[BACKGROUND] Little is known about long-term esthetic outcomes after re-exploration for microvascular compromise in autologous breast reconstruction. We assessed long-term breast volume symmetry and introduced a symmetry-based "true salvage…

[BACKGROUND] Lower-eyelid surgery by means of the transcutaneous approach is challenging because of common complications such as ectropion and scleral show. [METHODS] The authors devised a transcutaneous lower-eyelid technique that incorpo…

[BACKGROUND] Machine-learning technology is currently being introduced into the medical field and has been shown to aid diagnostic imaging, patient examinations, patient-data analysis, various surgical aspects, and medical education. Recent…

Free-flap reconstruction of head-and-neck defects is often complicated by a vessel-depleted neck after prior surgery or radiotherapy. Conventional alternatives-such as using contralateral vessels, distant recipient vessels, or interposition…

Aquafilling is a hydrophilic gel composed of 98% physiological saline and 2% polyacrylamide gel, introduced in Japan in 2015 for breast augmentation. Despite its initial popularity, it has been associated with severe complications, includin…

Open-window thoracostomy is an effective treatment for refractory postpneumonectomy empyema. However, it can leave large thoracic dead space, and bronchopleural fistulas (BPF) are a common major complication. These problems can be treated w…

[BACKGROUND] There are advantages and disadvantages to both immediate 1-stage and 2-stage autologous-breast reconstruction. The 2-stage procedure may suffer from a hitherto overlooked difficulty: the tissue expander may induce chest wall de…

[BACKGROUND] Intralesional corticosteroid administration (ICA) is a first-line keloid treatment. However, it faces significant variability in current clinical and scientific practice, which hinders comparability of treatment results. [OBJE…

In general, facial nerve palsy is treated by reconstructive surgeons, and the role of cosmetic surgeons is largely seen as secondary. The present report describes a case of refractory facial nerve palsy that arose after malignant parotid-tu…

[UNLABELLED] Although injections with copolyamide fillers (Aquafilling/Los Deline and Aqualift/Activegel) are currently used widely for breast augmentation, many complications have been reported. A recent position statement by a Korean aest…

[OBJECTIVE] Various skin incision methods have been reported for reduction mammoplasty and mastopexy. This report describes a new incision method that may improve on conventional methods, particularly with respect to prevention of hypertrop…

Keloids are caused by excessive scar formation that leads to scar growth beyond the initial scar boundaries. Keloid formation and progression is promoted by mechanical stress such as skin stretch force. Consequently, keloids rarely occur in…

[OBJECTIVE] In general, needling and injection are painful procedures, especially when the face is the target. Although local anesthetics (cream or tape) can be used to reduce the pain, they are not sufficiently effective. It has been sugge…

Liposuction aspirates separate into fatty and fluid portions. Cells isolated from the fatty portion are termed processed lipoaspirate (PLA) cells and isolated from the fluid portion termed liposuction aspirate fluid (LAF) cells, both of whi…

[BACKGROUND] Previous reports on the treatment of hypertrophic scars and keloids have not described clear algorithms for multimodal therapies. This article presents an evidence-based review of previous articles and proposes algorithms for t…

[BACKGROUND] The ingredients of substances implanted for breast augmentation sometimes remain unknown due to lack of information from patients. Significant clinical problems sometimes necessitate removal and reconstruction. Thus, preoperati…

Between 1988 and 2000, 378 cases of keloids were treated in the authors' department, and 147 keloids in 129 patients were selected for this study. Keloids that occurred at a different site in the same patient and keloids that recurred later…
