Nasal tip support: a finite element analysis of the role of the caudal septum during tip depression.

Manuel CT1, Leary R, Protsenko DE, Wong BJ.Author information 1Beckman Laser Institute, University of California Irvine, California, U.S.A.AbstractOBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: Although minor and major tip support mechanisms have been described in detail, no quantitative models exist to provide support for the relative contributions of the structural properties of the major alar cartilage, the fibrous attachments to surrounding structures, and the rigid support structures in an objective manner.

A new facial artery free-style perforator flap and conchal cartilage graft for one-step reconstruction of the alar defects.

Duzgun S1, Unlu E, Bali Y.Author information 1From the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Department, Ankara Numune Training and Research Hospital, Ankara, Turkey.AbstractThe nose is the most commonly affected area by basal and squamous skin carcinomas of the head and neck area (D'Arpa et al. J Plast Reconstr Aesthet Surg. 2009, 62:36-42). The nasolabial flap is a very well known local flap that provides excellent color and texture matches. However, its major drawback is that it requires a 2-stage procedure to restore an adequate nasal cheek groove (Karsidag et al. J Craniofac Surg. 2010;21:1887-1889). In the perforator flaps, there are numerous studies that describe flaps whose vascular supply depend on perforators from the fascial artery.We planned to harvest a perforator flap around the medial cheek area, which included one cutaneous perforator from the facial artery. Free-style facial artery perforator flaps and auricular conchal cartilage framework were performed in 9 patients who have alar defect due to malignancies.From September 2010 to December 2011, the free-style facial perforator artery flap was performed in 9 patients at the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Department of the Ankara Numune Training and Research Hospital, Turkey. The whole flap was used to reconstruct the whole alar unit, which includes cartilaginous tissues.Our aim is to define a one-stage reconstruction technique with a perforator-based flap. Our flap is supplied by a perforating branch of the facial artery. We develop this method because of its reliable vascularization, that is, the possibility of performing one-stage technique with sensation preservation.In conclusion, we strongly recommend one-stage reconstruction in any kind of alar region defect with this versatile facial perforator flap.

Augmentation rhinoplasty with custom-made S-shape silicone implant in Asians: A 15-year experience.

Chuangsuwanich A, Lohsiriwat V.Author information Department of Surgery, Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkoknoi, Bangkok, Thailand.AbstractBACKGROUND: Asians have low nasal dorsum, thick skin envelope, low defined alar cartilage, low projection of nasal tip and broad alar base. Augmentation rhinoplasty with silicone prosthesis has been performed with predictable results, but unfavourable results and complications still present. This series show techniques and results from single surgeon experience.
