introduction : open rhinoplasty is very common now a days and the number of candidate for this type of surgery are increasing. this research was conducted regarding to the prevalence of rhinoplasty surgery , the importance of the residual scar analyze including columellar scar after surgery, different results caused by the effect of incision type in this surgery and lack of enough data and expe...

Aim: The formation of scars on the face after open septorhinoplasty (SRP) with alar base reduction may disturb patient due to cosmetic concerns. This study aimed compare scar outcomes columella and in patients undergoing SRP.
 Material Method: Twenty-seven who underwent during primary SRP were divided into two groups according intervened area as Columella (CLM) group (n=27) Alar Base (AB) ...

BACKGROUND Among the various methods for correcting nasal deformity, the composite graft is suitable for the inner and outer reconstruction of the nose in a single stage. In this article, we present our technique for reconstructing the ala and columella using the auricular chondrocutaneous composite graft. METHODS From 2004 to 2011, 15 cases of alar and 2 cases of columellar reconstruction em...

There are a number of types of rhinoplasty techniques. It is clear that the open rhinoplasty approach has advantages in treating complex and difficult nasal deformities, because it allows a great range of nasal structures to be directly viewed. However, a transcolumellar incision may be troublesome [1]. The closed approach appears to be especially useful for simple nasal surgery. The surgeon’s ...

Columellar skin defects may be caused by excision of cutaneous malignancy, trauma, or tissue necrosis associated with surgery. Although columellar skin necrosis rarely occurs following rhinoplasty, this condition might be more common when using an external approach than a closed approach. Columellar skin incision performed with exaggerated tip augmentation may cause columellar necrosis. The nas...

Background: The external rhinoplasty approach is one of the methods in nasal surgery. The external approach can be advantageous by offering better exposure to a small surgical field. This approach allows the surgeon to better diagnose the deformity through inspection, to better execute certain maneuvers, and to teach and learn the operation with greater ease. A conspicuous columellar scar is re...

Highlights: The modified Millard technique, including the Tennison triangular flap, is effective in preventing vermillion notching and reducing scar complications cleft lip repairs. technique addresses concerns related to compromised tissue nostril deformities, leading improved appearance functionality. Scar thinning techniques separate nasoraphy contribute enhanced aesthetics optimal healing A...
