Spreader grafts were initially described in the ’80s by a rhinoplasty surgeon named Jack Sheen, who used them through an endonasal – or closed, scarless – approach to provide support in patients with short nasal bones, and to reconstruct the middle vault after dorsal hump reduction. Since this initial description and application, the uses of spreader grafts during nose job surgery have been expanded to include correction of internal nasal valve narrowing or collapse, adding additional support to the dorsal septum, straightening deviation of the dorsal septum, widening the middle third of the ..read more

Does scarless rhinoplasty or closed rhinoplasty have any limitations? Why wouldn’t you want a nose job with no scar?

Closed rhinoplasty or scarless rhinoplasty is an excellent procedure in the properly selected patient. Scarless rhinoplasty involves making incisions only within the nostrils, so that the scars are hidden and difficult to see from the outside. This does make the surgery faster, and swelling typically will be less than a comparable open rhinoplasty procedure. Scarless rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty work best in patients with: near ideal tip support near ideal tip aesthetics adequate dorsal height and projection thin to moderate thickness skin Closed rhinoplasty and scarless rhinoplasty f ..read more

Asian rhinoplasty and Asian nose job surgery has enjoyed a surge in popularity as the interest in rhinoplasty surgery more broadly has also increased due to the wider social acceptance and emergence of techniques and surgeons capable of producing predictably beautiful results. While rhinoplasty as a general concept involves reshaping the nose, it’s far too broad a term to accurately reflect the enormous variation in terms of surgical technique and expertise demanded of rhinoplasty surgeons to modify an individual’s anatomy to create the specific aesthetic desired. For Asian rhinoplasty more p ..read more

Any attempt at definitively and objectively determine who is the single best plastic surgeon, or rhinoplasty surgeon for that matter, is an endeavor fraught with subjectivity and destined for failure. Unlike other surgical specialities where outcomes and quality of treatment may be quantified, at least to a certain extent, with indicators such as rates of cure/survival, complication, infection, patient satisfaction, etc. in plastic surgery, relative success and failure is determined by each individual patient and not the collective of patients undergoing surgery by a particular surgeon.

Got Lashes? Can I wear lash extensions during surgery? The short answer is preferably no. We recommend that our patients leave out their extensions mainly because it can interfere with surgery as well as cause an issue with sterility. For some procedures, we tape the eyes with a clear dressing to prevent the eyes from becoming dry and causing any corneal scratching. Lash extensions may be dislodged as we remove the tape. They may also fall off and fall into the eye which can increase your risk for corneal abrasions.  When can I put lash extensions on again? After surgery, we recommend wa ..read more

Festival season is here, so what does that mean for your rhinoplasty and how should you be careful? DO: Wear SPF and a hat!

It is important to reapply sunblock or sunscreen with at least an SPF of 30 at least every two hours. DO: Stay hydrated! Drink plenty of water or gatorade to prevent complications like heat injury. DON’T: wear sunglasses if you are less than two months out from surgery as this can cause unwanted contour abnormalities in your DCF. AVO ..read more

Rib cartilage harvested by Dr. Yoo The ribcage encloses important organs such as the lungs and heart and its bony structure provides support as well. In total, the rib cage is composed of 24 ribs attached to the 12 thoracic vertebrae. Costal cartilage is attached to each rib and the sternum and functions to help the chest expand during breathing. As people get older, costal cartilages are more prone to becoming calcified. In dorsal augmentation rhinoplasties, the 6th or 7th costal cartilage can be harvested for grafting material. To harvest rib cartilage, a small incision is made beneath the b ..read more

How does the sun affect scar healing? Although the skin uses sunlight to help formulate Vitamin D, it can also take major injury from the sun as well. Sun damage goes beyond just a typical sunburn. Over long periods of time, the sun causes gradual harm to the skin. Sun rays contain ultraviolet light and this type of radiation can cause DNA changes in the skin. There are two different types of UV light, UVA and UVB.  UVA light affects skin at all levels and layers. Within these layers are collagen and elastin which affect the elasticity and tightness of the skin. UVB light affects the oute ..read more

The nasal septum is located roughly at the midline of the nose. It is composed of five structures such as the perpendicular plate of ethmoid bone, vomer bone, cartilage of the septum, crest of the maxillary bone, crest of the palatine bone with the cartilaginous parts located in the front and bony parts located in the back of the nose. The septum functions to separate the right and left nasal cavities as well as provide structural support for the nose. In augmentation rhinoplasty, cartilage grafts are typically used and some grafts are placed next to the septum. For example, spreader grafts ar ..read more
