[BACKGROUND] The longevity of a brow lift, its morphology, and its contribution to overall facial aesthetics have not been addressed in previous studies using both objective measurements and validated subjective aesthetic scoring systems. …

[BACKGROUND] The longevity of face-lift surgery is a key question that has not been adequately addressed by previous studies. No study has used standardized photographs, objective measurements, or validated subjective scoring systems. [MET…

[BACKGROUND] Ecchymosis, oedema, haematoma and pain after SMAS-based facelift surgery are all the direct result of the physical trauma of surgery and subsequent inflammatory response. Hilotherapy is a novel form of cryotherapy that purports…

Macrolane™, an injectable compound composed of hyaluronic acid, has recently been marketed for breast enhancement. Three patients who presented to the authors with complications soon after treatment elsewhere are reported. One had severe in…

[BACKGROUND] Procedures combining a short scar with superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) manipulation are increasingly popular for patients with early signs of mid- and lower-facial laxity seeking rhytidectomy. We present the senior…

The case notes of 278 consecutive patients who underwent abdominoplasty, during a five-year period, in one institution under the care of four surgeons were reviewed. Patient details, early and late complications and revision procedures were…

Hematoma remains the most common complication of rhytidectomy and can lead to prolonged facial edema and skin necrosis. A number of ancillary procedures have been suggested to reduce hematoma, including dressings, drains, fibrin glue, tumes…

Tumescent infiltration has been widely used in body-contouring surgery to facilitate dissection and reduce blood loss. Although its use in facial surgery has been suggested, there are presently no comparative studies of its efficacy. The ai…

Haematoma remains the most common complication of rhytidectomy and can lead to prolonged facial oedema or skin necrosis. The factors leading to haematoma formation remain unclear, and studies establishing causal relationships are lacking. T…
