Template for Diced Cartilage with Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) in Rhinoplasty: An Easy Solution for Millimetric Camouflage of the Full Dorsal Esthetic Unit
Facial Plast Surg DOI: 10.1055/a-2019-5433Dorsal irregularities are one of the most common issues in modern rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty surgeons propose placing interface grafts lining the hole dorsum to ensure a natural unoperated look. Diced cartilage embedded in Choukroun's platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) scaffold being one of the most recent innovations in the field. However, no method has been described to help with the creation of thin, malleable, and reproductive graft with millimetric precision using that technique. The senior author details his protocol and his experience with a newly developed template for the creation o...

Single-Step Full-Face Surgical Treatment of the Facial Profile
Facial Plast Surg DOI: 10.1055/a-2015-0853The present study was performed to describe how much affordable, feasible, and straightforward is the approach the authors called “single-stage full-face surgical profileplasty,” tailored to greatly improve the surgery of the facial profiling setting and achieve complete profile correction at the same time. From January 2010 to May 2019, 113 patients (95 females and 18 males; aged 19 − 63 years) were surgically treated for full-face profile amelioration. Profile correction was performed by using a combination of five procedures out of other various previously experienced:...

State of the Evidence for Facial Skin Cancer Reconstruction
Facial Plast Surg DOI: 10.1055/a-2008-2798This review provides a comprehensive presentation of the evidence available in facial reconstruction post-Mohs micrographic surgery. Given the large diversity in post-Mohs reconstruction, there are limited guidelines in the management of defects. The aim of the present work is to provide a review of the best evidence as it pertains to several considerations in facial reconstruction. Data suggests that Mohs micrographic surgery and many reconstructive procedures can be performed as outpatient procedures under local anesthesia, with narcotic pain medication only given in certain pati...

Evidence-Based Medicine for Mandible Fracture Repair: Current Controversies and Future Opportunities
Facial Plast Surg DOI: 10.1055/a-2008-2723Mandibular fractures are among the most common facial fractures resulting from trauma. The nature of the injury, involved facial structures, presence of associated injuries, the dental status of the patient, comorbid conditions, and psychosocial context all must be considered by the surgeon when planning the optimal treatment for these patients. While consensus exists for many aspects of the management of mandibular trauma, some elements remain controversial. Three such topics—antibiotic therapy, treatment of subcondylar fractures, and management of the third molar—remain parti...

Histology and Long-term Clinical Outcome of Crushed Cartilage with Double-layer Gelatin Sponge Membrane for Dorsum Refinement in Primary Rhinoplasty
This article demonstrates the ability to use autologous crushed cartilage grafts in rhinoplasty with rapid recovery and optimal nasal functionality without any tissue damage and allows its rapid rejuvenation. Eligible patients underwent primary rhinoplasty using autologous crushed cartilage graft followed by microscopy imaging of the grafted tissue after recovery. Tissue and cytological analysis using optical microscopy, transmission electronic microscopy (TEM), and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) showed complete viability of chondrocytes, formation of new collagen fibers, neo-perichondrium, neo-angiogenesis, and exhi...

The RhinoCEROS Guidelines: A Practical Tool for Reporting Nasal Anatomy on Computed Tomography Pertaining to Rhinoplasty
Facial Plast Surg DOI: 10.1055/a-2006-0916Cone-beam computed tomography (CT) is gaining popularity worldwide due to an increasingly diffuse and affordable in-office availability. It is becoming more commonplace for rhinoplasty surgeons to utilize this imaging as tool for preoperative assessment; however, there is inconsistency among radiologists commenting on specific structures of the nose or nasal cavity as there is currently no standardized reporting protocol. The goal of this article is to present clear guidelines for radiologists to report relevant nasal anatomy in the context of preoperative rhinoplasty evaluation. W...

Validation of the European Portuguese Language Version of the Standardized Cosmesis and Health Nasal Outcomes Survey
Facial Plast Surg DOI: 10.1055/a-2006-0807The Standardized Cosmesis and Health Nasal Outcomes Survey (SCHNOS) questionnaire is a tool developed to evaluate functional and aesthetic components of rhinoplasty. It is a reliable patient-reported outcome measure, not available in the European Portuguese language. Our goal was to translate and culturally adapt the SCHNOS questionnaire to the European Portuguese language. The questionnaire was forward and backward translated and culturally adapted to the European Portuguese language following international guidelines. The authors evaluated internal consistency, correlation, and r...

Comprehensive Assessment of Lower-Face Volume Reduction Using Laser-Assisted Liposuction as an Additive Procedure in Asian Rhytidectomy
This study aimed to examine the outcome of volume reduction of the lower face using laser-assisted liposuction (SmartLipo) at the time of rhytidectomy in Asians. There were 20 patients (Group 1) for whom only extended deep-plane rhytidectomy were performed, while extended deep-plane rhytidectomy with laser-assisted liposuction was performed on 42 patients (Group 2). This study was performed retrospectively. The FACE-Q questionnaire was given to evaluate the subjective result of the patient. Efficacy was evaluated by measuring the fat quantity at the midpoint and anterior border of the masseter muscle on each side by using ...

Functional and Aesthetic Outcomes of Septal Reconstructions: Results of a Prospective Longitudinal Outcome Study
Facial Plast Surg DOI: 10.1055/a-1995-1692In order to correct severe septal deformities, complete septal reconstruction is often required to achieve the desired functional and aesthetic results. Several different techniques have been described. Systematic evaluation of the long-term results is crucial to assess and improve the quality of these surgical techniques. A custom-built dashboard (the rhinoplasty health care monitor [RHM]) was used for prospective and longitudinal outcome evaluation of the septal reconstruction. The RHM includes the Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) scale for nasal obstruction and the Ut...

Management of Wide Alar Lobule Using Preservation Rhinoplasty Philosophy: Alar Coring Technique
Facial Plast Surg DOI: 10.1055/a-1987-3756A broad alar base disrupts nasal harmony and facial aesthetic balance and is an aesthetic concern for many patients. This wide appearance may be related to excessive nostril sill, alar flare, wide alar lobule, or a combination. Many techniques are described in literature to address the alar base with resultant scars to a variable degree. Management of alar lobule thickness is particularly challenging. Our technique presented here introduces a novel method to reduce the thickness of the alar lobule with excellent aesthetic outcome. [...] Thieme Medical Publishers, Inc. 333 Seventh A...

Septorhinoplasty and the Late Impact on Olfactory Function: A Review and Meta-analysis
Facial Plast Surg 2023; 39: 069-076 DOI: 10.1055/a-1979-8636Septorhinoplasty (SRP) is one of the most commonly performed procedures worldwide. There is a recognized debate about the impact of nasal surgery on olfactory function (OF). The study's objective was to assess the effect of SRP on late postoperative OF. A comprehensive review and meta-analysis were employed to assess OF after SRP. All the integrated studies used objective instruments to quantify OF before and after surgery. A literature search was conducted, and the selected works were evaluated, computed, and finally included in a meta-analysis. The risk of bias ...
