Free flap reconstruction for lower extremity (LE) trauma has a higher failure rate than free flaps in other anatomic regions. Postoperative anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy may influence LE free flap outcomes, but an optimal regimen…

[BACKGROUND] Acute burns and their sequelae in the axilla are debilitating injuries. Reconstruction in this anatomically complex region is challenging due to limited tissue availability and the need to balance functional and aesthetic outco…

[BACKGROUND] Dangling protocols are widely used in the postoperative management of lower extremity free flaps to promote microvascular adaptation. To optimize outcomes, surgeons use dangling protocols, gradually increasing limb dependency, …

[INTRODUCTION] Aging leads to facial volume loss, particularly in the forehead, resulting in a flat appearance and static wrinkles. Effective forehead rejuvenation aims to restore volume while minimizing risks associated with filler injecti…

Bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) is a corrective jaw surgery that repositions the mandible. Potential complications include unexpected fractures, unfavorable splits, avascular necrosis, condylar resorption, and malposition of the p…

[BACKGROUND] Postoperative hematoma remains one of the most significant complications in rhytidectomy, with reported rates up to 15%. This study presents a structured, experience-based protocol for hematoma prevention, developed over 40 yea…

BackgroundThe optimal dissection technique for flap elevation in abdominoplasty remains debated, particularly in high-risk patients after massive weight loss. The LigaSure Impact™ (LS) vessel-sealing system (Medtronic, Dublin, Ireland) is a…

[BACKGROUND] Abdominoplasty is a widely performed cosmetic procedure aimed at improving abdominal contour and function. Seroma formation, with an incidence of approximately 10.9%, remains a common and challenging complication. Traditional p…

[BACKGROUND] Many surgeons have adopted chemoprophylaxis in an effort to reduce VTE risk. However, the efficacy of routine anticoagulation has been challenged. Whether chemoprophylaxis raises the risk of bleeding has been the subject of deb…

A young woman developed a large hematoma after submental liposuction, causing swallowing and breathing issues. The patient reported shortness of breath (SOB), along with neck pain, swelling, bruising, and reduced range of motion (ROM). Lab …

[BACKGROUND] Traditional surgical treatment for gynecomastia has multiple complications. Recently, energy-based therapies have gained popularity over conventional surgical treatments, including liposuction using radiofrequency energy, power…

[BACKGROUND] Ketorolac, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, is a promising opioid-sparing option for postoperative pain control. However, its impact on platelet function raises concerns about bleeding risk. Reduction mammaplasty carries …

[BACKGROUND] Oral contraceptive pills (OCPs) are commonly utilized by women aged 15-40 years. Despite being associated with an increased risk of thromboembolism, their potential impact on surgical outcomes, particularly in reduction mammopl…

[OBJECTIVE] To evaluate the efficacy of autologous fascial adipose tissue transplantation for correcting glabellar frown lines during facial rejuvenation surgery. [METHODS] A retrospective study (2007-2023) analyzed patients with glabellar…

[BACKGROUND] The primary aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Incisional Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (iNPWT) on surgical site complication rates for abdominal body contouring following bariatric surgery that resulted in m…

[BACKGROUND] Drainage is used to prevent complications such as hematoma and seroma formation during liposuction. This study aims to place the drain into the desired area in patients undergoing liposuction with the liposuction canulae. This …

[BACKGROUND] The demand for gluteal augmentation has risen significantly over the past decade. While both implants and autologous fat grafting are commonly used, each technique carries limitations. This study evaluates our outcomes followin…

[BACKGROUND] Breast cancer has the highest incidence among female malignancies, and surgical intervention remains a cornerstone of its management. However, destructive procedures such as traditional mastectomy or breast-conserving surgery c…

[BACKGROUND] Whether texturing confers clinical advantages over smooth breast implants remains questionable, especially in the wake of breast implant-associated anaplastic large-cell lymphoma concerns with textured implants. [OBJECTIVES] T…
