[BACKGROUND] Modern aesthetic trends favor noninvasive facelift procedures, shifting away from traditional surgery. This study explores the three-dimensional evaluation of facial lifting across aesthetic units using the VolNewMer (VNM) devi…

[BACKGROUND] The extracellular matrix isolated from adipose tissue, known as acellular adipose matrix (AAM), represents a novel biomaterial. AAM functions as a scaffold that not only supports stem cell proliferation and differentiation but …

[BACKGROUND] We previously showed comparable volume effects of injections of acellular adipose matrix (AAM), an adipose tissue-derived extracellular matrix, and conventional fat grafting in a murine model. Thus, AAM could be a novel allogen…

[BACKGROUND] We hypothesized that application of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) over the orbital septum overlying the herniated orbital fat to tighten and strengthen the attenuated orbital septum in lower blepharoplasty would allow successfu…

The authors present the contemporary landscape for males seeking Asian blepharoplasty and Asian rhinoplasty, with special emphasis on the unique anatomical and aesthetic considerations for this patient population. The authors highlight the …

[BACKGROUND] The heterogeneity of nasal features across different racial and ethnic groups is evident. This large-scale multicenter study was performed to evaluate the dorsal keystone area and its relation to superficial nasal anatomy throu…

Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) occurs in the capsule surrounding breast implants. Malignant transformation of T cells by bacteria-driven chronic inflammation may be underlying BIA-ALCL mechanism. Here, w…

Two-stage tissue expander/implant (TE/I) and deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flaps are the two main pillars of breast reconstruction. This study aimed to conduct a longitudinal analysis of long-term outcomes after immediate DIEP-…

[UNLABELLED] Preoperative prediction of breast volume is very important in planning breast reconstruction. In this study, we assessed the usefulness of a novel method for preoperative estimation of mastectomy volume by comparing the weight …

Choosing reliable recipient vessels is crucial for successful free flap reconstruction of lower extremity defects, especially in patients with ischemic vasculopathy. This report describes our experience with the intraoperative use of indocy…

The anterolateral thigh (ALT) skin flap provides abundant, thin, pliable skin coverage with adequate pedicle length and calibre, and tolerable donor site morbidity. However, coverage of relatively large defects using the ALT flap alone is l…

[BACKGROUND] Despite several technical modifications to further reduce donor invasiveness in harvesting deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flaps, techniques with general applicability and demonstrating clinical benefits are scarce. …

[BACKGROUND] Neuromuscular retraining therapy (NMRT) is the central treatment for synkinesis. The efficacy of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) may be enhanced with the addition of physical therapy. [OBJECTIVES] To investigate the effects of …

[BACKGROUND] One of the main concerns of patients who undergo hair transplantation surgery such as follicular unit strip surgery is scar widening on surgical sites. Until now, trichophytic suture, double-layer suture, tattoos, follicular un…

[OBJECTIVE] To evaluate the readmission rate after orthognathic surgery and identify associated risk factors. [STUDY DESIGN] Retrospective analysis of patients who underwent orthognathic surgery and had an unexpected hospital admission, wi…

[RATIONALE] Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is rare, but its incidence has recently increased. It is characterized by a sudden onset of seroma collection after implantation of textured breast implants. Ho…

The scalp is the thickest skin in the body and protects the intracranial structures. The coverage of a large scalp defect is a difficult surgical procedure, the full details of which must be considered prior to the procedure, such as defect…

Widespread use of smartphones and wireless internet have made YouTube an easily accessible educational modality. Many residents use YouTube to acquire knowledge regarding microsurgical techniques; however, its quality and effect has not bee…

[BACKGROUND] The paucity of reliable recipient vessels adjacent to defects poses a great challenge in free flap reconstruction. Although the use of interposition vein grafts to cover the vascular gap is common, its potential association wit…

[INTRODUCTION] In case of zygomaticomaxillary fibrous dysplasia (FD), surgical treatment is often required due to visual disturbance, exophthalmos, and also necessary for cosmetic reasons. However, it is not easy to determine the timing and…

[BACKGROUND] Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated facial lipoatrophy (FLA) is a stigmatizing side effect associated with the use of highly active antiretroviral therapy. We sought to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the hyaluron…

[BACKGROUND] Dermal fillers are gaining interest for tissue enlargement and skin improvement. Among them, polynucleotides have demonstrated multiple skin beneficial effects. The effects of polynucleotide fillers were objectively evaluated u…

[BACKGROUND] The present study was designed to test the hypothesis that botulinum toxin would prolong the duration of a lumbar sympathetic block measured through a sustained increase in skin temperature. The authors performed a randomized, …

[OBJECTIVE] Patients with overactive bladder (OAB) refractory to first- and second-line therapy may pursue third-line therapies, including intradetrusor onabotulinum toxin-A (BTX), peripheral tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS), and sacral neur…

[PURPOSE] To investigate changes in the upper and lower eyelid positions using information from before and immediately after surgery in patients who underwent upper blepharoplasty and ptosis surgery. [MATERIALS AND METHODS] We retrospectiv…

[BACKGROUND] Upper blepharoplasty is 1 of the most popular cosmetic procedures in Asia. As people become older, they develop soft tissue atrophy and multiple folds due to a sunken upper eyelid. Furthermore, people with thin upper eyelid ski…

The congenital non-syndromic nonfamilial isolated absence of nasal structure is exceedingly rare. In this article, we present the sixth case of isolated aplasia of lower lateral cartilage. We have discussed the new technique of reconstructi…

[PURPOSE] The 2020-2021 interview cycle for integrated plastic surgery applicants was the first to be held virtually because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Here, we detail the largest study on integrated plastic surgery applicant perceptions aft…

[BACKGROUND] Microsurgery is generally performed in narrow spaces with limited movement. Endoscopes that allow for angle changes have been developed using elastic materials, but they require a large bending space. We propose a new endoscope…

[OBJECTIVE] An infundibulum of the posterior communicating artery (PcomA) or infundibular dilatation (ID) is considered to be a benign anatomical variant. However, some evidence suggests that ID is a pre-aneurysmal state. This case series p…
