BACKGROUND Nasal tip depression is associated with nasal valve collapse. The pull-up spreader high (PUSH) technique was developed to enlarge the nasal dorsum and upwardly rotate and define the nasal tip by lifting the domes. OBJECTIVES The authors reviewed a case series to assess the long-term effectiveness of the PUSH technique in improving nasal airflow and aesthetic outcomes. METHODS Thi...

Resection of cancer often involves the excision of underlying hard tissue, and some procedures in aesthetic rhinoplasty can be used in reconstructive nasal surgery to increase the margin of safety while still achieving an acceptable aesthetic and functional outcome. We have used techniques from aesthetic rhinoplasty to shape the nasal framework. Osteotomy and formation of the tip were used in 1...

BACKGROUND A supratip deformity can develop either congenitally or after a poorly executed rhinoplasty, as a result of fullness or convexity just above the nasal tip. OBJECTIVE In this article, the authors describe the causes of the supratip deformity and present their technique for surgical correction. METHODS A retrospective chart review was conducted for 62 consecutive patients (24 prima...

Introduction Hemangiomas are vascular malformations, with slow blood flow, that can occur in any part on the body. They are more common in women and, predominantly, are isolated lesions. The malformation does not spontaneously regress. Subcutaneous hemangioma is a rare variant with an aggressive growth pattern that sometimes recurs after excision. Objective Case report of a subcutaneous caverno...

OBJECTIVE This plain language summary serves as an overview in explaining rhinoplasty and to aid patients and clinicians in their discussion of expectations, planning care, and improving surgical outcomes. The summary applies to patients 15 years of age and older and is based on the 2017 "Clinical Practice Guideline: Improving Nasal Form and Function after Rhinoplasty." The evidence-based guide...

Introduction Although the psychological aspects of rhinoplasty have been fully investigated in the medical literature, the religiosity of rhinoplasty candidates has not been taken into consideration. Materials and Methods In this cross-sectional study, the religious attitudes of 157 rhinoplasty candidates were compared with those of 74 subjects who had not requested rhinoplasty. A domestic va...

D Daniel is to be congratulated for providing us with two very important studies on Middle Eastern rhinoplasty. This ethnic group represents a large proportion of rhinoplasty patients worldwide, so much so that popular media have recently dubbed Iran as the “nose job capital of the world.” Middle Eastern rhinoplasty patients demonstrate a complex array of nasal traits, which demands a thorough ...

Nasal dermoid sinus cysts are the most common congenital midline nasal lesion, accounting for 1% to 3% of all dermoid cysts, and 4% to 12% of all head and neck dermoids. Selection of the appropriate reconstruction technique, after dermoid resection, is important for treatment. Here we describe the successful management of a case with a nasal dermoid sinus cyst using an open rhinoplasty approach...
