Although many techniques are described about the amount of the product and steps to follow to obtain, practitioners still need clarification about the amount of product and steps to follow obtain natural and safe results. We aim to demonstrate a new technique with a systematic sequence that considers the anatomy and individual characteristics. The nonsurgical elementary rhinoplasty (NOSER) technique is performed in five steps using cannulas, a high G prime hyaluronic acid, and two injection entry points. The areas to be treated and the specific quantity of filler to be used are based on the assessment. Steps 1 to 3 are for the tip's projection, support and lift, and step 4 is for filling the radix area and straightening the dorsum. Step 5 is used for refinement and softening of the supratip. All five steps are done in small aliquots in the central area, at the deep plane. Through the procedure, it is possible to achieve an aesthetic improvement in the nose by widening the labial columellar angle, exposing the columella, projecting the tip, and aligning the dorsum (disguising the hump), even without performing all five steps. This technique could be a good and highly reproducible alternative for upgrading the nose contour.</p>","PeriodicalId":47204,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Plastic Surgery","volume":"58 2","pages":"139-145"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12084090/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144095181","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After surgical excision, group A received combination therapy of intramarginal 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and triamcinolone acetonide (TCA), while group B received only TCA, followed by compression therapy in both. <b>Results</b> Eighty-seven patients had keloids on ear lobules, 25 (20.8%) on helix, and 8 (6.7%) over multiple locations on ear. Ninety-two (76.7%) had keloids over bilateral, 18 (15%) on left, and 10 (8.3%) on right ear. Sixty-three (52.5%) belonged to third, 65 (54.2%) to fourth, and 8 (6.7%) to fifth decade of life. Overall recurrence rate was 21.7 and 38.3% in group A and B, respectively. Recurrence was seen in 2 from group A (male:female 2:0) and 4 from group B (male:female 3:1) at 3 months, in 7 from group A (male:female 5:2) and 13 in group B (male:female 8:5) at 6 months, and in 4 from group A (male:female 3:1) and 6 from group B (male:female 5:1) at 1 year. Overall, pain was reported by 9 and 7 from group A and B, respectively, and burning sensation by 3 and 1 from group A and B, respectively. Ulceration was noted in 2, wound dehiscence in 1 and transient hyperpigmentation in 2 from group A. Based on the Vancouver Scar Scale, outcome on follow-up had an average of 3.5 at 3 months, 4.2 at 6 months, and 4.8 at 1 year in group A, and 3.8 at 3 months, 4.7 at 6 months, and 5.4 at 1 year in group B. <b>Conclusion</b> Multimodal approach of combination therapy of intramarginal 5-FU and TCA with compression therapy after surgical excision of keloids in ears yields lower recurrence rate when compared with TCA alone. Chances of recurrence are more common in males than females. Though intramarginal 5-FU in combination with TCA has more localized side effects than TCA alone yet lower recurrence rate and better results in the long term can overcome the mild severity of these side effects.</p>","PeriodicalId":47204,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Plastic Surgery","volume":"58 2","pages":"105-109"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12084103/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144095236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the ideal site for dimple creation remains subjective. This study aimed to determine the optimal dimple placement using a three-dimensional (3D) model, reviewing panelists' preferences based on facial proportions and average ratings. <b>Materials and Methods</b> A 3D model was used to assess three dimple placement points: Point A (intersection of the external canthus and Cupid's bow), point B (Khoo Boo-Chai point), and point C (site based on smile dynamics). Panelists reviewed these points on faces with different proportions using three facial ratios: ratio 1 (Tr-Me / lc r-lc l), ratio 2 (Tr-Nos / Nos-Me), and ratio 3 (Me-Lip / Lip-Nos). Panelists provided average ratings for each site based on aesthetic appeal relative to these ratios. <b>Results</b> Point A received higher ratings for faces with a lower ratio 1 (wider faces). Point B was preferred in faces with higher ratio 1 (elongated faces) and lower ratio 2, receiving the highest average rating for balanced aesthetics. Point C was favored in faces with higher ratios 2 and 3, indicating dominance in the mid and lower facial thirds. Point B had the highest average rating overall. <b>Conclusion</b> These results emphasize the importance of considering facial proportions for optimal dimple placement and individualized cosmetic outcomes.
