Anatomical relationships between the tendon, parotid duct, neurovasculature, and anatomical landmarks underscore the importance of deliberate soft-tissue retraction and subperiostial elevation to minimize injury. The tendon alone usually provides adequate length for orthodromic suspension.

The notion seems noble in its purpose, yet there are some apprehensions and misconceptions among physicians, especially those in a predominantly surgical field such as facial plastic surgery. Developing a sophisticated understanding of the inherent biases and limitations of EBM will become increasingly important for the researcher and practicing surgeon as we strive to improve the rigor of our studies and produce noteworthy scientific evidence that improves the health outcomes for our patients.

Wide nasal tip deformities with strong, convex lower lateral cartilages are best indicated for treatment with this technique. The alar-spanning suture can improve lateral crural position and eliminate dead space by refining and narrowing the supratip, often without requiring extensive dissection or additional strut grafting. We use operative photographs and an intraoperative video to demonstrate the alar-spanning suture technique, which is a useful addition to the armamentarium of any rhinoplastic surgeon.

The modifications include wider undermining of the opposing trefoil flap (≤2-4 cm), staggering the closure of the helical apices, and expanding the base of the auricular trefoil flap such that it extends over a larger circumference of the helical rim. The senior author (K.S.) has achieved excellent results with this method and has alleviated the need for skin grafts or local preauricular flaps to close the donor site.

Moreover, nostril asymmetry is demonstrated from the frontal and basal views with reasonable consistency. In a small subset of study patients, occult nostril asymmetry exceeded 10% of the total nasal base width. We postulate that clinically significant nostril size discrepancies are hidden by excessive tip width, and we speculate that these nostril size discrepancies become more apparent after surgical refinement of the oversized nasal tip, thereby potentially leading to unexpected postoperative cosmetic imperfections and patient dissatisfaction. The apparent frequency of (occult) nostril asymmetry in patients with excessive nasal tip wid...

Behind me, approaching fast, was an ambulance with its siren wailing. In the oncoming lane, also stopped at the red light, was a police car. Since I could not pull off to the right because of the barrier, my only choice to get out of the path of the ambulance was to drive into the intersection despite the red light. However, if I did, I would be breaking the law in clear view of a police officer. But if I did not let the ambulance through, I would be violating an ethical norm. After quickly thinking through my options, I made a judgment call and did what I thought best. What would you do?

Classifying congenital nasal deformities can be difficult in part due to the highly variable normal range. The most minor form of the typical unilateral cleft lip nasal deformity is the microform cleft. The potential of an isolated cleft lip nasal deformity without obvious cleft lip has been previously suggested to represent a carrier state for orofacial clefting. Definitive genetic studies and continued anthropometric documentation in relatives of patients with orofacial clefts are needed if we are to uncover previously unidentified associations, and a potential carrier state.

The degree of motor neuron survival corresponds with functional status. In juvenile mice, crush injury results in overall poor functional recovery and profound cell loss in the FMN. With low-dose corticosteroid treatment, there is a significantly enhanced functional recovery after injury in these mice (P < .05).

However, almost no patients (57 of 58), irrespective of the technique used for their brow-lift, viewed their experienced forehead and/or scalp numbness to have been significant enough to deter them from undergoing the surgery again.

In addition to differences in soft-tissue anatomy, bony architectural variations may contribute substantially to racial differences in the surface anatomy of the periorbital area. Anatomic analysis, based on 3-dimensional orbital imaging, may provide a rational approach to surgical planning for aesthetic and reconstructive orbitofacial surgery.

The surgeon should not be dissuaded from planning a fibula free flap operation if skin perforators appear unfavorable on preoperative MRA because intraoperative observation is definitive. The surgeon should prepare for anomalous cases in which perforators may arise from the posterior tibial system. Further investigation is needed to achieve more accurate imaging modalities for evaluating septocutaneous perforators prior to free fibula flap transfer.
