The present study introduces an advancement and rotation flap that can be used for the reconstruction of surgical defects located in the malar region. The design is essentially a triangle containing the defect, where one line runs parallel to the lateral part of the nose along the nasolabial fold, while another starts at the same point and follows the dynamic lines of the malar region. In order...

Introduction: Investigators have drawn nasolabial angle using different soft tissue landmarks. This has created confusion among the orthodontic students and clinicians regarding its construction. Objective: To evaluate two commonly used methods of constructing the nasolabial angle in order to establish a single reproducible method. Materials & Method: Lateral cephalograms of 120 patients underg...

Seborrheic dermatitis affects the scalp, central face, and anterior chest. In adolescents and adults, it often presents as scalp scaling (dandruff). Seborrheic dermatitis also may cause mild to marked erythema of the nasolabial fold, often with scaling. Stress can cause flare-ups. The scales are greasy, not dry, as commonly thought. An uncommon generalized form in infants may be linked to immun...

Barbed sutures, either used alone in a closed approach or as part of an open face lift procedure, may be combined with malar implants, soft tissue fillers, chemical peeling, and laser resurfacing. Because cephalad cheek repositioning affects adjacent facial areas, results may include shortening of the lower eyelid distance, flattening of the nasolabial fold, elevation of the submalar tissue, im...

Nasolabial cysts are nonodontogenic cysts that occur beneath the ala nasi. Its pathogenesis is uncertain. Because the nasolabial cyst is a soft tissue lesion, plain radiographs are useless. CT and MRI should be evaluated. In this report, a nasolabial cyst is described including its features on ultrasonography (USG) and CT exams.

The dermal filler Princess VOLUME is a highly cross-linked, viscoelastic hyaluronic acid injectable gel implant used for aesthetic treatment. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Princess VOLUME in the treatment of nasolabial folds, an open-label uncontrolled, multicenter study was conducted. Forty-eight subjects were recruited who had moderate to deep wrinkles, according to the Modified Fitz...

The nasolabial fold (NLF) is among the most notable phenotypes of facial aging for aesthetic physicians. Previous studies have clarified three-dimensional structures NLF and verified their detailed composition. Reportedly has a reasonable heritability, but related genetic factors not yet been identified. In this study, we developed deep learning-based method to measure NLF, performed largest ge...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether autologously transferred human adipose tissue maintains viability in vivo for prolonged periods. DESIGN Six healthy female patients (mean age, 61.5 years; mean body mass index, 23.4 kg/m2) received autologous fat transplants from the gluteus to the nasolabial folds. Subcutaneous fat was sampled from facial and gluteal sites 4 times in 1 year. SETTING Private p...

BACKGROUND Rhinoplasty techniques to affect nasal tip rotation are well described. Cephalic alar trim is a powerful method for achieving tip elevation. Previous studies and texts provide aesthetic guidelines for nasolabial angles. Often, surgeon experience determines the degree of lower lateral cartilage resection to achieve optimal results. This study analyzes the change in tip elevation with ...

BACKGROUND Facial rejuvenation can be achieved using a variety of techniques. Since minimally invasive procedures for face lifting have become popular because of their convenience and short operating time, numerous minimally invasive surgical procedures have been developed. In this study, a nonabsorbable polypropylene mesh is introduced as a new face lifting instrument, with the nasolabial fold...
