Moreover, racial variation for Asian nose rhinoplasty could even demand sophistication of tip and columella strut graft infrastructure enhancement. Various autogenous graft options such as 6th costal cartilage, septal cartilage and conchal cartilage are very commonly considered whilst the 10th costal cartilage is scarcely reported. Objective and Method: The purpose of this manuscript is to illustrate the detailed operative steps to harvest the 10th costal cartilage for infrastructural grafting at NTC subunits by a case illustration. The pros and cons of different cartilage options will be discussed, particularly its application in cleft nose rhinoplasty in Chinese patient. We have adopted the 10th rib as the key option for NTC reconstruction in 11 cases of Chinese cleft secondary rhinoplasty since 2019 and have achieved good and stable results without complications. Conclusion: The 10th costal cartilage is one of the best options in Nasal Tip Columella subunits reconstruction, particularly in complex cleft nose or failure revision aesthetic rhinoplasty cases, due to its safety of harvesting, and the sufficient quality and quantity of grafting materials it provides for simultaneous adjunctive augmentation purpose.展开更多

Methods: a total of 78 patients were selected in this study, who underwent nasal tip plastic surgery in our hospital from January 2021 to January 2022. They were randomly assigned into two groups according to the odd-even series method. The experimental group and the conventional group were treated with artificial dermis and silica gel nasal augmentation, respectively, to compare the surgical effects. Results: 97.44% of the patients in the experimental group had effective nasal tip plastic surgery, while only 84.62% of the patients in the conventional group had effective nasal tip plastic surgery, which was statistically significant (P < 0.05). After plastic surgery, the nasal tip protrusion, nasal length and nasal tip height in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the conventional group, and the statistical significance was established (P < 0.05). In the experimental group, 5.13% of the patients had complications after nasal tip plastic surgery, the total incidence rate was lower than 20.51% in the conventional group, and the statistical significance was established (P < 0.05). 97.44% of the patients in the experimental group were satisfied with the nasal tip plastic surgery, while only 82.05% of the patients in the conventional group were satisfied, which was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: in the process of nasal tip plastic surgery, the overall application effect of artificial dermis is better than that of silica gel nasal augmentation, which is more worthy of promotion and application in clinic.展开更多

Neurogenic tumors of Sino-nasal cavity are a very rare entity. The most common types are Schwannomas and Neurofibromas and the plexiform subtype is one form of these neuroendocrine tumors. We report the case series of two such cases of a plexiform neurofibroma of the nasal tip, which were excised via an open rhinoplasty approach.展开更多
