Abstract Objective: to determine etiology and treatment of alar retraction based on a series of specific rhinoplasty maneuvers Design: retrospective review of a single surgeon’s (MC) rhinoplasty digital photo database, examining pre-operative alar retraction from 2003 to 2005 in 520 patients. Patients with more than 1 millimeter (mm) of alar retraction on pre-operative photographs were… Read More

Effects of various submucous resection techniques of septal cartilage on nasal tip projection
Approximately 80% of the general population has septal deviation, with up to one-third suffering from some degree of anatomic nasal obstruction. Many patients seeking nasal septal surgery desire operative intervention not because of a desire to alter the aesthetic character of their nose, but simply to correct anatomic narrowing of the nasal airway which may… Read More
Bilateral auricular seromas: A case report and review of the literature
Abstract Hematomas, pseudocysts, and seromas are all part of the differential diagnosis of auricular swellings. Seromas are benign collections of serous fluid that have a tendency to recur. The fluid accumulates in the space between the dermis and perichondrium of the ear. We describe what we believe is the first case of spontaneous bilateral auricular… Read More
Nasal septal deviation in the pediatric and adult populations
Abstract A significant proportion of the population has nasal septal deviation of varying degrees. Recent reports of such deviation occurring at younger ages suggest a congenital etiology. To the best of our knowledge, no previous clinical studies have compared the septal deviation of adult and pediatric populations with a uniform measure that focuses on the… Read More
Finesse Rhinoplasty
Raj Kanodia MD, FACS , Anil R. Shah MD, FACS Introduction: Rhinoplasty is the most challenging operation in plastic surgery. First of all, the anatomy in each nose is distinct.

Methods: Costal cartilage from ribs 3 through 9 were harvested from fresh human cadavers. Concentric dorsal grafts were carved from cartilage obtained from… Read More
Anatomy of the Nose | Rhinoplasty Information
Rhinoplasty anatomy and analysis often go hand in hand. It is important to know anatomic terms so that communication between surgeon and patient can be facilitated. The descriptions of anatomy and analysis have been oversimplified so that the layperson can understand some of the basic definitions and learn some techniques to analyze a nose. Planning… Read More
Congenital Anomalies of The Nose
Christina J. Laane, MD / Anil R. Shah MD CONGENITAL MIDLINE NASAL MASSES Congenital midline nasal masses, which include nasal dermoid cysts, nasal encephaloceles, and nasal gliomas (Figures 9–1, 9–2 and 9–5), are rare malformations; one occurs in 20,000–40,000 live births in the United States. Frontoethmoidal encephaloceles are more common in Southeast Asia, with one… Read More
