Objective The present study aimed to evaluate the long-term results of combining spreader
grafts with lateral suspension techniques for management of narrow internal nasal valves …

Background Septal extension graft (SEG) is an effective method to control the projection,
rotation, and shape of the nasal tip. However, the structural mechanics of SEG have not yet …

Purpose It is important to reinforce nasal tip support for long-term satisfactory results. Two
workhorses of tip support are strut grafting and the tongue-in-groove technique. Tongue-in …

Nasal obstruction is one of the most common nose complaints. Internal nasal valve
dysfunction is an important cause of nasal obstruction, particularly in patients who have a …

The internal nasal valve is the narrowest point in the nasal airway and thus is the controlling
point that regulates inspiration flow. The cross-sectional area of the internal nasal valve is …

Introduction The caudal extension graft is usually a cartilage graft that overlaps the caudal
margin of the nasal septum. A combination of the caudal extension graft and the tongue-in …

Weakness of the internal nasal valve, and less commonly external nasal valve, leads to alar
collapse. Common causes of alar collapse include ageing, trauma, prolonged nasal …

We reviewed the potential benefits of conchal cartilage or Polydioxanone (PDS) foil-
empowered nasal cartilage as caudal septal extension grafts (CSEGs). Research methods …

Nasal obstruction is a common problem. Normal nasal breathing involves the interaction of
static and dynamic forces, including the nasal septum, lateral nasal walls, and nasal …

Background The septal extension graft (SEG) is widely used in secondary rhinoplasty for
correction of a short nose with loss of tip support and projection, columellar retraction, and …
