RESUMEN
This study is a randomized controlled interventional study aimed to determine the effect of preoperative brochure-assisted education on surgical fear and anxiety in patients scheduled for septorhinoplasty surgery. The study was conducted between May 2022 and February 2023 in the Otorhinolaryngology services and clinics of a training and research hospital in the southern region of Turkey. The study included 61 patients, with 29 in the education group and 32 in the control group. All patients received routine nursing care before surgery, with the education group receiving additional education through an informative brochure. The data were collected using the "Personal Information Form", "Surgical Fear Questionnaire", and "Surgical Anxiety Questionnaire". There was no significant difference in the mean scores of surgical fear between the groups on the morning of the surgery (p > 0.05). However, a significant difference was found in the mean scores of surgical anxiety between the groups (p < 0.05). In conclusion, patients in the education group who received preoperative brochure-assisted education had lower anxiety compared with the control group.

This study aimed to investigate quality and readability of online rhinoplasty information provided on Turkish websites. We searched for the terms "rhinoplasty" (rinoplasti) and "nose job" (burun estetigi) in Turkish using the Google search engine in May 2023. The first 30 sites for each term were included in the evaluation. We used the DISCERN tool to evaluate quality and the Atesman and Cetinkaya-Uzun formulas to assess readability. According to the Atesman formula, the readability scores of all the websites were moderately difficult. According to the Cetinkaya-Uzun formula, the readability scores of websites were at the instructional reading level. The mean total DISCERN score was 2.33â ±â 0.60, indicating poor quality. No statistically significant correlations were found between the Atesman or Cetinkaya-Uzun readability scores and the DISCERN scores across all websites (Pâ >â .05). Our analysis revealed key areas in which Turkish websites can improve the quality and readability of rhinoplasty information to support decision-making.

Background/aim: Herein, we describe a new technique to obtain both the appropriate degree of rotation angle and the ideal nasal bridge length. The aim of this study is to investigate the long-term results of this new technique with regard to these two variables. Materials and methods: A total of 76 (27 males, 49 females) patients were operated in accordance with the presented technique. Internal caudal mucosal excision and lower lateral cartilage (LLC) suspension were applied to all the patients included in this prospective study. Preoperative, immediate postoperative, and postoperative 1st-year photographs were taken. NOSE scores were obtained in the postoperative 1st year. Results: The mean nasolabial angle values of the patients preoperatively, at the end of the surgery (immediate postoperative), and at the end of the first year were 94.13° ± 5.1, 113.1° ± 5.3, and 109.6° ± 5.2, respectively. The patients had an average gain of 19° at the nasolabial angle at the end of the surgery and experienced a 3.5° (3.1%) loss at the end of the first year. For the nasal bridge length (n-prn) values; the preoperative, immediate postoperative, and first year mean values were 5.1 ± 0.55 cm, 3.98 ± 0.41 cm, and 4.29 ± 0.39 cm, respectively. The noses of the patients were shortened by 1.11 cm on average at the end of the surgery. Conclusion: Internal caudal mucosal resection with a suspension of the LLC to the caudal edge of the upper lateral cartilages (ULC) offers a reliable method to control the nasal tip rotation and shorten the long noses. This technique's effect is more obvious in long noses compared to the short ones.

Objective: To assess functional and aesthetic outcomes in patients having undergone dorsal nasal augmentation with costochondral graft in a tertiary care setting. METHODS: The single-centre, retrospective, observational study was conducted at Shifa International Hospital, Islamabad, Pakistan, and comprised data of patients who underwent dorsal nasal augmentation using costochondral graft between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2022. Aesthetic outcomes in terms of patient satisfaction were assessed using Facial Appearance, Health-related Quality of Life and Adverse Effects scores. Data was analysed using SPSS 26. RESULTS: Of the 46 patients, 28(61%) were males and 18(39%) were females. The overall mean age was 28.39±9.13 years. Dorsal nasal deficiency occurred secondary to congenital causes in 12(26.1%) patients, trauma 19(41.3%) and prior surgery 15(32.6%). Postoperative complication rate was 7(15%); 3(6.5%) had recipient site infection and 2(4.3%) had rib graft resorption. Besides, 1(2.2%) patient reported pain 2 months postoperatively and 1(2.2%) had hypertrophic scarring. Patient satisfaction with the outcome was noted in all the 10 parameters analysed. Most commonly reported problem was that the nose was 'looking thick/swollen' by 12(26.1%) patients, but the issue resolved during 1-year follow-up. Conclusion: Costochondral graft was found to be an ideal material for dorsal nasal augmentation, with high patient satisfaction rate.

<b>Introduction:</b> Rhinoseptoplasty procedures are focused not only on the aesthetic but also on the functional aspects. Surgical outcomes have to be evaluated in each patient. To date, the Polish literature has lacked a tool facilitating simultaneous assessment of rhinoseptoplasty's impact on both the external appearance and functionality of the nose.<b>Aim:</b> The aim of this study was to translate, adapt, and validate the Polish version of the original SCHNOS (Standardized Cosmesis and Health Nasal Outcomes Survey) questionnaire as used for the assessment of the functional and aesthetic outcomes in patients after rhinoplasty.<b>Materials and methods:</b> A total of 31 subjects (N = 24 [77.4%] women and N = 7 men [22.6%]) aged 19 through 55 years (M = 31.32; SD = 8.50) participated in the study. The SCHNOS questionnaire was translated in accordance with international guidelines. The psychometric accuracy of translation was tested in native speakers of Polish. The authors measured the internal consistency, correlatability, and repeatability of the instrument to determine its validity. The data were subjected to statistical analysis.<b>Results:</b> The confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the two-factor structure of the scale. The satisfactory reliability amounted to 0.888 [95% CI: 0.804-0.940] for the SCHNOS-O and 0.883 [95% CI 0.795-0.937] for the SCHNOS-C scale. Differential accuracy was confirmed by AVE values of > 0.5 as well as by correlation of the results with the Rhinoplasty Outcome Evaluation (ROE) questionnaire scores.<b>Conclusions:</b> The SCHNOS questionnaire has been translated, adapted, and validated for use in the Polish-speaking population. The tool was found to be relevant and reliable.

In general, fewer male patients seek rhinoplasty surgery than females. The surgical principles are similar in both populations with some special anatomic considerations that will need attention. There is a higher rate of body dysmorphic syndrome in males seeking rhinoplasty as well as greater challenges with patient satisfaction, and the consultation process needs to be thorough and deliberate when undertaking aesthetic surgery in this population to maximize positive outcomes.

BACKGROUND: Reconstruction of nasal defects is a challenging task due to the complex nasal geometry and the need for aesthetic considerations. The bilobe flap has emerged as a reliable technique for nasal reconstruction, particularly for defects involving the nasal tip, alae, and inferior dorsum. OBJECTIVE: This study presents a review of 31 patients who underwent bilobe flap reconstruction for nasal defects after tumor resection. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The surgical technique, short- and long-term aesthetic outcomes, patient satisfaction, and complications were evaluated. Aesthetic outcomes were assessed using a qualitative ordinal scale, and long-term patient satisfaction was obtained through follow-up notes and phone interviews. RESULTS: Bilobe flap reconstruction yielded good aesthetic outcomes in the majority of cases, with high patient satisfaction. Complications were minimal, and revision surgeries were performed in a small number of cases to address aesthetic concerns. CONCLUSION: Overall, the bilobe flap technique proved to be an effective and reliable option for nasal reconstruction, providing stable and long-lasting results.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The use of piezoelectric instrumentation is increasingly recognized as an alternative to traditional bone-cutting techniques across a wide array of surgeries. Here, we provide an overview of the technique, including device principles, benefits, and drawbacks. We also review its use in craniofacial surgery. RECENT FINDINGS: Piezoelectric surgery is a minimally invasive bone-cutting system with lower risk of damage to surrounding soft tissue structures. Indications for its use are rapidly expanding across multiple fields, including craniofacial surgery. To date, piezosurgical techniques have been most widely adopted and studied in the contexts of rhinoplasty, orthognathic surgery, and cranioplasty in craniosynostosis. Piezosurgery can facilitate more precise and consistent osteotomies while decreasing morbidities associated with traditional osteotomy techniques. Primary limitations include cost and concerns regarding increased operative times secondary to operator learning curves and decreased cutting efficiency. SUMMARY: Piezoelectric surgery represents an alternative to traditional bone-cutting modalities to improve precision, consistency, and safety of osteotomies. Further research is needed to better understand the efficacy of the technique as well as potential for additional applications.

BACKGROUND: Rhinoplasty is a common surgical procedure used in nose esthetics and pathologies. Shaping the nasal bones is a crucial step in achieving successful rhinoplasty surgery. However, complications such as excessive bleeding, edema, mucosal damage, and periosteal damage may occur during osteotomy for nose shaping. AIM: To investigate the damage to soft tissue and the effects on oxidative stress and proinflammatory cytokines in the blood caused by osteotomy performed on rabbits, using different osteotomy methods. Methods: Thirty-two albino New Zealand rabbits were divided into four groups. Group A was the sham group (n = 8), Group B the piezoelectric device group (n = 8), Group C the manual saw group (n = 8), and Group D the classical osteotomy group (n = 8). About 3 ml of blood was drawn to compare preoperative and postoperative interleukin-1ß (IL-1ß), thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), nitric oxide (NO), interleukin-10 (IL-10), and glutathione (GSH) levels. A 1 mm3 piece of soft tissue from the nasal bone of each animal in the study groups was sent for histopathological examination. The Chi-square test was used to analyze the incidence of postoperative necrosis, inflammation, and edema in the groups. RESULTS: Histopathologically, edema was significantly higher in Group C and Group D compared to Group B. Inflammation was increased in all groups. The necrosis was significantly higher in Group B compared to Group C and Group D. Except for two parameters, no significant changes were found in the biochemical markers for all groups. CONCLUSIONS: The piezoelectric device was found to be a better option for reducing edema and inflammation, while manual saws and classical osteotomy may lead to more tissue damage.

OBJECTIVE: A deviated nose is traditionally classified as bony, cartilaginous, or combined deviation. Osteotomy is commonly used to correct bony deviation, and accurate surgical techniques and postoperative patient management are important for favorable outcomes. The authors investigated the change in the external nasal deviation angle over time using sequential clinical photographs to identify the optimal postoperative follow-up duration. METHODS: Medical records and sequential standardized clinical photographs of 22 patients who underwent bilateral medial and lateral osteotomies without dorsal augmentation from January 1, 2014 to May 31, 2021, were retrospectively reviewed. Clinical photographs were classified into 4 periods: "a" preoperative, "b" postoperative day (POD) ≤3 weeks, "c" POD ≤9 weeks, and "d" POD >9 weeks. The angle of deviation (AoD) was measured in both frontal and chin-on-chest views for each period. Differences in AoD between temporally adjacent periods were analyzed. RESULTS: Nineteen men and 3 women (mean age: 28.8 y) were included. Thirteen patients showed rightward deviation, whereas 9 showed leftward deviation. Eleven patients underwent surgery through an endonasal approach, whereas the other 11 underwent surgery through an external approach. In the frontal view, AoD differences (mean ± SD) between periods "a" and "b," "b" and "c," and "c" and "d" were 5.79 ± 3.36 degrees (P < 0.001), 1.44 ± 1.14 degrees (P < 0.001), and 1.07 ± 1.24 degrees (P < 0.05), respectively. In the chin-on-chest view, the values were 5.17 ± 2.69 degrees (P < 0.001), 2.06 ± 2.63 degrees (P < 0.001), and 1.46 ± 1.31 degrees (P < 0.001), respectively. No statistically significant difference in AoD differences was observed between the two approaches. CONCLUSIONS: Angle of deviation can change even 9 weeks after bilateral osteotomy. Thus, long-term follow-up using sequential clinical photographs is mandatory. If needed, close follow-up with early postoperative interventions may be required. The chin-on-chest view showed better sensitivity for assessing AoD than the frontal view.

BACKGROUND: Facial balance significantly impacts aesthetics, particularly in the middle and lower thirds. Patients with chin retrusion often benefit from sagittal plane chin advancement in rhinoplasty, enhancing surgical outcomes and satisfaction. OBJECTIVES: This article presents a method for analyzing chin deformities and discusses a hybrid treatment approach to harmonize facial features, complementing rhinoplasty. METHODS: The chin positions of patients treated by the senior author were assessed. A retrospective analysis included 49 patients with chin retrusion of 2.5-6 mm. Among them, 22 patients initially offered chin implants declined, leading to planned chin augmentation. Fat grafting was exclusively performed for 20 patients lacking sufficient cartilage. The "Hybrid Chin Advancement" technique involved supporting tissues beneath muscles with nasal septum cartilage and fat injections and tissues above muscles with fat injection alone. RESULTS: Pre- and postoperative Legan angle measurements and chin advancements were compared across three groups. While preoperative Legan angles were statistically similar, postoperative Legan angles and advancement changes were significantly higher in the implant group (p < 0.0001). Comparing hybrid chin advancement and fat grafting groups, postoperative Legan angles and advancement changes were significantly higher in the hybrid chin group (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: Fat grafting suffices for mild advancements (~ 2 mm), while the hybrid chin method is effective for moderate advancements (~ 4 mm). For advancements exceeding 6 mm, implants or osseous genioplasty are optimal. Our study's hybrid approach offers an easy, safe, and reliable method for achieving facial harmony in the lower two-thirds without compromising patient expectations.

BACKGROUND: Correction of asymmetry and irregularity deformities with autologous grafts, without osteotomies, offers advantages to both plastic surgeons and patients with severe deviation. Various autologous tissues such as fat, bone, and cartilage grafts are viable options for this purpose. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of 3 autologous filling materials in patients with bone asymmetry. METHODS: A retrospective evaluation was conducted on 297 patients seeking aesthetic nose surgery between 2015 and 2022. Only primary patients without prior surgery and those with bone asymmetry from trauma, with dorsum protrusion <3 mm, and without osteotomy were included. Patients were divided into fat, cartilage, and bone groups. Grafts were applied to the concave side during closed rhinoplasty, and evaluations were done 12 months after surgery by blinded plastic surgeons and patients using established assessment tools. RESULTS: Fat, cartilage, and bone grafts were utilized in 74, 127, and 96 patients, respectively, with a mean follow-up of 19 months. The mean graft volumes were 1.0 cc (bone), 1.3 cc (cartilage), and 1.6 cc (fat). The patient self-assessment scores were 75%, 84.9%, and 86.6%, respectively. The Asher-McDade averages were 77.2%, 86.7%, and 88.4%, respectively. Cartilage and bone graft results were statistically similar in patients' self-evaluation and significantly higher than those of fat grafts. Blinded assessments showed no significant difference between the cartilage and bone groups. CONCLUSION: Placing autologous grafts on the concave side for patients with minimal nasal bone protrusion (<3 mm) yields successful results. Cartilage grafts offer advantages in volume, result estimation, and preparation time, making them suitable for larger patient cohorts.

Osteotomy is often necessary for the repair of post-traumatic nasal bone deformities. Typically, tools such as chisels are used for osteotomies; however, we performed osteotomies using Kirschner wires without making a skin incision. Between April 2011 and July 2022, we performed rhinoplasty with external perforated osteotomy using Kirschner wires in 13 patients with post-traumatic nasal bone deformities (9 males and 4 females; mean age, 34 years, range 12-51 years), all of whom exhibited improvement, with only one case showing mild residual cosmetic deformity. None of the patients requested further revision, and all were satisfied with their functional results. The non-incisional external perforated technique is a reasonable method that allows for bone osteotomies along the fracture line and is well-controlled, predictable, and reproducible.

INTRODUCTION: Grafts play key roles in functional and aesthetic rhinoplasty. Autologous grafts are generally preferred for their biocompatibility and less visibility when used in a fragmented fashion. The aim of this study was to review mechanically fragmented cartilage grafts techniques described in the literature, outlining indications, outcomes, and complications. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A systematic review of articles published from 1999 until December 2022 was conducted, using the following key words: "rhinoplasty," "cartilage," and "graft." Studies were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and data were extracted and grouped for subgroup analysis. Rates of partial resorption, total resorption, surgical revision, and major and minor complications were statistically analyzed. RESULTS: Thirty eligible studies were included. Three cartilage fragmentation methods were identified: diced, shaved, and crushed. Cartilage grafts were further divided into injectable and noninjectable grafts. Diced cartilage was the most commonly used. Dorsal irregularities were the main indication. Overall, 1.68% of patients experienced partial resorption, 0.27% experienced total resorption, and 1.46% needed revision. The partial resorption rate in the diced group was significantly lower than that in the shaved group. Injectable grafts showed a higher rate of partial resorption. The revision rate was higher with noninjectable grafts. CONCLUSION: The partial resorption rate was lower in patients treated with diced cartilage. Injectable grafts are malleable and suitable for the correction of minimal irregularities, although they are affected by a higher rate of partial resorption. Wrapping materials may be used when significant augmentation is required.

ABSTRACT: Rhinophyma leads to severe facial deformities and significant social pressure for patients. Patients often seek medical intervention due to cosmetic defects and functional impairments, such as nasal congestion and airway collapse. Currently, there are numerous treatment modalities for rhinophyma, each with distinct advantages and disadvantages, leading to a lack of consensus in nasal vegetation management. Severe thickening in the nasal area can obstruct breathing through external nasal valve blockage, necessitating appropriate management for relief. This article presents a case study involving severe rhinophyma with respiratory obstruction that was successfully treated using incomplete resection followed by reconstruction to restore normal nasal contour. This not only achieved an upright position for nasal columella but also improved nasal contour to achieve normal appearance levels while completely relieving respiratory tract obstruction and enhancing patients' ventilation function. This method is easily performed without requiring additional expensive equipment, making it economically feasible even in ordinary medical centers while enabling patients to achieve a high quality of life.
