  • Digital Imaging in Rhinoplasty

    Imaging in facial plastic surgery is becoming common. With the advances of digital imaging software, modifications of preoperative images for rhinoplasty patients can help to predict outcomes. The primary objective of this study was to determine whether preoperative digital image modification in rhinoplasty patients is useful in predicting postoperative outcomes…

  • Temporal Fascial Periosteal and Musculoperiosteal Flaps in the Pig: Design and Blood Flow Assessment

    The availability of a vascularized periosteal flap with bone-forming potential could greatly enhance the reconstructive capabilities of the craniofacial surgeon. Previous observations seem to indicate that the bone-forming potential of periosteal flaps depends on the vascularity of the flap…

  • Comparison of Laser Doppler Flowmeter and Radioactive Microspheres in Measuring Blood Flow in Pig Skin Flaps

    Laser Doppler flowmetry is a noninvasive technique commonly used to monitor skin perfusion after free-tissue transfer or replantation in reconstructive surgery. Several investigators have expressed concern about the reliability of the quantitative value provided by laser Doppler flowmeters (LDF) and the extent to which they reflect nutrient blood flow…

  • Nasal Airway Volume and Resistance to Airflow

    In keeping with the concepts of evidence-based medicine, various objective measuring techniques are used for assessment of nasal airway patency. In modern rhinological practice and research, rhinomanometry and acoustic rhinometry are probably the most widely used techniques. The goal of the present study was to determine whether there is correlation between rhinomanometrically derived nasal airflow resistances and acoustic rhinometrically derived nasal airway volumes…

  • Predictive Value of Computer Imaging in Rhinoplasty Surgery

    Rhinoplasty is one of the most common procedures performed by facial plastic surgeons. For many years, documentation of an individual’s nose and the relationships of the face has been carried out using various techniques of imaging from silhouettes, to photography, and now more recently digital imaging…

  • Deprojecting the Nasal Tip

    The overprojected nasal tip, commonly referred to as the “Pinocchio” nose, is a relatively uncommon but challenging deformity. Surgical correction of the nasal tip is most difficult and the least predictable component of rhinoplasty surgery. The goal of the nasal aesthetic surgeon is…
