[OBJECTIVE] Three-dimensional (3D) surface imaging technology has become a valuable method for quantifying the area and volume of periocular structures. This study aimed to assess upper eyelid volume changes in East Asian patients before an…

[BACKGROUND] East Asian women often present with mild nasal contour imperfections for which they are unwilling to undergo open rhinoplasty because the potential risks outweigh the modest severity. Autologous fat grafting is a mature techniq…

[BACKGROUND] Two-suture longitudinal intussusception vasoepididymostomy (LIVE) surgery has been confirmed by many studies in the treatment of epididymal obstruction; however, the success rate and anastomotic patency rate are not high, which…

[BACKGROUND] Circumferential thigh and calf liposuction has become increasingly popular in Asia. The traditional method involves knee and ankle incisions, which may leave obvious scarring. To improve postoperative satisfaction and make this…

[INTRODUCTION] Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT/A) is an effective non-surgical method for treating gummy smile (GS). This systematic review evaluated the efficacy, duration, and safety of different BoNT/A injections. [METHODS] Four electronic…

[BACKGROUND] Abdominal contouring through liposuction has been practiced for decades. However, few studies have focused on describing the definition and enhancement of the waistline in torso contouring procedures. [OBJECTIVES] In the prese…

[BACKGROUND] Gluteal ptosis results in a severe disturbance of gluteal aesthetics. Currently, satisfactory procedures for improving gluteal ptosis are lacking. [OBJECTIVES] To improve gluteal ptosis, the authors propose a novel concept of …

[BACKGROUND] This study aims to assess the feasibility and efficacy of a three mini-incision upper blepharoplasty combined with simultaneous orbital fat pad repositioning for correcting primary multiple upper eyelid folds in East Asians. […

[OBJECTIVE] Acellular dermal matrix (ADM) is a new dermal transplant replacement material prepared from allogeneic or xenograft skin through bioengineering technology. This is provided for patients who are unwilling to kill part of their au…

[BACKGROUND] Botulinum toxin type A is an easy and efficacious treatment for gingival smile. However, the optimal dose and injection site are controversial. The authors compared the reduction in gingival exposure using two methods with diff…

[BACKGROUND] Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the most serious complications of diabetes. Rhein has been reported to be effective in treating DN. This study aimed to investigate the role and mechanism of rhein in the treatment of DN. [M…

[BACKGROUND] The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about significant changes in the medical field, yet the use of botulinum toxin type A has remained uninterrupted. Plastic surgeons must carefully consider the timing of administering botulinum …

Treatment of wrinkles and dynamic lines with botulinum toxin has been a routine practice for years in aesthetic clinical settings. The effective treatment of wrinkles requires a comprehensive understanding of facial expression muscles and t…

[CONTEXT.—] In the 2017 revised World Health Organization classification of tumors of hematopoietic and lymphoid tissues, some mature T-cell lymphomas were reclassified and a few new provisional entities were established based on new data f…

Inspired by the rapid angiogenesis of natural microvessels in vivo, engineered customizable microvessels (ECMVs) are developed which can naturally angiogenic sprout and induce vascular network formation via combing a celluar coaxial microfl…

[BACKGROUND] Clinical classification methods for periocular wrinkles based on participating muscle behavior are lacking, and traditional treatment lacks detailed and individualized methods. [AIMS] This study aimed to propose a modified cla…

[BACKGROUND] The optimal fat processing technique of fat grafting has not been determined. We have proved the importance of washing lipoaspirate to remove blood, but the necessity of washing when there is no obvious bleeding during liposuct…

[BACKGROUND] Fat transplantation is a common method employed to treat soft-tissue defects. The dedifferentiation of mature adipocytes has been well documented, but whether it occurs after fat transplantation remains unclear. [OBJECTIVES] T…

[BACKGROUND] Fat grafting is widely used for soft-tissue augmentation; however, the related clinical outcome remains variable and technique-dependent. The mechanisms underlying fat graft survival are not fully understood, particularly regar…

[BACKGROUND] An ovoid, slender face with a smooth contour is preferred in oriental esthetics. We developed a novel concept to achieve a slimmer and harmonious midface contour by liposuction of the projection area of the zygomatic arch. [ME…

[BACKGROUND] Autologous fat transplantation has been used for breast nearly 40 years, but there are two main problems: the volume retention rate is unpredictable, leading to too many operations, and various complications, such as nodules, n…

[BACKGROUND] Fat processing plays a pivotal role in graft survival. Each component of the blood in lipoaspirate affects fat survival in different ways, but the mechanisms are not clear. [OBJECTIVES] The aim of this study was to investigate…
