Nasal Tip Contouring: Anatomic Basis for Management

Inverted V-Y and fibrofatty Flap technique for columellar lengthening and tip augmentation in adults post bilateral cleft lip nasal deformity

“…Columella is one of the nasal tip concretes is usually deficient in post cleft lip nasal deformity and has an aesthetic and functional defiance. 10 Author explained the technique in detail as it differs totally from other techniques in tackling the one of the main problems in post bilateral cleft lip nasal deformity. The short columella was lengthened by Y-V non scarred skin, as well as recycling the fibrofatty tissue to support the tip without strut and compared study results with all other techniques.…”

Standardizing a Compact Medical Photography System for Use in Facial Plastic Surgery

“…Lauren Michelle, BA, 1,2 Sina J. Torabi, MD, 1 Dana M. Hutchison, MSc, 2 Wolfgang Beumer, MD, 1 and Brian J.-F. Wong, MD, PhD 1-3, * Within the field of facial plastic and reconstructive surgery (FPRS), medical photography is paramount for preoperative and intraoperative planning, medicolegal documentation, and monitoring patient progress. [1][2][3] Despite its importance, properly obtaining medical photography can be a daunting task for surgeons, as most are not trained photographers. Thus, they must selfeducate themselves on camera gear and technical specifications to avoid causing visual distortions that can affect outcomes.…”

Narrowing the Wide Tip via Endonasal Approach

“…The goal for reshaping the broad tip is to reposition the tip-defining points, reorient the domes, and contour the lateral crura to achieve a more favorable orientation while maintaining structural integrity. [6][7][8] Central to the difficulty of achieving this goal is the tendency to sacrifice the balance and support of the tip-to-alar relationship at the expense of poorly supported narrow nasal tip which succumbs to the contractile forces of the healing process. 9,10 The surgical techniques for reshaping the broad nasal tip have gradually evolved throughout the history of rhinoplasty.…”
