[BACKGROUND] Three-dimensional (3D) stereophotogrammetry has become an essential tool in anthropometry for both clinical and aesthetic purposes. However, to our knowledge, no standardized and validated 3D protocol specifically targeting the…

[BACKGROUND] Facial botulinum toxin type A injections are among the most common procedures in the field of aesthetic surgery. However, this procedure requires practitioners to have a comprehensive understanding of the anatomical distributio…

[BACKGROUND] Conventional botulinum toxin type A (BoNT/A) products include non-therapeutic accessory proteins vary in composition and manufacturing processes, which may contribute to differences in purity and biochemical characteristics. YY…

[BACKGROUND] YY001 (Retoxin ®), the first global recombinant botulinum toxin type A (rBoNT/A) tested in humans, contains a pure 150-kDa core neurotoxin identical to natural BoNT/A (nBoNT/A). This study aimed to evaluate the safety and preli…

Meige syndrome is a rare segmental dystonia characterized by blepharospasm and oromandibular dystonia, often leading to significant functional and aesthetic impairment. This report details a 59-year-old female patient with a 16-year history…

[PURPOSE] To develop and validate a subject-specific finite element (FE) modeling framework that estimates breast hyperelastic parameters from in vivo, gravity-driven deformation, and to investigate whether post-augmentation breasts with si…

[OBJECTIVE] To evaluate the efficacy of autologous fascial adipose tissue transplantation for correcting glabellar frown lines during facial rejuvenation surgery. [METHODS] A retrospective study (2007-2023) analyzed patients with glabellar…

[BACKGROUND] Upper blepharoplasty is the most common cosmetic procedure in East Asia. A natural Asian double eyelid features specific crease characteristics. AI advancements, such as UNet and PointRend, enhance medical image segmentation, a…

[BACKGROUND] Direct-to-implant (DTI) breast reconstruction restores patient body image immediately after mastectomy but may increase postoperative complications compared to tissue expander (TE)-based breast reconstruction. Few studies have …

[BACKGROUND] The jawline and neck significantly influence facial aesthetics. Botulinum toxin and filler are highly favored as minimally invasive jawline rejuvenation procedures. However, little evidence exists on the age-related skin and su…

[BACKGROUND] Hyamax® Monophasic Volumizer Dermal Fillers is a newly designed hyaluronic acid soft tissue filler for chin augmentation. [METHODS] A prospective, single-center, evaluator-blinded, randomized controlled study was designed to e…

[BACKGROUND] Localized scleroderma (LoS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by fibrosis of the skin and atrophy of the subcutaneous fat tissue. Use of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) is a promising treatment approach for L…

Smooth implants, favored for their lower risk of rupture and BIA-ALCL, encounter stability challenges in preventing implant displacement and bottoming out. Therefore, a stronger support of the lower pole is necessary to immobilize the impla…

[BACKGROUND] Because of concerns related to breast implant-associated anaplastic large-cell lymphoma, smooth implants are being increasingly used instead of textured breast implants. However, lack of sufficient lower-pole support for smooth…

[BACKGROUND] The correction of tear trough deformities is a significant challenge. The aim of this study is to present a new technique of using wide, adjustable external traction fixation in conjunctival approach orbital fat reposition surg…

[BACKGROUND] Lower blepharoplasty is a widely used cosmetic surgical procedure to improve under-eye bags and tear trough deformities, aiming to enhance facial aesthetics and achieve a more youthful appearance. The formation of these deformi…

[RATIONALE] Complications associated with breast implants pose a significant obstacle to improving the quality of life for patients undergoing implant-based breast reconstruction. Due to the intricate nature of their presentation, diagnosis…

[BACKGROUND] Injectable poly-D,L-lactic acid (PDLLA), under the brand name of AestheFill (REGEN Biotech, Inc., Seoul, South Korea), is a biocompatible, biodegradable, and biostimulatory product utilized to correct soft tissue volume loss. I…

Parotid gland fistula after microtia reconstruction is relatively rare, with only 3 cases having been reported in the literature. It may be caused by the presence of an accessory parotid gland or surgical damage to parotid gland tissues. Th…

The contour of the neck and shoulder is defined by the trapezius muscle (TM). Beyond facial procedures, botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) injections has been increasingly adopted to create a smooth shoulder line. Several studies described the intr…

[BACKGROUND] Botulinum toxin is administered to paralyze the gastrocnemius muscle and reduce its size, thereby improving the calf contour and reducing the leg circumference of the calf. [OBJECTIVES] In pursuit of better efficacy, we design…

[BACKGROUND] The depressor anguli oris muscle (DAO) is a pivotal treatment target when creating a harmonic jawline. However, evidence of its live morphology remains scarce. [OBJECTIVES] In this study we aimed to reevaluate the DAO with a f…

[BACKGROUND] Although the efficacy of botulinum toxin type A (BoNTA) has been shown to vary depending on injection layer, reconstitution volume, and BoNTA formulation, the effect of injection pattern has rarely been mentioned. The authors c…
