OBJECTIVE To describe the technique of intranasal Z-plasty and early results for this minimally invasive method to repair internal nasal valve collapse. Intranasal Z-plasty has been well described for nasal valve stenosis and cleft nasal deformities but poorly described for idiopathic nasal valve collapse, the most common indication for nasal valve surgery. DESIGN A retrospective medical reco...

Cleft lip and palate (CLP) is the most common congenital deformity of the oral cavity. Recently, nasoalveolar moulding (NAM) has evolved as a presurgical technique which reduces the severity of the oronasal defect. NAM improves the facial appearance and function by moulding the nasal cartilages, premaxilla, and the alveolar ridges before the corrective surgical procedures. Utilization of the NA...

To describe a new non-surgical method to correct both medial epicanthal fold and flat nasal dorsum simultaneously using subdermal filler injections. Six patients were injected with 0.8 to 1 ml of injectable Hyaluronic Acid or hydroxyapatite fillers. The mean follow up was 9 months (6-12 months). All patients demonstrated an immediate satisfactory aesthetic improvement that was observed till the...

Nasal septal surgery is one of the most common otolaryngology procedures performed, with rare occurrences of major postoperative complications. Oronasal fistula is a rare complication of septal surgery, with only few cases being reported in the literature. It is commonly caused by a congenital cleft palate, cleft palate surgery, traumatic injuries, infections, or neoplasms; however, it does not...

IMPORTANCE Nasal defects commonly are a result of removal of skin lesions, and reconstruction presents a cosmetic challenge to surgeons. Conventional thought and study results have held that cosmetic outcomes of local flap reconstructions may be superior to those of skin grafts. However, local flap reconstructions require more adjunctive procedures. We propose that in select cases, skin grafts ...

The nasal valve region plays a key role in nasal breathing. in the international literature, a variety of techniques have been described to rectify nasal valve compromise, but based on the present evidence it is impossible to counsel a patient as to which technique is most effective. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of surgery of the nasal valve through a hemitransfixion incisi...

It is undeniable that a significant number of patients who want to improve their facial appearance increasingly interested in non-surgical procedures. Without doubt, the use autologous fat could not be left out as magnificent alternative for nasal modeling simply because four influential factors: ease collection, compatibility, temporality results, and safety. This work describes an innovative ...
