[BACKGROUND] Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) is commonly used in neuromuscular disorders and cosmetic fields, but the detailed histological and subcellular changes in masticatory muscles, mainly in masseter, remain underexplored. [METHODS]…

[BACKGROUND] Botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT-A) is widely used to treat masseter hypertrophy, but its long-term structural effects remain unclear. While animal studies suggest reversible and irreversible remodeling, human data on microstr…

[BACKGROUND] Tear trough deformity (TTD) is a periorbital hollow extending from the medial canthus to the midpupillary line, which is mainly caused by the traction of the tear trough ligament (TTL). This study aimed to present a retroseptal…

Vascular anastomosis is the cornerstone in microsurgery. To assist complicated microvascular anastomosis with diameters …

Achieving accurate locating of perforating arteries (PAs) has great clinical value in various biomedical applications, such as free flap transfer. However, the anatomical variability of these arteries presents a major challenge in PA locati…

[BACKGROUND] The nose, eyebrow, and forehead are critical elements of the T-zone, vital for enhancing facial three-dimensionality. Many Asians seek a more contoured and sculpted facial appearance by T-zone augmentation. The novel poly-L-lac…

[BACKGROUND] Current upper eyelid blepharoplasty techniques vary widely, and many revision patients lack information of the initial procedure, making reparability assessment and surgical planning challenging. In such complex procedures, per…

[BACKGROUND] Incidence of iatrogenic upper eyelid retraction (UER) caused by blepharoptosis overcorrection and improper blepharoplasty is increasing fast among Eastern Asians. The aim of this study is to present our experience using techniq…

[BACKGROUND] This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of high-frequency ultrasound in the preoperative diagnosis of lacrimal gland prolapse to aid surgical planning, minimize complications, and enhance patient satisfaction. [METHODS] Five…

[OBJECTIVES] Considerable research has been focused on independent predictors of difficult laryngeal exposure (DLE) during suspension laryngoscopy. However, previous studies have yielded inconsistent results and conclusions. Consequently, w…

Lipomas, benign adipose tissue tumors, are a common occurrence but currently, the options for their treatment are limited, with surgical excision being the most frequently used management pathway. This scenario can often lead to unsatisfact…

[BACKGROUND] Periorbital aging is characterized by dermatochalasis, lateral hooding and malformation of multiple eyelid creases. Rejuvenation of periorbital region is of great concern in aging Asians, especially for the females. However, th…

[SUMMARY] Adequate nasal tip projection remains a challenge in aesthetic rhinoplasty for East Asians. Various surgical techniques have been developed to reshape the nasal tip using auricular cartilage. In this article, we introduce the new …

Severe soft tissue defects and amputated digits are clinically common injuries. Primary treatments include surgical free flap transfer and digit replantation, but these can fail because of vascular compromise. Postoperative monitoring is th…

The aim of this study was to compare single- and double-layer digital template-assisted genioplasty for the correction of jaw deformity resulting from temporomandibular joint ankylosis (TMJA). Thirteen patients with jaw deformity resulting …

[BACKGROUND] Many people are characterized by a swollen appearance and loose skin of upper eyelids, especially Asians. Retro-orbicularis oculus fat (ROOF) lying in the lateral canthus area is a critical factor of the bulkiness formation. Al…

[BACKGROUND] Double-eyelid surgery is one of the most common cosmetic surgeries performed in Asians. The palpebral marginal incision technique (PMIT) conceals the incision scar and creates natural-looking double-eyelids. However, the amount…

[BACKGROUND] Conjoint fascial sheath suspension can achieve pleasing surgical efficacy and dynamic eyelid movement in the treatment of severe ptosis. In recent years, the palpebral margin incision technique has been applied for double-eyeli…

Chordoid glioma is a rare low-grade tumor that originates almost exclusively in the anterior part of the third ventricle. The diagnosis and treatment of the tumor remain controversial. In this article, the authors present a novel case of ch…

Botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT/A) is traditional medicine and well known for its therapeutic use as an anesthetic and in cosmetic applications that work through the inhibition of acetylcholine exocytosis in neuronal cells. BoNT/A also ha…

[BACKGROUND] The improvement of nasolabial folds by either lateral superficial musculoaponeurotic system rhytidectomy or minimal access cranial suspension lift alone is commonly performed, but patient satisfaction is often limited in East A…

[BACKGROUND] Large involuted infantile hemangioma (IH) can cause facial disfigurement and functional impairment and constitute a major concern to children and parents. Liposuction for large involuted IH has been reported in some case report…

Autologous costal cartilage graft is optimal for augmentation rhinoplasty but with complications including markedly visible graft margins and dorsal contour irregularities. Therefore, the authors introduced the diced costal cartilage graft …

[BACKGROUND] Early intervention might improve the quality of surgical scars. Botulinum toxin type A has been shown to improve surgical scars in the past decade. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of botulinum toxin type A …

[IMPORTANCE] Though it has been a common practice to use sharp needles to administer local anesthesia for upper blepharoplasty, the evidence for their benefit is lacking. [OBJECTIVE] To evaluate whether there is any benefit of using blunt-…

[BACKGROUND] Presently, many techniques have been described to make the epicanthal fold less prominent. However, visible scarring remains a major concern in most techniques. The aim of this study was to develop a novel design using conceale…

[UNLABELLED] OBJECTIVE To investigate an operative method of combined resection of preseptal fat: and partial retro-orbicularis oculus fat (ROOF) for correction of upper eyelid heaviness, and evaluate the efficacy and safety of the method. …
