[BACKGROUND] Despite the implication of bacterial biofilms in the etiology of capsular contracture, there is limited research on the microbial structure of the contracted capsule. Moreover, the potential role of the skin microbiome in capsu…

Dorsal foot defects are difficult to cover and often require major flap surgery by microsurgeons, even for defects of limited sizes. Intrinsic adipofascial flaps for small-sized complex defects are simple and do not require microsurgery; th…

A pseudotumor of the tensor fascia lata (TFL) describes a rare condition characterized by hypertrophy or pseudohypertrophy of the TFL that can mimic a soft tissue mass. Without the right clinical suspicion, it can be misdiagnosed as a benig…

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 …

[BACKGROUND] There is a lack of consensus regarding the effectiveness of salivary bypass tubes during total pharyngectomy reconstruction to prevent pharyngocutaneous fistula or pharyngoesophageal stricture. [METHODS] Our study examined tub…

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…

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…

[BACKGROUND] Owing to the increase in the number of medical procedures performed every year, the frequency of filler injection-related complications has also increased. Although slow, gentle injections with low pressure are usually consider…

Hip adductor spasticity is a contributing factor to hip dislocation in patients with cerebral palsy (CP). We hypothesized that botulinum toxin injected into the hip adductor muscles would reduce spasticity and help prevent hip dislocation. …

[BACKGROUND] The rates of aesthetic breast augmentation have risen substantially in Asia. Outcomes of various breast augmentation approaches in Asia have not been comprehensively studied. In the past, the inframammary approach to breast aug…

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are paracrine factors that mediate stem cell therapeutics. We aimed at evaluating the possible therapeutic and esthetic applications of EVs prepared from the waste human facial tissue-derived orbicularis oculi m…

[OBJECTIVE] The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the pre- and postsurgical bone densities at alveolar and extra-alveolar sites following twojaw orthognathic surgery. [METHODS] The sample consisted of 10 patients (mean age, 2…

Implants based on silicone elastomers, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), have been widely used for breast augmentation and reconstruction, but excessive foreign body reactions around implants often cause serious side effects such as capsular con…

[UNLABELLED] Filling of the orbitomalar sulcus through fat conservation and relocation is important for the lower eyelid rejuvenation procedure and has been reported on extensively. This study aimed to introduce a new technique-downward rot…

Relapsing polychondritis (RP) is a rare autoimmune disorder of unknown etiology characterized by recurrent episodes of inflammation and the destruction of cartilaginous tissues, primarily involving the ear, nose, and the respiratory tract. …

[BACKGROUND] It has been generally speculated that paraspinal muscle weakness is related to the spinal degeneration including intervertebral disc failure. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of paraspinal muscle weaknes…

A lumbar sympathetic ganglion block (LSB) is a therapeutic method for complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) affecting the lower limbs. Recently, LSB with botulinum toxin type A and B was introduced as a novel method to achieve longer durati…

[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…

Crouzon syndrome is a rare genetic disorder with autosomal-dominant inheritance that shows a triad of hallmark characteristics: craniosynostosis, exophthalmos, and midface retrusion. General treatment protocol for patients with Crouzon synd…

This study confirms that botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT-A) decreases capsular contracture and elucidates a possible mechanism. Silicone blocks were implanted subcutaneously in 20 mice. The experimental groups received BoNT-A (1, 2·5 or 5…

Dystonia has a wide range of causes, but treatment of dystonia is limited to minimizing the symptoms as there is yet no successful treatment for its cause. One of the optimal treatment methods for dystonia is chemodenervation using botulinu…

In this study, we developed a composite filler comprising cross-linked hyaluronic acid (HA) and human collagen (COL) derived from the human umbilical cord with the aim of improving its biocompatibility and longevity compared with commercial…

Facial rejuvenation procedures can be roughly divided into face lift surgery and nonoperative, less invasive procedures, such as fat grafts, fillers, botulinum toxin injections, thread lifts, or laserbrasion. Face lift surgery or rhytidecto…

Despite their popular use in breast augmentation and reconstruction surgeries, the limited biocompatibility of silicone implants can induce severe side effects, including capsular contracture - an excessive foreign body reaction that forms …

[BACKGROUND] Recently, autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has attracted attention in various medical fields, including plastic and orthopedic surgery and dermatology, for its ability to promote wound healing. PRP has been tested during f…

A subperiosteal face lift rejuvenates the midface and periorbital region by restoring facial muscle tone. Since 1993, the authors have performed this procedure on Oriental patients who have their own distinct facial contours: the brachyceph…

Two embryologically and histologically distinct layers of the subcutaneous adipose tissue were treated individually by different modalities. The authors performed ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty at the superficial layer and traditional sucti…
