Objective:To investigate the effect of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (E-PTFE) combined with autologous costal cartilage in rhinoplasty.Methods:Forty-two patients who underwent rhinoplasty in the form of E-PTFE combined with autologous costal cartilage in the Department of Plastic Surgery, Jiangsu Province Hospital of Chinese Medicine from January 2017 to December 2018 were selected as the research object. The polytetrafluoroethylene combined with autologous costal cartilage was used for rhinoplasty. The dorsal nasal skin was dissected through an inverted " V" type combined with subalar cartilage incision, and then the costal cartilage was cut into appropriate cartilage slices to build the nasal tip stent. According to the degree of elevation of the nasal dorsum, the sculpted E-PTFE was placed under the nasal dorsal fascia. The rectus abdominis fascia covered the apex of the nose, and the incision was closed by suture.Results:The nasal appearance of the forty-two patients was significantly improved, with good nasal shape and no serious complications. After 6-12 months of follow-up, 40 cases were satisfacted with the effect of the rhinoplasty, accounting for 95.2%.Conclusions:The use of polytetrafluoroethylene combined with autologous costal cartilage can effectively raise the dorsum of the nose, extend the length of the nose, project the nasal tip in the rhinoplasty. This procedure is accurate and safe, reach a favorable long-term shape and own high satisfaction, and it thus is worthy of popularization in clinic.

Objective:To evaluate the curative effect of autogenous cartilage transplantation in the correction of nasal soft-tissue triangle deformities aided by 3D technology.Methods:From January 2016 to January 2018, 32 patients with nasal soft-tissue triangle deformities were collected, with 7 males and 25 females, aged from 18 to 32 years (mean 28.5±6.8 years). A part of the costal cartilage/nasal septum cartilage or auricular cartilage was cut as repair material, which was carved into strips, and used as nasal alar rim grafts to reconstruct the dome shape and correct the nasal soft triangle deformities. The costal cartilage or nasal septum cartilage was used to strengthen the support of the columella nasi and augmentation rhinoplasty was performed with prosthesis, and the fascia was placed on nose tip to relieve tension. The surgical results were evaluated by comparing the pre- and post-operative images; statistical analysis was conducted to compare the difference of alar cartilage angle along inside and outside implants before and after the fornix reconstruction, and the difference of maximum distance from the nostrils long shaft to the nose flange between pre- and post-operation, and so the effect of nasal soft triangular deformity correction was evaluated.Results:The alar cartilage angle of the 32 patients was (51.5±10.9)° before surgery, and decreased to (37.2±5.9)° after surgery; the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The maximum distance from the nostrils long shaft to the nose flange was (3.3±0.6) mm before surgery, and it reduced to (1.9±0.7) mm after surgery; the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The patients were followed up for 6 to 18 months, and the result showed that the curative effect was significant, with good appearance and natural feeling, and there were no serious complications, and the satisfactory rate was 87.5%. Conclusions:Autogenous cartilage is used to repair nasal soft-tissue triangle deformities aided by 3D technology; the nasal morphology is improved delicately, and the postoperative satisfaction of curative effect is high, which is an ideal surgical method.

Objective:To study the prevalence of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) in patients with plastic and cosmetic by performing meta-analysis.Methods:We searched, collected and screened the published studies on the prevalence of BDD in population with cosmetic surgery at home and abroad, and conducted a meta-analysis to calculate the prevalence of BDD in this population. The literatures were screened strictly according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the quality of the included studies was evaluated with reference to AHRQ scale. Cochrane Q test was used to analyze the heterogeneity among the studies. If there was no heterogeneity, the fixed effect model was used for the pooled analysis of effect size. If there was heterogeneity, the random effect model was used for the pooled analysis of effect size, and the potential sources of heterogeneity were tested by meta regression, and subgroup analysis was performed. Sensitivity analysis was performed to test the stability of the result. Funnel plot was used to determine whether publication bias existed.Results:Thirteen articles were finally included in the meta-analysis, including 4 Chinese articles and 9 English articles, with a total sample size of 3 366 cases. A total of 435 cases of BDD were detected. The AHRQ scores of the 13 articles were greater or equal to 4 points. Heterogeneity test showed that there was a high degree of heterogeneity among the 13 studies, so the random effect model was used for pooled analysis of effect size. The results showed that the prevalence rate of BDD in population with plastic surgery was 13% (95% CI 9% - 18%). Sensitivity analysis shows that the result calculated by the random effect model are stable and reliable. Meta regression analysis showed that the difference of surgical site was one of the reasons for heterogeneity. Thirteen articles were divided into two groups according to patients with rhinoplasty and plastic surgery in other parts, and meta-analysis was conducted respectively. There were 3 articles in rhinoplasty group and 10 articles in other part of the plastic surgery. The result showed that the prevalence of BDD was 29% (95% CI 24% - 35%) in rhinoplasty group and 9% (95% CI 8% -10%) group with plastic surgery in other parts. Funnel plot analysis showed that there was no publication bias in this study. Conclusions:About 9% of the people with cosmetic surgery suffer from BDD, and the prevalence of BDD in the people seeking nasal plastic surgery can be as high as 29%. Plastic surgeons should pay special attention to this kind of people in clinical work, and use appropriate screening tools to identify them, so as to provide more scientific diagnosis and treatment plan for patients. Aesthetic plastic surgeons should pay attention to the evaluation of patients’ psychological state in clinical work.
