Transoral Parotidectomy
Transoral parotidectomy allows for the management of parapharyngeal space tumors and accessory parotid gland tumors without the need for a transfacial/transparotid or mandible splitting procedure. It is a minimally invasive…
Challenging Rhinoplasty for the Cleft Lip and Palate Patient
Cleft lip and palate patients represent one of the most challenging groups of patients for septorhinoplasty, presenting as a complex surgical obstacle for even the most seasoned surgeons. These individuals…
Management of the Cephalic Positioning of the Lower Lateral Cartilage in Modern Rhinoplasty
Cephalic positioning of lateral cruras literally means that the cartilage does not support the nasal rim. Cephalic positioning is a relatively common anatomic variant of lower lateral cartilages that shows…
New Concepts in Nasal Tip Rhinoplasty
Cosmetic rhinoplasty involves surgical manipulation of the nasal cartilages, nasal bones, lining mucosa and extracartilaginous soft. The nasal tip is a complex composite arrangement of tissues. These structures are responsible…
Correction of the Overly Shortened Nose
The overly shortened nose can often be the result of previous rhinoplasty. The causes can include weakening or missing cartilage for nasal tip support as well as contraction and scarring…
Nasal Tip Deformities After Primary Rhinoplasty
Nasal tip deformities after primary rhinoplasty may occur, including the formation of bossae, a pinched nasal tip, and nasal tip ischemia. Because of the central location in the midface, even…
Correction of Septal Perforation/Nasal Airway Repair
Rhinoplasty is a double-edged sword regarding the functional nasal airway; it can enhance and improve the nasal airway if done properly, and can severely compromise the nasal airway if not…
Rhinoplasty with Fillers and Fat Grafting
Nonsurgical rhinoplasty is one choice for cases in which open surgery may be harmful, the deformity is not indicated to correct with open surgery, or in patients who have phobia…
New Horizons in Imaging and Diagnosis in Rhinoplasty
Three-dimensional (3D) surface imaging has found its place in aesthetic surgery globally. The first attempt to use 3D surface imaging technique in clinic was in 1944 by Thalmaan, who used…
Preservation Rhinoplasty for the Dorsum and Tip
By performing a preservation rhinoplasty, the surgeon can achieve natural and stable results by intraoperative replacement of resection with preservation and excision with manipulation of ligaments, cartilages, soft tissues, and…
Grafting in Modern Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is considered one of the most technically difficult surgical procedures because of the limited access and requirement for three-dimensional visual perception and manipulation. Grafting is an essential part of…
Preservation Dorsal Hump Surgery
Preservative dorsal hump surgery is an old approach that has revitalized recently. Preservation rhinoplasty aims to shape the existing structures instead of resection/reconstruction approaches. A thorough understanding of the applied…
