance between the nasal subunit and face. throughout these deformities, there are 4 variants, so there is a need for careful preoperative evaluation either for treatment or prevention of the occurrence. according to functional and aesthetic effects of these variables in rhinoplasty, e...

BACKGROUND In rhinoplasty, functional and cosmetic problems of the nose are corrected. These problems cause imbalance between the nasal subunit and face. Throughout these deformities, there are 4 variants, so there is a need for careful preoperative evaluation either for treatment or prevention of the occurrence. According to functional and aesthetic effects of these variables in rhinoplasty, ...

Orbital emphysema following rhinoplasty is an extremely rare complication. Only one case of sub-dermal emphysema was reported in the English literature following rhinoplasty directly in post-operative period and one reported case of sudden orbital emphysema during septorhinoplasty operation. A 29 year old male underwent open septorhinoplasty. Surgery was un eventful and no nasal packs were plac...

In this study we evaluated sensory alteration in nasal tip and adjacent upper columella (territory of external nasal nerve) after open rhinoplasty. Two groups were randomly selected, each containing 25 patients with thick nasal skin; sensory testing was done preoperatively in all patients; in group one, subdermal soft tissue in tip and supratip areas was removed but in group two no soft tissue ...

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...

Interest in liquid, or nonsurgical rhinoplasty, has increased demand as patients pursue less invasive techniques to achieve their aesthetic goals. Improved filler technology and refinement injection have made liquid rhinoplasty a reasonable choice for well-selected both primary revision cases. This article reviews nasal anatomy, techniques, selected applications, safety measures pertinent perfo...

INTRODUCTION Evaluation of surgery outcome measured by patient satisfaction or quality of life is very important, especially in plastic surgery. There is increasing interest in self-reporting outcomes evaluation in plastic surgery. OBJECTIVE The aim of our study was to determine patient satisfaction in regard to nose appearance and function with the use of a validated questionnaire, before an...
