[BACKGROUND] Medial arterial calcification (MAC) is emerging as a tool to predict adverse limb events, but its effects on microsurgery are unknown. This study evaluates the effects of MAC on microsurgical limb salvage outcomes. [METHODS] P…

[BACKGROUND] The infraorbital region is one of the most complex and esthetically critical areas of the face. Age-related changes, such as infraorbital groove and infraorbital fat bulging, frequently coexist and vary significantly among indi…

In patients with large areolae, undefined nipple contours, or herniation of glandular tissue around the areola, achieving an aesthetically pleasing nipple shape that effectively reduces the areolar size, minimizes recurrence, and remains sc…

Capsular contracture (CC) is a common complication associated with breast implant surgery and is characterized by excessive fibrotic tissue formation around the implant. However, there is no established gold-standard treatment to prevent CC…

[BACKGROUND] Studies have demonstrated a correlation between Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) and hypercoagulability. This study evaluates CDI in patients undergoing lower extremity (LE) free tissue transfer (FTT) and quantifies its im…

[BACKGROUND] An in-depth and detailed facial assessment is critical in treating and achieving desirable dermal filler and neurotoxin results. [METHODS] An acronym called A.S.S.E.S.S. simplifies an often complex and overwhelming amount of d…

[BACKGROUND] Hyaluronic acid (HA) filler injections are widely known to be safe; however, they cause rare and severe complications such as visual loss. No standardized treatment protocol has been established because of the rarity and hetero…

MBA-P01 is a newly developed botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) product designed to provide similar clinical effects as OnabotulinumtoxinA (ONA-BoNT-A), thereby providing an alternative treatment option for glabellar lines. It is another holotoxin …

Aging affects the face and eyebrow areas, with various resultant procedures for lifting the eyebrows. Recently, thread lifting using absorbable threads has become increasingly popular, with the advantages of a faster recovery and no visible…

[SUMMARY] Upper eyelid retraction often results from overcorrection of the levator palpebrae muscle during upper eyelid surgery. In such patients, the time between wound healing and reoperation may be prolonged and could result in symptoms,…

[BACKGROUND] The subbrow approach is reportedly more effective than upper blepharoplasty for improving lateral hooding. Additionally, it allows for the removal of thick periorbital fat while simultaneously tightening weakened and sagging or…

Masseter are commonly botulinum neurotoxin targeted muscle for facial contouring in aesthetic field. However, paradoxical masseteric bulging is common adverse effect that has not been discussed with ultrasonographic observations. Retrospect…

 Hyaluronic acid fillers can be manufactured using various processes. They have multiple properties, including their concentration, degree of modification, and rheological data. Cohesion is one such property to evaluate gel integrity; howev…

The etiology and pathophysiology of delayed inflammatory reactions caused by hyaluronic acid fillers have not yet been elucidated. Previous studies have suggested that the etiology can be attributed to the hyaluronic acid filler itself, pat…

[BACKGROUND] A hyaluronic acid filler is a viscoelastic substance that can be evaluated by rheology. Rheological properties are important for the longevity of the filler, which can be deformed due to the various forces that exist on the fac…

Potential disruptions in the biocompatibility of hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers can arise with mono-linked 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDE) or unreacted (pendant) 1,4-butanediol di-(propan-2,3-diolyl) ether. Assessing the filler's degre…

[IMPORTANCE] Millions of people rely on social media platforms, including TikTok, for health-related information. TikTok has not yet been evaluated as an information source for overactive bladder (OAB) third-line therapies. [OBJECTIVES] Ou…

[BACKGROUND] Botulinum toxin (BoNT) has evolved as a popular treatment for various medical and aesthetic conditions since the 1980s. The emergence of new liquid formulation BoNT products in the industry highlights the need to evaluate the v…

[AIMS] Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery (URPS) fellowship can be pursued after completion of either a urology (URO) or obstetrics and gynecology (GYN) residency. Our aim is to determine differences in graduating fellow cohort…

Purpose Following the introduction of new type of botulinum toxin (MBA-P01), a recent phase 3 study demonstrated that MBA-P01 showed comparable efficacy and safety to onabotulinumtoxin A for reducing glabellar lines. The primary objective o…

Facial massages are frequently performed to achieve a feeling of freshness, rejuvenation, skin tightening, and delayed onset of wrinkles. However, vigorous massages can induce unexpected symptoms. Here, we present a case of a woman who comp…

Facelifting techniques have been developed over time to mask the aging process. However, conventional facelifts cause scarring. Because of patient demands, various noninvasive lifting techniques have been introduced, including absorbable th…

The main cause of domed nipples is increased pressure, which causes the breast tissue to herniate toward the nipple-areola complex. It appears as a characteristic of a tuberous breast rather than occurring alone, and the boundary between th…

[BACKGROUND] Transumbilical breast augmentation (TUBA) with saline implants has been considered a safe and efficient technique for decades. However, because silicone implants are more popular than saline ones, TUBA with saline implants is n…

Although hyaluronic acid (HA) filler injections are associated with various non-vascular inflammatory complications, the underlying mode of action remains unclear. The hyaluronic acid filler may not be sufficiently pure, leading to an immun…

Doppler ultrasound can be used to detect almost all arteries of the face before injecting the hyaluronic acid (HA) filler. The relatively more dangerous sites of filler injection are the glabellar wrinkle, forehead, temple, nose, and nasola…
