Open rhinoplasty with rib cartilage graft: A novel spring-shaped carving technique to prevent cartilage warping

Objectives: To advance and refine the use of rib cartilage in nasal
augmentation by developing a technique that minimizes
the risk of cartilage warping in both the short and long
term. This study aims to establish a more structurally
stable and reliable approach to rib cartilage grafting,
enhancing both aesthetic and functional outcomes in
open rhinoplasty.

Introduction: Cartilage warping remains a persistent challenge in open rhinoplasty,
often compromising both aesthetic results and structural integrity. While
various techniques have been proposed to mitigate this issue, a
consistently reliable solution has yet to be established.
This study presents a novel surgical approach developed by Dr. Teerasut
Wattanajindaporn to prevent warping of rib cartilage used for dorsal
augmentation. The technique has been clinically applied in surgical cases,
with both short- and long-term follow-ups demonstrating promising
stability and graft integration.

Materials / method: This study introduces a spring-shaped carving technique designed to
improve the stability of rib cartilage grafts in open rhinoplasty. The
technique involves using a scalpel to precisely sculpt rib cartilage into a
spring-like configuration, allowing for controlled flexibility and
curvature while minimizing the risk of postoperative warping. This
modification ensures that the cartilage adapts naturally to nasal
contours while maintaining its structural integrity.
The technique was applied in clinical cases with short- and long-term
follow-ups to assess its effectiveness.

Results: This study is based on clinical observations and
practical application rather than statistical analysis.
The findings suggest that the spring-shaped carving
technique enhances graft stability and reduces the
likelihood of cartilage warping in rib cartilage grafting
for open rhinoplasty.

Conclusion: This study highlights the benefits of the spring-shaped carving technique for rib cartilage grafting in open rhinoplasty. It enhances flexibility and stability while minimizing warping, ensuring natural conformation to the nasal dorsum. Despite being based on clinical observations, consistent outcomes suggest its reliability for long-term contour stability. Further research is needed to validate its efficacy, especially in complex and revision cases, contributing to the advancement of rhinoplasty techniques.

Minimally invasive eyelid lift

Objectives: This presentation introduces a novel approach to upper eyelid rejuvenatio, the Minimally Invasive Eyelid Lift (MINEL), which involves tucking the upper eyelid skin rather than excising it.

Introduction: The trend towards minimally invasive procedures in aesthetic surgery has led to the development of techniques that prioritize tissue preservation. MINEL procedure involves upper eyelid rejuvenation by tucking in the excess skin.

Materials / method: We included patients with dermatochalasis and underwent MINEL procedure. The technique involved creating small incisions, tucking the excess skin inwards, and securing it with non absorbable sutures.

Results: Thirty patients underwent MINEL procedure, all reported positive functional and aesthetic outcomes. The technique effectively reduced redundant skin, preserved natural eyelid creases, and resulted in minimal to no scarring. The procedure duration was 20-45 min, with rapid recovery and return to activities. This technique offers significant advantages, including reduced downtime, a quicker procedure, and the preservation of natural eyelid anatomy, resulting in outcomes that are both effective, subtle, with no telltale sign of surgery.

Conclusion: MINEL offers a promising tissue-preserving alternative to traditional upper blepharoplasty, providing natural aesthetic outcomes with minimally scarring and faster recovery.

Injection strategy of the lateral temporal region and cranioauricular angle for upper facial contour

Objectives: Non-surgical facial contour and anti-aging are common aesthetic requests among Chinese patients. Treatment with soft-tissue filler is the preferred option as the procedures are less invasive with minimal downtime. Injection of the lateral temporal region and cranioauricular angle provides pleasing for both anti-aging and facial contour. In this presentation, treatment method and injection strategy of the lateral temproal and cranioauricular region are discussed.

Introduction: A semi-circled upper face outer rim and smooth calvarium-lateral temple-zygomatic arch transition meets not only the Chinese traditional physiognomy, but also our current aesthetic perspective. Fullness of the lateral-temporal region (within the hairline) is crucial in creating a semi-circled upper face outer rim contour. Furthermore, other than full and well contoured lateral temple, slightly protruded ears would also visually help concealing the zygomatic arch, as well as making the lower face look smaller in contrast.

Materials / method: The widest point of the lateral-temporal region (point W) should be vertical to the tragus, and horizontal to the mid-forehead line. First, inject on the supra-periosteum plane with a needle at the widest point of the lateral-temporal region to support the surrounding tissue. Then, inject around point W, to smooth the transition between the calvarium, lateral temple, and the zygomatic arch. More products can be place under the superficial temporal facia with a cannula if necessary. For optimal contouring results, more products can be injected to increase the cranioauricular angle.

Results: A round and full lateral temporal region would produce a well defined semi-circled upper face outer rim, and a concealed zygomatic arch . By increasing the cranioauricular angle and auricular show at frontal view, the protruded ears would further help reduce zygomatic arch prominence and lower face width in visual contrast. Addition session can be performed four to six weeks after if necessary.

Conclusion: With the proper indication, injection to the lateral temporal and cranioauricular region is a pratical method for both facial contour and anti-aging.

Mechanistic investigation of the combined use of botulinum toxin and photothermal therapy in androgenetic alopecia

Objectives: To assess the efficacy of a multimodal treatment regimen including botulinum toxin (BoNT), low-level laser therapy (LLLT), finasteride , and minoxidil in enhancing hair density and thickness in patients with androgenetic alopecia (AGA), compared to standard therapy.
The integration of novel modalities into traditional AGA treatments is gaining interest for improved therapeutic outcomes. This study introduces a combined protocol featuring BoNT and LLLT alongside standard pharmacologic treatments, evaluating its clinical potential through a controlled, split scalp trial.

Introduction: Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is a prevalent condition with significant psychosocial impact. Standard therapies like finasteride and minoxidil show limited efficacy for some patients. Combining BoNT and LLLT with standard treatments may enhance outcomes. This study investigates the benefit of such a multimodal approach.

Materials / method: In this randomized, split scalp trial, participants received the combined therapy (BoNT, LLLT, finasteride, and minoxidil) on one side of the scalp and standard treatment (finasteride and minoxidil) on the other. Assessments included trichoscopic analysis of hair density and diameter at baseline and 12 weeks. Pain scores and adverse effects were also documented.

Results: Thirty-two patients completed the study. The combined therapy side showed significantly increased hair density (p<0.001) and greater hair thickness (p=0.02) compared to the standard treatment side. Mild pain was reported with BoNT injections, but no serious adverse events occurred.

Conclusion: Multimodal therapy combining BoNT, LLLT, finasteride, and minoxidil offers superior improvement in hair density and thickness in AGA patients compared to standard treatments. This strategy may represent a promising, more effective approach for AGA management, meriting further investigation.

Benefits of combining multiple injection materials for anti-aging

Objectives: "This lecture aims to explore the clinical benefits of combining multiple injection materials in anti-aging treatments. Through participation in this lecture, attendees will be able to:
Understand the multiple aspects of facial aging and their impact on treatment approaches
Identify the characteristics and applications of different injection materials (polycaprolactone, poly-L-lactic acid, hyaluronic acid, and calcium hydroxylapatite)
Master strategies and techniques for combining multiple injection materials
Learn how to select optimal material combinations based on individual patient needs

Introduction: With aging, facial changes manifest in multiple aspects, including skeletal changes, ligament laxity, deep fat compartment alterations, temporal hollowing, and skin texture changes. These complex aging processes require comprehensive treatment approaches, as single injection materials often fail to achieve ideal results. This study explores the clinical benefits and personal experiences of combining multiple injection materials in anti-aging treatments.

Materials / method: The main injection materials used in this research include polycaprolactone, poly-L-lactic acid, hyaluronic acid, and calcium hydroxylapatite. Each material has distinct characteristics: the first two promote long-term collagen regeneration, suitable for point-to-point and space-to-space injections respectively; the third provides immediate hydration and volumizing effects, particularly suitable for sunken eye areas; the fourth helps improve skin texture.

Results: Clinical practice has revealed significant advantages of combining multiple injection materials: first, they provide comprehensive solutions for different aging phenomena; second, they combine immediate and long-term effects; third, they allow selection of the most suitable material combinations for different facial areas; fourth, they enable personalized treatment plans. For example, in the periorbital area, combinations of polydioxanone, collagen, hyaluronic acid with fibroblasts, and poly-L-lactic acid can be used; for facial contours, polycaprolactone can be used with firm hyaluronic acid

Conclusion: The conclusion indicates that combining multiple injection materials overcomes the limitations of single products, providing patients with more comprehensive, lasting, and natural anti-aging results. This integrated treatment approach not only improves patients' appearance but also enhances patient satisfaction and predictability of treatment outcomes.
