Delayed inflammatory reactions (DIRs) following hyaluronic acid filler injections are uncommon but pose significant clinical challenges. We report a 23‑year‑old Asian woman who developed a selective DIR confined to her chin after receiving …

[BACKGROUND] Preclinical studies have suggested that Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (RAC1) accelerates diabetic kidney disease (DKD) progression by triggering renal inflammation/fibrosis. Nevertheless, the clinical relevance of …

[BACKGROUND] The use of artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots has demonstrated considerable promise in assisting medical consultations. However, their potential for application in online hair transplantation consultations remains largely un…

Lymphedema is a chronic condition that can follow cancer treatment, and liposuction has been shown to be an effective approach for reducing limb volume in advanced cases. However, recurrence rates vary widely, with prior erysipelas identifi…

[BACKGROUND] Cell-assisted lipotransfer (CAL) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP)-assisted lipotransfer have been used to overcome the low survival rate of conventional lipotransfer. However, there is still insufficient evidence to determine whi…

[BACKGROUND] Fat grafting after breast prostheses removal has been performed widely for the breast augmentation. However, the postoperative complications and clinical safety of these two procedures are still widely concerned. Here, the auth…

[BACKGROUND] Revision surgery after breast augmentation is performed for various reasons. Understanding the causes and patients' attitudes toward implant management (removal or replacement) is critical for improving outcomes. [METHODS] A r…

[BACKGROUNDS] The widespread adoption of double eyelid tapes (DET) to achieve the desired double eyelid aesthetic has prompted investigations into their long-term effects. Given the delicate and complex anatomy of the eyelid, concerns have …
