Abstract Background Septal extension grafting (SEG) is used for nasal tip projection and positioning. Often, insufficient quadrangular cartilage is available for grafting in Asians and in most secondary cases, the septum is already harvested. We utilized the folded cymba concha as an alternative for caudal SEG (CSEG) by modifying a tongue-in-groove technique. Objectives To evaluate the physical validity of the cymba concha for CSEG and compare its outcomes with those of septal quadrangular cartilage. Methods The mean length and width of 311 harvested consecutive folded cymba conchae were measured from intraoperative photographs. Data from 220 patients with >12 months of follow-up were retrospectively reviewed for clinical outcomes. Clinical demography was determined based on the need for additional spreader grafts. For clinical reliability, anthropometric photographs of patients in whom folded cymba conchae were used were compared with those in whom quadrangular cartilage was used. Results Mean lengths and widths of the folded cymba conchae in men and women were 24.2 ± 3.9 and 22.4 ± 3.7 mm, and 7.8 ± 1.9 and 7.2 ± 1.9 mm, respectively. Using the folded cymba concha graft significantly increased nasal tip projection by 28.9% and columellar-labial angle by 9.7%, improving both aspects postoperatively. Anthropometric comparison revealed no significant differences between folded cymba conchae and septal cartilage in terms of nasal tip projection (p = 0.264) and postoperative columellar-labial angle (p = 0.182). Conclusions Folded cymba conchal cartilage can be a primary option for CSEG in Asian septorhinoplasty cases or for individuals with insufficient septal cartilage remnants.

Abstract Background This is the first study to evaluate the effect of premaxillary filler injection on nasal tip projection, upper lip projection, and upper lip vermilion height. Objectives The primary objective of this study was to analyze the change in nasal tip projection (measured by the Goode ratio) and the change in upper lip projection (measured by the Z angle) following premaxillary hyaluronic acid injection. A secondary objective was to measure the change in upper lip vermilion height. We hypothesized that treated subjects will show an increase in nasal tip projection, upper lip projection, and upper lip vermilion height. Methods Twenty volunteer patients with signs of perioral aging or poor upper lip projection were enrolled in this prospective cohort study and underwent premaxillary hyaluronic acid filler injection between November 2017 and June 2018. Nasal tip projection, upper lip projection, and upper lip vermilion height were assessed from baseline and posttreatment photographs based on the Goode ratio, Z angle, and lip vermilion height ratio, respectively. Results No significant change was noted between pre- and posttreatment Goode ratio measurements (P = 0.841). There was a significant decrease in Z angle and therefore significant increase in upper lip projection with treatment (P < 0.001). The lip vermilion height ratio demonstrated a trend of increased upper lip vermilion height but this did not achieve statistical significance (P = 0.561). Conclusions Premaxillary filler treatment resulted in a significant increase in upper lip projection. Premaxillary filler injection when performed in a safe manner is a valuable treatment option for perioral rejuvenation. Level of Evidence: 4
