[OBJECTIVES] Investigating the efficacy and safety of intratympanic Botulinum toxin (IT-BTX) injection as a novel treatment for middle ear myoclonic tinnitus (MEMT). [METHODS] Medical records and tinnitus questionnaires of the patients wit…

Reducing donor-site morbidity is crucial in free-flap reconstruction, with the primary goals of achieving dermis-to-dermis closure and avoiding skin grafts. Although latissimus dorsi (LD) myocutaneous and thoracodorsal artery perforator (TD…

[BACKGROUND] Filler-induced vascular occlusion remains a rare but serious complication in aesthetic medicine, particularly in the lips, where collateral circulation is limited. Polynucleotide (DOT-PN) is a polynucleotide-based medical devic…

[BACKGROUND] Thread lifting is a minimally invasive technique for addressing facial aging and skin laxity. Despite its popularity, it carries risks of complications ranging from minor bruising to severe structural injuries. Comprehensive un…

Large soft tissue defects of the face often require free flap-based reconstruction. To avoid a conspicuous patch-like appearance, choosing flaps with a color similar to that of the adjacent facial skin is crucial. This study aimed to identi…

[BACKGROUND] Extensive experimental evidence has suggested the potential efficacy of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) in enhancing flap survival, leading to its widespread empirical use following free flap operation. However, the translation of thes…

Wide local excision remains the main treatment modality for primary lip cancer, which often results in considerable deficits of lip tissue and requires reconstruction using free tissue transfer. Although diverse free flaps, such as radial f…

[INTRODUCTION] Tailoring surgical interventions to target age-related transformations is paramount. Many candidates seeking blepharoplasty commonly exhibit eyebrow ptosis, underscoring the necessity for surgeons to possess a comprehensive u…

[BACKGROUND] This review addresses the intricacies of non-surgical rhinoplasty, particularly focusing on the utilization of absorbable sutures known as "Volumizing threads" in combination with fillers. The aim is to explore the enhanced pre…

[BACKGROUND] Nose augmentation using nonsurgical methods, including volumizing and cogged threads, has gained popularity due to its minimally invasive nature, shorter recovery times, and reduced risks compared to traditional rhinoplasty. Ho…

[OBJECTIVE] Middle ear myoclonic tinnitus (MEMT) is a disease caused by myoclonus or abnormal contractive movement of middle ear muscles (MEMs). This translational study was conducted to propose intratympanic botulinum toxin (IT-BTX) inject…

Polymeric microspheres containing magnesium hydroxide (MH) and a bioactive agent (BA), such as apocynin (APO) and astaxanthin (ATX), have been prepared as functional dermal fillers with enhanced physicochemical and biological performance. I…

[BACKGROUND] The purpose of this study was to measure the time of the conventional surgical planning (CSP) and virtual surgical planning (VSP) in orthognathic surgery and to compare them in terms of cost. [MATERIAL AND METHOD] This is a re…

[PURPOSE] The purpose of this study was to evaluate the results of the reconstruction using the second free flap following resection of recurrent oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC). [PATIENTS AND METHODS] A total of 25 patients from 2005 t…

Palatal myoclonic tinnitus (PMT) is a rare otological condition caused by rhythmic contractions of soft palate muscles. Due to its rarity, only a few case series studies have been reported in the literature at the present time. This large c…

The urethral catheter is used in various clinical situations such as diagnosing urologic disease, urine drainage in patients after surgery, and for patients who cannot urinate voluntarily. However, catheters can cause numerous adverse effec…

[BACKGROUND] The purpose of this study was to measure the time of the conventional surgical planning (CSP) and virtual surgical planning (VSP) in orthognathic surgery and to compare them in terms of cost. [MATERIAL AND METHOD] This is a re…

This study analyzed the homepages of 250 cosmetic surgeons' websites by focusing on the representation of cosmetic surgery providers, cosmetic surgery recipients, and cosmetic surgery practice itself. Based on a literature review, some comm…

[BACKGROUND] The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) injection in the masseter muscle using electromyography (EMG) in an animal model. [METHODS] Ten male adult (>3 months of age) New Zealand …

[BACKGROUND] Within the last few years, hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers and radiofrequency (RF) devices have shown significant promise for skin rejuvenation. But the effects of HA only lasted for a relatively short duration. Therefore, we trie…

[BACKGROUND] Recent advances in hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers and radiofrequency (RF) devices have been made in the context of skin rejuvenation and cosmetic surgery. Moreover, combination regimens with both techniques are currently being de…
