Abstract
Purpose Soft tissue filler injection is less invasive than surgical approaches for facial aesthetic improvement. This study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of the soft tissue filler VYC-20L (Juvéderm Voluma® XC) for improvement of volume and aesthetic appearance of the nose in Chinese subjects. Patients and Methods In a prospective, multicenter, no-treatment–controlled study in China, adult subjects were randomized 3:1 to receive VYC-20L (treatment group) or have optional treatment delayed by 24 weeks (control group). The treatment group received VYC-20L on day 1 plus optional touch-up at week 8 for suboptimal improvement. The primary effectiveness measure was mean change in nose area volume from baseline to week 24 by digital analysis of three-dimensional (3D) images. Multiple secondary effectiveness and safety measures were assessed. Results Of 164 subjects randomized, 162 were treated, and 157 comprised the modified intent-to-treat population (mean age, 31 years; 94% female). In the treatment group, mean VYC-20L volume injected was 1.18 mL (initial treatment) and 0.67 mL (touch-up; n = 46 [38.3%]). VYC-20L achieved significantly larger changes in nose area volume than control at week 24 (2.032 vs ‒0.005 cm3, respectively; p < 0.0001) and greater improvements on the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (investigator and subject), Nose Satisfaction Scale, and other 3D measures. No treatment-related adverse events occurred. Most injection site responses were mild/moderate, resolving within 14 days. Mean initial/touch-up treatment procedural pain ratings were less than 3 (0‒10 scale; higher = worse pain). Conclusion VYC-20L is safe and effective for nose augmentation in Chinese adults.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the effect of education before rhinoplasty surgery on patients' anxiety, pain, and satisfaction levels. DESIGN This was a randomized controlled experimental study. METHODS Of the 90 patients who underwent rhinoplasty surgery at Kayseri City Hospital, Turkey between October 2017 and December 2018, 79 were included in the study. The patients were assigned to an experimental or control group according to a computer-generated randomization list. The experimental group (n = 36) was educated using a rhinoplasty training guide prior to routine plastic surgery procedures. The control group (n = 35) received only routine plastic surgery procedures. A patient identification form, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Newcastle Satisfaction with Nursing Care Scale, and Visual Analog Scale were used to collect data. Data analysis included the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, Q-Q plot, two-way analysis of variance, Friedman and Mann-Whitney U tests, and Pearson's chi-square. FINDINGS In the postoperative period, the mean state anxiety inventory score of the experimental group (36.25 ± 9.78) was found to be significantly lower than that of the control group (42.28 ± 9.42) (P < .05). There was no statistically significant difference between the trait anxiety inventory scores of the experimental (39.63 ± 10.20) and control (38.77 ± 6.16) (P > .05) groups. The mean Newcastle Satisfaction with Nursing Care Scale score of the experimental group (71.01 ± 14.65) was significantly higher than the control group (62.93 ± 16.36) (P < .05). There was no significant difference between the pain scores of experimental and control groups postoperatively at 6, 12, and 24 hours (P > .05). CONCLUSIONS Based on the results of our study, we conclude that it would be beneficial to educate patients before rhinoplasty surgery in line with their needs and aesthetic concerns.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the outcomes of using a novel nasal clip designed for nostril retention after primary unilateral cleft rhinoplasty. DESIGN This is a retrospective study. SETTING Department of Cleft Lip and Palate in a stomatological hospital. PATIENTS A retrospective study was conducted on 57 patients who had a unilateral complete cleft lip without cleft palate and underwent primary surgical repair. INTERVENTIONS The patients were categorized into 3 groups: the group in which the conventional nasal retainer was used, that in which the nasal clip was used, and the control group in which no postoperative nasal retainer was used. The nasal retainer or our nasal clip was applied 7 days after primary surgical repair and kept in the nostrils of children from 6 to 12 months. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Noses underwent photogrammetry preoperatively, postoperatively, and at follow-up. The nose was also subjectively scored at the follow-up. RESULTS The nasal retainer and the nasal clip significantly minimized relapse as determined by nasal tip deviation. The nasal clip sustained nasal symmetry, as determined by the postoperative nostril width ratio, better than did the conventional retainer. After 6 to 12 months, the nasal clip achieved better columellar morphology and a more symmetric nasal base than did the conventional nasal retainer. Statistical differences in subjective scores between the control and nostril retention groups were noted. CONCLUSION The application of the novel nasal clip after primary unilateral cleft rhinoplasty preserves nasal morphology and reduces postoperative relapse without the need for adhesive tape.

Abstract
PURPOSE The need for customized implants has continuously increased, but patient-specific silicone implants are not yet commonly used in the plastic surgery market. We sought to validate the effectiveness of a 3D customized nasal implant design in terms of design and lead time compared with a manually customized implant by a surgeon. MATERIALS AND METHODS Based on the computed tomography (CT) findings of 15 patients who planned rhinoplasty, a surgeon wrote order forms reflecting the surgical plan and subsequently designed implants manually using epoxy on a 3D printed skull. Separately, engineers analyzed the CT findings and designed 3D implants based on the order forms. RESULTS Epoxy designs were 3D-scanned, converted into a stereolithography format and compared with 3D implant designs to assess which method had a smaller margin of error as per the preoperative order form. Moreover, the lead time in all steps are compared. Nasion thickness, tip thickness, glabella starting point, glabella width, radix width, and total volume were comparatively analyzed. In all parameters, the error rate of the 3D design is relatively lower than that of the epoxy design. The former also had a lower total volume and a faster manufacturing time. CONCLUSION With novel 3D customized nasal implants, the limitations of ready-made silicone implants are addressed, and it is now possible to preoperatively design implants more accurately, quickly, and conveniently.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To the best of our knowledge, there is currently no such study in the area of extensive calcified costal cartilage rhinoplasty. The study evaluated patients' satisfaction with extensive calcified costal cartilage compared with no calcified costal cartilage. METHOD Thirty-five patients with extensive calcified costal cartilage underwent rhinoplasty at our institution between January 2018 and May 2020. We also used a control group of 35 patients with absent rib cartilage calcification to compare the outcomes. Satisfaction was evaluated by the photogrammetric measurements and Rhinoplasty Outcomes Evaluation (ROE) scale. RESULTS We found no significant difference in the nose measurement between the two groups before and after the operation. Besides, both groups had a significant difference in comparison with preoperative after surgery except for the nasofrontal angle. The difference between preoperative and postoperative ROE scores was statistically significant in both groups. We also compared the satisfaction of preoperative and postoperative outcomes between the two groups, where no difference was found between them. Each group had a patient who occurred an infection after surgery. CONCLUSION Autologous costal cartilage provides the most abundant source for graft fabrication. Patients with extensive calcified cartilage could undergo rhinoplasty and have satisfactory results instead of choosing an artificial implant.

Abstract
Importance
Preoperative imaging provides an advantageous balance by helping patients to effectively communicate their aesthetic desires while allowing surgeons to establish realistic expectations of surgical outcomes.
Objective
To determine the role of preoperative imaging and the importance of online-based photo galleries in influencing a patient's decision to pursue cosmetic facial plastic surgery.
Design, Setting, and Participants
A retrospective study was conducted on 100 patients who underwent preoperative imaging prior to undergoing aesthetic facial plastic surgery from July 2019 to May 2020. An in-office physician-led clinical consultation followed by a preoperative imaging session was performed on each patient prior to surgical intervention. A 6-question survey was provided once to all patients between their 3- and 12-month postoperative time periods.
Main Outcomes and Measures
The importance of preoperative imaging and the influence of physician website and social media photo galleries regarding surgical decision-making was evaluated.
Results
A total of 100 participants (female [90; 90%]) and mean age 52.6 (range, 18–77) years were included. Nearly 60% of patients underwent facial rejuvenation procedures. All reported that preoperative in-office physician consultation in combination with the use of preoperative imaging were helpful in facilitating a commitment to surgical intervention. Sixty-nine (69%) patients endorsed the use of both the frontal and lateral imaging views, while 30 (30%) deemed a single angle to be superior. Seventy (70%) participants utilized online-based “before & after” photo galleries in the form of physician websites and/or social media platforms to assist in their decision to undergo surgical intervention.
Conclusions and Relevance
The combination of in-office physician consultation, preoperative imaging, and availability of website and/or social media photo galleries plays a key role in a patient's decision to pursue cosmetic surgery. Thus, implementation of all facets should become an integral part of any facial plastic surgeon's aesthetic practice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To validate the modified Rhinoplasty Assessment Scale (Photographic) (mRASP). STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. METHODS Study design-Photographs for 100 rhinoplasty patients from 2 facial plastic surgeons were compiled. Photos included 6 views. Each facial plastic surgeon reviewed all views. Nasal appearance was evaluated using the mRASP. Statistical analysis-A validation study was conducted, including descriptive statistics, reliability, and construct validity. Mean and standard deviations were used to describe the scores. RESULTS Eighty female (mean RASP score = 14.89, SD = 7.04) and 20 male (mean RASP score = 19.83, SD = 10.09) patients were included. The mean of the total score on the instrument was 15.88 (SD = 7.98). Cronbach's alpha was .81, and inter-rater reliability measured as a Pearson product-moment correlation was .74. The CFA model fit the frontal view (χ2 = 32.47 (P = .04), CFI = .99, TLI = .99, RMSEA = .05, SRMR = .05), basal view (χ2 = 4.55 (P = .33), CFI = .98, TLI = .96, RMSEA = .03, SRMR = .23), and lateral view (χ2 = 39.52 (P = .40), CFI = 1.0, TLI = 1.0, RMSEA = .0, SRMR = .05) data well. CONCLUSION The mRASP is a reliable instrument that can be used to assess nasal form via frontal, lateral, and basal photographs of patients. This provides facial plastic surgeons with a validated tool to evaluate rhinoplasty outcomes.

Abstract
Rhinoplasty and surgical reconstruction of cartilaginous structures still remain a great challenge today. This study aims to identify an imaging strategy in order to merge the information from CT scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) acquisitions and build a 3D printed model true to the patient's anatomy, for better surgical planning. Using MRI, information can be obtained about the cartilage structures of which the nose is composed. Ten rhinoplasty candidate patients underwent both a low-dose protocol CT scan and a specific MRI for characterization of nasal structures. Bone and soft tissue segmentations were performed in CT, while cartilage segmentations were extrapolated from MRI and validated by both an expert radiologist and surgeon. Subsequently, a 3D model was produced in materials and colors reproducing the density of the three main structures (bone, soft tissue, and cartilage), useful for pre-surgical evaluation. This study has highlighted that the optimization of a CT and MR dedicated protocol has allowed to reduce the CT radiation dose up to 60% compared to standard acquisitions with the same machine, and MR acquisition time of about 20%. Patient-tailored 3D models and pre-surgical planning have reduced the mean operative time by 20 minutes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human cadaveric allograft (HCA) and costal cartilage autograft (CCA) have been described for reconstruction during rhinoplasty. Neither are ideal due to infection, resorption, and donor site morbidity. The clear superiority of 1 graft over the other has not yet been demonstrated. This study assesses comparative costs associated with current grafting materials to better explore the cost ceiling for a theoretical tissue engineered implant. MATERIALS AND METHODS A cost utility analysis was performed. Initial procedure costs include physician fees (CPT 30420), hospital outpatient prospective payments, ambulatory surgical center payments, and fees for the following: rib graft (CPT 20910), hospital observation, and DRG (155) for inpatient admission. Additional costs for revision procedure, included the following fees: physician (CPT 30345), rib graft, hospital outpatient prospective payment, and ambulatory surgical center payments. Total costs under each scenario were calculated with and without the revision procedure. Comparison of total costs for each potential outcome to the estimated health utility value allowed for comparison across rhinoplasty subgroups. RESULTS The mean cost of primary outpatient rhinoplasty using HCA and CCA were $8075 and $8342 respectively. Revision outpatient rhinoplasty averaged $7447 and increased to $8228 if costal cartilage harvest was required. Hospital admission increased the cost of primary rhinoplasty with CCA to $8609 for observational admission and to $13653 for 1 day inpatient admission. Revision CCA rhinoplasty with an inpatient admission complicated by pneumothorax increased costs to $21 099. CONCLUSION Cost of rhinoplasty without hospitalization was similar between HCA and CCA and this cost represents the lower limit of a practical cost for an engineered graft. Considering complications such as need for revision or for admission after CCA due to surgical morbidity, the upper limit of cost for an engineered implant would approximately double.

Abstract
Introduction: Concave lower lateral cartilages not only cause an esthetic defect but can also lead to external nasal valve insufficiency. The objective of this article is to analyze the combination of two well-known surgical techniques: turning over the alar cartilages as well as the addition of grafts in order to obtain satisfying esthetic and functional long term results. Materials and methods: From August 2016 to July 2018, 62 rhinoplasties, a combination of both primary and revision cases, were performed at the Rouen University Hospital in France. Six of these involved the correction of concave alar cartilages. The turnover technique alone or in combination with Batten grafts was performed. Results: Immediate and 3-months post-operative esthetic results using the turnover flap technique were satisfactory. Alar batten grafts were occasionally employed in order to maintain the newly positioned alar cartilages and avoid long-term contour depressions. Conclusion: The combination of these two techniques seems to be an interesting solution to maintain long-term esthetic results.

Abstract
On account of the poor biocompatibility of synthetic prosthesis, millions of rhinoplasty recipients have been forced to choose autologous costal cartilage as grafts, which suffer from limited availability, morbidity at the donor site and prolonged operation time. Here, as a promising alternative to autologous costal cartilage, we developed a novel xenogeneic costal cartilage and explored its feasibility as a rhinoplasty graft for the first time. Adopting an improved decellularization protocol, in which the ionic detergent was substituted by trypsin, the resulting decellularized graft was confirmed to preserve more structural components and better mechanics, and eliminate cellular components effectively. The in vitro and in vivo compatibility experiments demonstrated that the decellularized graft showed excellent biocompatibility and biosecurity. Additionally, the functionality assessment of rhinoplasty was performed in a rabbit model, and the condition of grafts after implantation was comprehensively evaluated. The optimized graft exhibited better capacity to reduce the degradation rate and maintain the morphology, in comparison to the decellularized costal cartilage prepared by conventional protocol. These findings indicate that this optimized graft derived from decellularized xenogeneic costal cartilage provides a new prospective for future investigations of rhinoplasty prosthesis and has great potential for clinical application.

Abstract
PURPOSE Optimal correction of the cleft nasal deformity remains challenging. The purpose of this study was to examine the practice patterns and postoperative course of patients undergoing cleft lip repair with rhinoplasty compared to those who have primary lip repair without rhinoplasty. METHODS AND MATERIALS A retrospective cohort study was conducted based on the Kids' Inpatient Database. Data were collected from January 2000 to December 2011 and included infants aged 12 months and younger who underwent cleft lip repair. The predictor variable was the addition of rhinoplasty at primary cleft lip repair. Primary outcome variables included hospital setting, year, and admission cost, while secondary outcome variables included length of stay and postoperative complication rate. Independent t-tests and chi-squared tests were performed. Continuous variables were analyzed by multiple linear regression models. RESULTS The study sample included 4559 infants with 1422 (31.2%) who underwent primary cleft rhinoplasty. Over time, there was a significant increase in the proportion of cleft lip repairs accompanied by a rhinoplasty (p < .01). A greater proportion of patients with unilateral cleft lips received simultaneous rhinoplasty with their lip repairs (33.8 vs 26.0%, p < .01). This cohort had a significantly shorter length of stay (1.6 vs 2.8 days, p < .01) when compared to children that underwent cleft lip repair alone. CONCLUSIONS Performing primary cleft rhinoplasty is becoming more common among cleft surgeons. Considering comparable costs and complication rates, a rhinoplasty should be considered during the surgical treatment planning of patients with cleft nasal deformities.

Abstract
Objective Normative values of patient-reported outcome instruments are needed to identify good candidates for rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty Outcome Evaluation (ROE) and Functional Rhinoplasty Outcome Inventory-17 (FROI-17) are disease-specific questionnaires that evaluate quality of life in patients undergoing rhinoplasty. Methods The reference cohort contained 1,000 participants, selected from a non-probability panel. Normative ROE and FROI-17 scores from this reference cohort were compared with ROE and FROI-17 scores from a patient cohort before (n = 104) and 6 (n = 55) and 12 months (n = 32) after septorhinoplasty. Results Mean FROI-17 scores (± SD) were: overall score, 20.8 ± 17; nasal symptoms, 16.8 ± 7; general symptoms, 24.8 ± 22; and self-confidence, 16.4 ± 21. The ROE total score was 73.1 ± 16. Normative values differed significantly from the preoperative ROE and FROI-17 scores of septorhinoplasty patients (p < 0.01). Except for the FROI-17 general score at 12 months postoperatively (p = 0.004), there were no significant differences between normative ROE/FROI-17 and septorhinoplasty scores postoperatively, indicating that they returned to normalcy. Conclusions Normative scores for ROE and FROI-17 provide a reference point from which to identify patients who are most likely to benefit from rhinoplasty.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Augmentation rhinoplasty with autologous fat grafting is a useful procedure to meet the demand for facial harmonization in the Asian population. We used this procedure during orthognathic surgery to address inadequate dorsum projection. This prospective study was conducted to determine the fat retention rate in patients undergoing simultaneous autologous fat injection augmentation rhinoplasty and orthognathic surgery. METHODS Nineteen patients were treated with simultaneous bimaxillary orthognathic surgery and autologous fat grafting of the nasal dorsum and tip. The paired t test was used to compare the nasal volumes before and at least 6 months after surgery measured by 3-dimensional computer tomography scans. All measurements were performed twice by the same evaluator at least 2 weeks apart for intrarater consistency. RESULTS Seventeen patients completed the study. The volume means before and after surgery were 22.3 ± 4.6 cm3 and 23.3 ± 4.7 cm3, respectively, with a mean difference of 1.0 ± 0.3 cm3 (P < .001). The mean retention rate was calculated to be 50.5% ± 7.0% (range: 40.5%-64.7%). Intrarater consistency was high with a Cronbach α of .97 (P < .001) and .98 (P < .001), respectively. CONCLUSION This prospective study provides objective graft retention measurements for fat injection augmentation rhinoplasty combined with orthognathic surgery. All patients were satisfied with the results and no complications or additional morbidity was noted in the postoperative course. We consider this procedure to be a safe, reliable, and powerful adjunct to improve the aesthetic results of orthognathic surgery.

Abstract
Objectives: To carry out translation, cross-cultural adaptation, and validation of the rhinoplasty outcome evaluation (ROE) into Arabic. Methods: This non-randomized, prospective study included 50 patients from the Otorhinolaryngology Department, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia who underwent primary rhinoplasty from January to October 2020 and a control group of 89 healthy individuals. The reliability of the Arabic (ROE) was tested using Cronbach’s alpha. The test-retest reliability was assessed by estimating the intra-class correlation coefficient for the total Arabic (ROE) score and individual items. Discriminant validity was used to examine the validity of the Arabic (ROE) by comparing the scores of the patients and the control group. The Friedman test was used to measure differences in Arabic (ROE) ratings within the study patients’ group, including preoperative, and 2 weeks, and 3 months postoperative ratings. Results: The internal consistency and reliability of the Arabic (ROE) were good. There was a significant difference in ratings between rhinoplasty patients and the control group regarding both the individual questions and total scores. Significant improvement was observed in the patient group ratings at 2 weeks and 3 months postoperatively compared to the preoperative rating (p<0.0001). Conclusions: The Arabic version of the (ROE) showed good reliability and validity and can be used in the assessment of rhinoplasty outcomes in the Arabic population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Three-dimensional assessment of nasal morphology in patients with unilateral cleft lip nose treated by cartilage graft augmentation. DESIGN Retrospective study. PATIENTS AND INTERVENTION Thirteen patients with unilateral cleft lip nose underwent definitive secondary rhinoplasty and postsurgical changes were examined using a three-dimensional (3D) laser scan. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Nasal dorsum length, nasal tip, alar width, and alar base width in frontal view; nasion depth, nasal tip projection, nasal dorsal angle, and nasal tip angle in lateral view; nostril width, nostril height, and nasal tip height in basal view were measured at preoperative (T1: within 6 months), short follow-up (T2: 2-10 weeks), and long follow-up (T3: 9-14 months). RESULTS A significant change in alar width, alar base width, nostril width, and nostril height at the cleft side, nasal dorsum length, nasion depth, nasal tip projection, and nasal tip height was observed from T1 to T3 follow-up after rhinoplasty (P < .05), whereas the nostril height at the noncleft side was also significantly increased at T2 follow-up but the mean change in height relapsed at T3 follow-up. Alar width, alar base width, and nostril width at the noncleft side, and nasal tip angle did not change significantly after surgery at any follow-up period. CONCLUSIONS 3D imaging evaluation after secondary cleft rhinoplasty demonstrated improved functional and aesthetic outcomes using a septal or conchal graft.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Frontonasal dysplasia (FND) is a rare congenital condition. Its major features include hypertelorism, a large and bifid nasal tip, and a broad nasal root. We present our technique of septal L-strut reconstruction using costal cartilage. DESIGN Retrospective review from June 2008 and August 2017. METHODS Under general anesthesia, 6 patients with FND underwent septal reconstruction using costal cartilage via open rhinoplasty. We reconstructed the nasal and septal cartilaginous framework by placing columellar struts and cantilever-type grafts. RESULTS The patients ranged in age from 6 to 13 years old. All were female. The follow-up period ranged from 8 months to 2 years; we encountered no postoperative complications (infection, nasal obstruction, or recurrence). All patients were satisfied with their nasal appearance. CONCLUSIONS Although the results were not entirely satisfactory from an esthetic point of view, we found that FND can be treated via septal reconstruction with costal cartilage and that the clinical outcomes are reliable and satisfactory. Our approach is a useful option for FND patients.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of autologous costal cartilage-based open rhinoplasty in the correction of secondary unilateral cleft lip nasal deformity. Methods Between January 2013 and June 2020, 30 patients with secondary unilateral cleft lip nasal deformity were treated, including 13 males and 17 females; aged 14-41 years, with an average of 21.7 years. Among them, 18 cases were cleft lip, 9 cases were cleft lip and palate, and 3 cases were cleft lip and palate with cleft alveolar. The autologous costal cartilage-based open rhinoplasty was used for the treatment, and the alar annular graft was used to correct the collapsed alar of the affected side. Before operation and at 6-12 months after operation, photos were taken in the anteroposterior position, nasal base position, oblique position, and left and right lateral positions, and the following indicators were measured: rhinofacial angle, nasolabial angle, deviation angle of central axis of columella, nostril height to width ratio, and bilateral nasal symmetry index (including nostril height, nostril width, and nostril height to width ratio). Results The incisions healed by first intention after operation, and no complications such as acute infection occurred. All 30 patients were followed up 6 months to 2 years, with an average of 15.2 months. During the follow-up, the patients' nasal shape remained good, the tip of the nose and columella were basically centered, the back of the nose was raised, the collapse of the affected side of nasal alar and the movement of the feet outside the nasal alar were all lessened than preoperatively. The basement was elevated compared to the front, and no cartilage was exposed or infection occurred. None of the patients had obvious cartilage absorption and recurrence of drooping nose. Except for the bilateral nostril width symmetry index before and after operation, there was no significant difference ( t=1.950, P=0.061), the other indexes were significantly improved after operation when compared with preoperatively ( P<0.05). Eleven patients (36.7%) requested revision operation, and the results were satisfactory after revision. The rest of the patients' nasal deformities were greatly improved at one time, and they were satisfied with the effectiveness. Conclusion Autologous costal cartilage-based open rhinoplasty with the alar annular graft is a safe and effective treatment for secondary unilateral cleft lip nasal deformity.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Total nasal reconstruction is a unique plastic surgery challenge of the highest order. The history of nasal reconstruction dates back to ancient times and it remains a fundamental challenge today. This article reviews the historical context of nasal reconstruction, and highlights how the essential tenets of this art have been conserved over millennia. RECENT FINDINGS The disfiguring and brutal practice of nasal amputation created a demand for 'nosemakers' in India since 1500 BC. In 600 BC, Sushruta described the use of a leaf to make a template of the wound, and a cheek flap to supply tissue. In the 1400-1500s, the Italians relied on similar flap concepts, but employed a pedicled arm flap for soft tissue coverage. Eventually, the forehead flap, or 'Indian method' of nasal reconstruction, made its way to Europe in the 1800s. Its use has been a fundamental component of nasal reconstruction to this day. SUMMARY Knowledge of the unique history of nasal reconstruction permits appreciation of this surgical integration of art and science. The story of nasal reconstruction has been one of global contribution and creativity that has stood the test of time.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to observe the effect of the triamcinolone acetonide injections in thick skinned patients with ultrasonographic measurements and to compare these results with the postoperative nasal skin thickness of patients that were not injected with steroids. METHODS A prospective study was planned with 42 thick nasal skinned rhinoplasty candidates in our clinic. Skin thickness of specific points along nose was measured and documented. On the 10th day after surgery, triamcinolone acetonide injections were performed into the supratip region of 21 patients in the study group. No injections were made for the control group. Nasal ultrasonographic measurements were repeated 40 days after the surgery for all 42 patients by the same radiologist and results were evaluated. RESULTS Seventeen women (40.5%) and 25 men (59.5%) were included in the study. Patients' ages ranged from 18 to 53 with an average age of 27.9. In study group, all injections sites showed thinning on the 40th day after surgery. These findings were statistically significant at B (rhinion), D (middle of supratip), and G (middle of the tip). In the control group, all injection sites except A (nasion) displayed thickening on the 40th day after surgery. These findings were statistically significant at B (rhinion), D (middle of supratip), H (left side of the tip), and J (left alar region). CONCLUSION Triamcinolone acetonide injections are effective in the prevention of edema and provide thinning of the post-rhinoplasty skin envelope.

Abstract
Complete congenital arhinia is a rare defect of embryogenesis leading to the absence of the external nose and airway. We report our novel multistaged reconstructive approach and literature review. Nasal methyl methacrylate prosthesis was created from a stereolithographic model for use as a temporary prosthesis and tissue expander. Lefort 1 with cannulization was utilized for midface advancement and airway formation. External framework was reconstructed with bilateral conchal bowl cartilage and rib osteocartilagenous grafts. Patient was pleased with the aesthetics and had safe decannulation with the ability to breathe through the nose and airway.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Rhinoplasty in children has raised concerns about its safety in the pediatric population. There is scarcity of evidence describing outcomes and surgical techniques performed in pediatric rhinoplasty. We analyzed post-operative complications and cartilage preferences between plastic surgeons and otolaryngologists.Data was collected through the Pediatric National Surgical Improvement Program from 2012 to 2017. Current Procedure Terminology codes were used for data extraction. Patients were grouped according to type of rhinoplasty procedures (primary, secondary, and cleft rhinoplasty). A comparison between plastic surgeons and otolaryngologists was made in each group in terms of postoperative complications. Additionally, a sub-group analysis based on cartilage graft preferences was performed.During the study period, a total of 1839 patients underwent rhinoplasty procedures; plastic surgeons performed 1438 (78.2%) cases and otolaryngologists performed 401 (21.8%) cases. After analyzing each group, no significant differences were noted in terms of wound dehiscence, surgical site infection, readmission, or reoperation. Subgroup analysis revealed that plastic surgeons prefer using rib and ear cartilage, while otolaryngologists prefer septal and ear cartilage.The analysis of 1839 pediatric patients undergoing three types of rhinoplasty procedures showed similar postoperative outcomes, but different cartilage graft utilization between plastic surgeons and otolaryngologists.

Abstract
Revision rhinoplasty presents several complex surgical challenges. Proper patient selection for revision rhinoplasty, along with thorough preoperative examination and surgical planning, is key to achieving ideal outcomes. Along with achieving a high level of understanding of primary rhinoplasty techniques, surgeons performing revision rhinoplasty must understand and diagnose deformities created by the primary surgery. A systematic approach to diagnosing rhinoplasty deformities assists in forming a suitable surgical plan. A classification system based on nasal analysis, described here, may be used to differentiate the degree of difficulty of the surgery as well as assist in surgical planning. Surgeons have a multitude of options available in their armamentarium for addressing common nasal deformities encountered during revisional surgery, and a stepwise surgical approach may facilitate the creation of an optimal aesthetic and functional result.
