  Modern Research in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery - (MRPRS)| Stephy Publishers Postoperative dropping of the nasal tip after rhinoplasty is a known complication.1 Defining the position of the nasal tip begins with stabilizing the nasal base.2 To define the position of the nasal tip and stabilize the nasal base of the nose, the surgeon has three main options: tongue-in-groove maneuver,3 caudal septal extension graft, or columellar strut.4,5   Significant loss of rotation is expected during the first year and surgeons need to over-correct tip rotation to compensate for this loss. In a recent study, Antunes and Quatela6 identified patients who were submitted to a rhinoplasty with a tong-in-groove maneuver over a period of 1 year, and demonstrated an average reduction in the nasolabial angle of 6.8%, estimating that for each degree of rotation changed at surgery, the patient will have a loss of 0.35 degrees over the first year.   Despite the routine use of techn...

  Modern Research in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery - (MRPRS)| Stephy Publishers Abstract Introduction: We are living a paradigm shift in orthognathic surgery. Several tools and technological advances are being implemented to help improve surgical experience and to offer better functional and aesthetical results. Virtual surgical planning is a revolutionary tool which helps us design the surgical plan preoperatively and establish a surgical protocol specifically designed for that patient. In this study, our goal is to validate the predictability of virtual surgical planning in orthognathic surgery, comparing the final results with the virtual plan. Material and methods: We performed an ICP based super imposition of 3D models of the virtual planning preoperatively designed and the 3D model of the postoperative CBCT using free software (Slicer) in patients who underwent bimaxillary orthognathic surgery. The results of the super imposition were saved on the postoperative model an...

 Aesthetic Otoplasty, Reduction of Shell, Neo-antihelixplasty, Ear Shell Mastoid Reangulation Procedures| Stephy Publishers Modern Research in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery - (MRPRS)| Stephy Publishers Abstract This study aims to demonstrate the technical approach for the correction of antihelix flattening (Kaye’s Method), for shell reduction by wedge resection and for skull reangulation.(Frank Welsh). Keywords:  Otoplasty, Resection of the shell, Neo antihelixplasty. Purpose The surgical correction of protruding ears is intended to correct the partial deletion or total agenesis of the anti helix, the widening of the shell when it’s present to an abnormal degree, and skull ear angle that is increased in between 45 and 60 degrees (less is desirable). Operative Approach First, we deliniate, in the mastoid ear notch a zone to be resected in the desired shape, from the upper pole to near the lobe (Figure 2). Resection of the shell can go from the antihelix to the...

  Modern Research in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery - (MRPRS)| Stephy Publishers Abstract A male to female Transgender. She has bitemporal receding from androgenic alopecia, which is not very desirable. She seeks some kind of camouflage, after female hormone, Minoxidil and Finasteride particular hairstyle, hairpieces, etc. Her last resource is Hair Transplant to cure her baldness. FUE from the occipital scalp (927FU) and pubic (405FU) area then transplant to the bald spot is the final solution. 1,332FU was done. Hairline construction follows the “Line Thai Micro Hairline principle.” Nine months later, she comes back with a very soft, smooth heart shape feminine hairline. Keywords: Hair transplant, Female transgender, Hair style, Hormone pills Case Presentation A male to female Transgender with bitemporal recession. She is looking for a Hair Transplant to the bald area. She takes hormone pills for almost 20 years. She is in very good health status. After History is taken an...

  Modern Research in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery - (MRPRS) | Stephy Publishers Abstract Rising number of aesthetic procedures in men directed to enhance genitalia has alerted the medical community due to several complications related to them. Most of those procedures are performed in an office under local anesthesia using different kind of substances, most of them known to be harmful for humans; still, patients seek those procedures as a “safe” way to meet their goals. We present a reconstruction case due to Polymethilmetacrylate injection for penile enhancement. Keywords Penile, Reconstruction, Polymethilmetacrylate Case Report It isn’t new nor a recent practice of several so called “easy”, “in and out office” enhancing procedures. History of adjuvant substances such as petroleum jelly (liquid Vaseline) date back 1886 reported by Balzer 1  used to correct a scrotal deformity caused by tuberculosis infection, he described the complications caused by its use. ...
