[BACKGROUND] A complete release of the transverse nasalis aponeurotic fibers (TNAFs) during Asian rhinoplasty is critical for accurate positioning of the nasal implant and lengthening of the short nose. The objectives of this article are to…

[BACKGROUND] Prominent ear is the most common external ear deformity. To comprehensively treat prominent ear deformity, adequate comprehension of its pathophysiology is crucial. In this article, we analyze cases of prominent ear and suggest…

Adult stem cells have been studied as a promising therapeutic modality for the functional restoration of the damaged heart. In the present study, a strategy for enhancing the angiogenic efficacy of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) using…

[OBJECTIVES] The researchers analyzed facial patterns in subjects with facial synkinesis after facial paralysis and evaluated the involved muscles to aid in the development of effective treatments for facial synkinesis. [METHODS] A total o…

[BACKGROUND] Chronic facial paralysis induces degenerative facial muscle changes on the involved side, thus, making the individual seem as older than their actual age. Furthermore, contralateral facial hypertrophy aggravates facial asymmetr…

Botulinum toxins (BoNTs) A and E block neurotransmitter release by specifically cleaving the C- terminal ends of SNAP-25, a plasma membrane SNARE protein. Here, we find that SNAP-25A and E, the cleavage products of BoNT A and E, respectivel…

[BACKGROUND] This study reports two cases of conjunctival granuloma with necrosis caused by an exposed suture in the upper palpebral conjunctiva masquerading as ocular surface squamous neoplasia. [CASE PRESENTATION] Two patients presented …

[BACKGROUND] To resolve nasal obstruction in rhinoplasty, inferior turbinate outfracture is performed widely alone or combined with other procedures. There are conflicting reports on the effect of inferior turbinate outfracture. This study …

[CONCLUSION] Wider-area botulinum toxin (BT) injection with the dosage depending on specific pathology is a promising approach for the treatment of hemifacial spasm (HFS), resulting in effective and long-lasting control of HFS with fewer si…

[BACKGROUND] Reduction malarplasty to correct prominent malar complex is popular in Asians. Despite the popularity of reduction malarplasty, most of the surgical methods applied are not selected according to the degree of zygoma protrusion.…

Different researchers have recommended different lipoaspirate centrifugation speeds and times, probably due to the limits in fat cell viability assays. We assessed fat cell viability using a fluorescein diacetate and propidium iodide (FDA-P…

[OBJECTIVES] Although an alveolar air leak (AAL) after pulmonary resection is a troublesome complication that diminishes a patient's quality of life and increases medical costs, current treatment and preventive methods for AAL are not effec…

[BACKGROUND] The survival rate of grafted hairs in hair transplantation has been frequently discussed by many hair-transplant surgeons. Several factors, including skill of doctors and assistants and the amount of perifollicular connective t…

[BACKGROUND] The purpose of this study was to determine whether seroma formation following abdominoplasty is associated with simultaneous liposuction of the flanks and to stratify the risk of developing seromas according to body mass index.…

The aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a benign, solitary lesion of bone which is most commonly found in the long bones and vertebral column. Its occurrence in the mandible is uncommon. Because of its infrequent appearance, the ABC may be mistak…

We present a method for repairing defects in the craniofacial region in which an elastomer-coated mesh is used as a template with bone paste. The method was developed by animal experimentation first, and then successfully used in the maxill…
