Comparison of Limited-Undermining Lipoabdominoplasty and Traditional Abdominoplasty Using Laser Fluorescence Imaging.
[BACKGROUND] Body contouring that involves abdominoplasty and/or liposuction is a common cosmetic surgery procedure. Although single-staged lipoabdominoplasty has gained popularity, safety concerns remain. [OBJECTIVES] The authors compared…

Improving fat transfer viability: the role of aging, body mass index, and harvest site.
[BACKGROUND] Fat grafting remains unpredictable in the clinical setting, and variables that influence adipocyte survival, such as age, body mass index, and specific donor sites, are still not well understood. [METHODS] Twenty-four female s…

Three-Dimensional Imaging for Breast Augmentation: Is This Technology Providing Accurate Simulations?
[BACKGROUND] For patients considering breast augmentation, 3-dimensional (3D) imaging provides a preoperative simulation of the postoperative result. However, the clinical accuracy of these simulations has not been assessed. [OBJECTIVE] Th…

Role of upper lateral cartilage tension spanning suture in restoring the dorsal aesthetic lines in rhinoplasty.
Dorsal hump reduction can lead to significant aesthetic and functional deformities with distortion of the dorsal aesthetic lines without first preserving and subsequently restoring proper position of the upper lateral cartilages. The senior…

Reconstitution of the nasal dorsum following component dorsal reduction in primary rhinoplasty.
[BACKGROUND] Dorsal hump reduction can lead to significant aesthetic and functional deformities if one does not preserve and subsequently restore proper position of the upper lateral cartilages. The senior author (R.J.R.) previously describ…

Classifying deformities of the columella base in rhinoplasty.
[BACKGROUND] Although much has been published with regard to the columella assessed on the frontal and lateral views, a paucity of literature exists regarding the basal view of the columella. The objective of this study was to evaluate the …

Individualized Asian rhinoplasty: a systematic approach to facial balance.
[BACKGROUND] Asian rhinoplasty, and rhinoplasty performed in other ethnic groups, remains a challenging operation for plastic surgeons. Precise clinical analysis and systematic planning preoperatively are widely accepted as the keys to succ…
-
Soft-tissue composition of the columella and potential relevance in rhinoplasty.
[BACKGROUND] The columella serves as the medial limb of the nasal tripod, with the medial crura functioning as the cartilaginous framework. Although soft-tissue of the columella may have both functional and aesthetic implications, it is a t…
-
Inferior turbinoplasty during cosmetic rhinoplasty: techniques and trends.
[BACKGROUND] The sheer number of accepted inferior turbinoplasty techniques emphasizes the fact that there is no general agreement on which approach yields optimal results, nor are there data available that describes prevalent techniques in…
- A plastic surgery resident's view of aesthetic training and the future.

Long-term effects of breast aging in patients undergoing explantation: analysis of breast aesthetics from before augmentation to after explantation.
[PURPOSE] Although most patients with implants have an uneventful course, some will require explantation. Moreover, women's breasts and their perception of their body habitus change with time. This study covering greater than a 32-year peri…

Factors influencing patient interest in plastic surgery and the process of selecting a surgeon.
[BACKGROUND] Understanding patient interest in cosmetic surgery is an important tool in delineating the current market for aesthetic surgeons. Similarly, defining those factors that most influence surgeon selection is vital for optimizing m…

Chairs and chiefs of plastic surgery: is it an insider job?
[PURPOSE] There is no more important decision an academic Plastic Surgery Department or Division can make than naming a chair or chief. Externally recruited leadership brings fresh perspectives and connections. Critics, however, argue that …
-
Evaluation of plastic surgery training programs: integrated/combined versus independent.
[BACKGROUND] The authors aimed to differentiate between combined/integrated and independent (traditional) methods of plastic surgery training with regard to quality of trainees, caliber of graduates, and practice or career outcomes once gra…
-
Immediate placement of implants in breast reconstruction: patient selection and outcomes.
[BACKGROUND] With the advent of skin-sparing mastectomy techniques, it became clear that immediate placement of an implant could be utilized for breast reconstruction in select patients. The authors assessed the safety, patient selection fa…
-
Comparison of implant-based immediate breast reconstruction with and without acellular dermal matrix.
[BACKGROUND] Acellular dermal matrix is frequently used in implant-based breast reconstruction to cover the inferior aspect of the breast pocket. Its performance profile remains equivocal. The authors studied whether adding it in implant-ba…

A rare case of staphylococcal toxic shock syndrome after abdominoplasty.
Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is a serious, potentially life-threatening condition resulting from an overwhelming immunological response to an exotoxin released by Staphylococcus aureus. TSS has rarely been described as a complication after el…
