비후성흉터 Hypertrophic Scar

Prominent ear is a common auricular malformation that can have long-term psychosocial consequences on affected individuals. Otoplasty remains the standard surgical corrective treatment; however, the optimal technique has long been debated, …

[BACKGROUND] Keloids and hypertrophic scars are characterized by pathologically excessive dermal fibrosis and aberrant wound healing. These pathological scars are characterized by continuous and histologically localized inflammation of the …

Treatment of keloids and hypertrophic scars poses a significant challenge. Several treatments are beneficial, including surgery, technologies such as lasers, medication injections (eg, triamcinolone and antineoplastic drugs), cryotherapy, a…

Botulinum toxin A (BTXA) is a safe and widely used neurotoxic protein in cosmetic procedures and medical applications. This investigation focuses on the function of BTXA on macrophage phenotype during hypertrophic scar (HS) formation and th…

To explore the influence and mechanism of extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from human dermal papilla cells (hDPCs), i. e. hDPC-EVs on skin fibrosis in mice. This study was an experimental research. One hundred discarded hair follicle u…

Fibroproliferative disorders (FPDs), such as Dupuytren's contracture, scleroderma, capsular contracture, rhinophyma, and keloid scars, are characterised by excessive fibroblast activity and collagen deposition. These conditions are frequent…

Microgenia, retrogenia, cervico-mental angle obtusity, and lower lip ectropion are complications of severe burn scar contracture and are associated with functional and psychosocial disturbances. These complications can be managed in several…

[BACKGROUND] Feminizing top surgery, or mammaplasty augmentation, has multiple variables that surgeons can adjust to work synergistically with patient anatomy including plane of implant placement, pocket size, and inframammary fold (IMF) lo…

[BACKGROUND] The amount of tissue resection, measured in weight per breast, in breast reduction surgery has been considered a potential risk factor for complications. [OBJECTIVE] We aimed to evaluate the effect of removing >1000 g versus 1…

[BACKGROUND] The increasing prevalence of bariatric surgeries in China has led to a growing number of patients experiencing massive weight loss and abdominal skin laxity. However, there is a scarcity of reports addressing post-bariatric lip…

Hypertrophic scar (HS) is a fibrous proliferative disorder that occurs in the dermis after skin injury. Studies have confirmed that Botulinum toxin type A (BTA) is effective in scar prevention and treatment. However, the specific mechanism …

[OBJECTIVE] Maxillofacial-neck hyperplastic scars have long been a persistent concern among individuals in both Western and Eastern countries. These scars exhibit rapid growth within 3-6 months following wound healing, subsequently receding…

[BACKGROUND] Eyelid ptosis may present with upper lid dermatochalasis and brow ptosis. When indicated, ptosis correction (PC) is advocated during upper blepharoplasty (UB). In this study, the authors aimed to report their outcomes following…

Hypertrophic scars arise from aberrant wound healing and can lead to functional and aesthetic impairments. One of the common interventions for treating hypertrophic scars is fractional carbon dioxide (CO2) laser, which employs narrow laser …

[OBJECTIVE] Cleft lip repair (CLR) can be complicated by hypertrophic scar or keloid. Botulinum toxin type A (BTA) may improve postoperative scarring by reducing muscle tension and cytokine activity at the scar site. This systematic review …

[OBJECTIVE] To validate the feasibility of ultrasound in assessing the curative effect of botulinum toxin type A (BTXA) in treating hypertrophic scar (HS). [METHODS] Eight healthy New Zealand long-eared rabbits were utilized in the study. …

Wound healing is nature's response to injury. It is a complex and dynamic process involving multiple biological systems aimed at restoring the integrity of damaged tissue. The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a critical anatomical structure…

[BACKGROUND] Driven by demand for nonexcisional alternatives to address lax skin following liposuction, various energy-based technologies have become available. Helium plasma radiofrequency (RF) and bipolar RF have gained prominence. These …

[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…

[BACKGROUND] Protruding ears are the most common auricular abnormalities seen in children (1). Protruding ears are a condition that has social and psychological consequences due to its physical appearance and one of the main causes of peer …
