Apoptosis plays a key role in keloids. Growth arrest and DNA damage-inducible gene 153 (GADD153) is regulated by apoptosis. Botulinum toxin type A (BTXA) can induce apoptosis in keloid fibroblasts. This research aimed to explore the hypothe…

Most therapeutic approaches for keloids remain clinically unsatisfactory. In the last years, intralesional botulinum toxin-A (IL BTX-A) was proposed for treatment of keloids. Our aim of the study was to compare the clinical efficacy of IL B…

Keloids present a challenging clinical problem due to their propensity for recurrence and need for adjuvant therapy. We present a case where a large keloid resection required free tissue transfer and immediate radiation therapy was employed…

New developments in artificial intelligence (AI) offer opportunities to enhance plastic surgery practice, research, and education. In this article, we review relevant AI tools and applications, including machine learning, reinforcement lear…

This article aims to explain the use of a variety of noninvasive of minimally invasive examinations to obtain reliable diagnostic clues. The choice of treatment methods and repair techniques for wound defects are also critical in terms of t…

Capsular contracture is one of the most common complications after breast reconstruction. Surgical treatment is the main option for capsular contracture correction and includes capsulotomy, capsulectomy, and removal/replacement of the affec…

There is no uniform treatment for pathological scars, including keloids and hypertrophic scars, in clinic currently. Previously, multiple randomized controlled trials have examined the clinical efficacy of different treatments. Nonetheless,…

[INTRODUCTION] Keloid scars are therapeutically challenging and although many treatment options exist, there are no specific guidelines, and few reports have discussed keloids in the umbilical region. [METHODS] Here, we present a successfu…

[BACKGROUND] In order to correct upper lid laxity, upper blepharoplasty, subbrow excision, and forehead lift have been utilized. Our newly developed subbrow excision attaches the orbicularis oculi muscle to the frontalis muscle. This improv…

Since we first described the rationale for the use of hydrocolloid dressings to treat keloids and hypertrophic scars, this technique has been used as an occlusive therapy alternative to the use of silicone sheets in our outpatient clinic. I…

Keloids and hypertrophic scars could impair the psychological, physical, and cosmetic aspects of the patient's quality of life. Unfortunately, there is no curative treatment available till now. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and …

Commonly affecting those with skin of color, keloids are an aberrant wound response that leads to wound tissue expanding above and beyond the original cutaneous injury. Keloids are notoriously and particularly difficult to treat because of …

Despite the myriad options available, there is no universally the accepted treatment for keloids. Our objective was to compare three regiments and establish superiority in terms of objective and subjective outcomes. In this intervention stu…

Complete necrosis of the nipple, areola, or both is a uncommon complication of reduction mammaplasty, especially if it happens bilaterally. This case involving a young, black female illustrates that, in a large open wound of the breast, it …

Hundred and eleven patients of breast augmentation in trans women operated between January 2004 and September 2019 are presented. Two surgeons conducted the study with a slightly different antibiotic regime. Only round implants were used. T…

[INTRODUCTION] Administration of botulinum toxin is an increasingly popular procedure in the medical and aesthetic field. There is emerging evidence that it can influence fibroblast activity and minimise tension around the scar by virtue of…

[UNLABELLED] Keloids are pathological scars that grow over time and extend beyond the initial site of injury after impaired wound healing. These scars frequently recur and rarely regress. They are aesthetically disfiguring, can cause pain, …

Hair transplantation is considered safe compared to other cosmetic procedures. However, scarring is still an inevitable potential complication. Keloid scarring is a rare complication of hair transplantation and usually associated with strip…

[BACKGROUND] In the repair of prominent ear deformities, the main objectives are to recreate the antihelical fold, reduce projection in patients with a large concha, and normalize the distance between the ear and the cranium. This study eva…

Keloids are very resistant to treatment in dermatology and plastic surgical practice. The present study aimed to explore the underlying mechanism of botulinum toxin A (BTXA) treated human skin keloid fibroblasts (HSFBs) proving some new ins…
