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. The wide amount of variation is seen in part due to differences within skin soft tissue envelope thickness and the shape and orientation of the… [Read More]

A Comparison of Warping David W. Kim, MD; Anil R. Shah, MD; Dean M. Toriumi, MD Objective: To determine if a systematic, concentric graftcarving technique results in less warping than eccentric carving.

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]

Open Structure Rhinoplasty Chapter History of open rhinoplasty On the surface, open, or external rhinoplasty differs from endonasal rhinoplasty by just a single incision along the midcolumella.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of preoperative and postoperative photographs to determine the changes of the dorsal width of… [Read More]

The bony nasal vault represents a complex three dimensional structure. With a widely divergent spectrum of nasal bony deformities, use of a single technique will often result in inconsistent results. Recognition of the underlying geometric osseous form allows the surgeon to utilize a ratiocinative approach in addressing deformities of the upper one third of the… [Read More]
