Can We Add Auricular Composite Graft to Our Rhinoplasty Armamentarium?

BACKGROUND The ala of the nose, with its particular texture and characteristics, poses both aesthetically and functionally intriguing challenges and is rather problematic regarding choices for reconstructive methods. Both flaps and grafts have been used to restore natural structure of nasal ala. The present study summarizes a ten-year experience of reconstructive surgery using small composite...

Tools for Asymmetry Recti cation in Shape

This paper considers the task of asymmetry rectiication. We start by giving various reasons why the possession of symmetry may be beneecial for designed shapes, and mention how various construction methods may produce shapes which are less symmetric than desired. We then consider how to make asymmetric parts symmetric, a process we call asymmetry rectiication. In detail, we break this process i...
