background in rhinoplasty, functional and cosmetic problems of the nose are corrected. these problems cause imbalance between the nasal subunit and face. throughout these deformities, there are 4 variants, so there is a need for careful preoperative evaluation either for treatment or prevention of the occurrence. according to functional and aesthetic effects of these variables in rhinoplasty, e...

BACKGROUND: Nasal reconstruction remains one of the most challenging aspects of facial plastic surgery. Resurfacing of nasal defect should include a consideration of the principle of aesthetic subunits. Nasal defect can be reconstructed by local, regional, and distant flaps and the size and depth of the defects (partial or full thickness) are important for choosing the flap. Although nasolabial...

OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that midfacial asymmetry specifically relevant to nasal tip deviation will be reflected in the measured soft-tissue attachments of the ala to the face. DESIGN Retrospective photographic analysis of 35 consecutive patients seeking functional or aesthetic nasal surgery regardless of cause. RESULTS Nasal axis had a significant correlation with the alar-facial a...

Control of nasal tip contour has always been a key component of a successful rhinoplasty. Typically, this procedure is performed with an emphasis on narrowing the nasal tip structure. Creating a natural-appearing nasal tip contour is a complex task and requires a 3-dimensional approach. In an effort to identify the characteristics that make an ideal nasal tip, I evaluated numerous aesthetically...

One facet of nasoendotracheal anesthesia which rarely gets sufficient attention is that of providing adequate support for the weight and position of the gas delivery hoses on the intubated patient. This article describes a means of avoiding an iatrongenic lesion resulting from inadequate support of anesthesia hoses and the nasoendotracheal tube. Ulceration or necrosis of the nasal ala and/or of...

Accurate placement of intranasal incisions to achieve external alar symmetry is difficult. A detailed anatomical knowledge of intranasal anatomy is required to allow an appropriate incision to be made within the nasal vestibule. By marking the level of the intracartilaginous incision on the external surface using a pair of alice forceps, the marking is subsequently transferred onto the vestibul...
