[BACKGROUND] The popularity of minimally invasive aesthetic procedures has increased globally, with a 40.9% increase in non-surgical procedures between 2019 and 2023. Dermal fillers have gained popularity for delivering visible results with…

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] Buffalo hump is fibrolipodystrophy in the posterior part of neck. Although established surgical treatments, such as lipectomy and liposuction, are available, they each have notable limitations. Lipectomy often leads to signific…

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] Large‑volume liposuction is widely performed for abdominal contouring, yet objective, site‑specific quantification of subcutaneous fat reduction remains limited. Ultrasonography (USG) offers a practical, radiation‑free method f…

[BACKGROUND] Periorbital complications from hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are common due to the region's unique anatomy. Hyaluronidase is widely used for management, but dosing remains empirical with no standardized protocol. This study aime…

[BACKGROUND] Obesity and its associated sequelae have become a major global health concern. While ester-linked lipids are well-established regulators of adipocyte function and energy storage. Emerging evidence from cohort studies suggests t…

[BACKGROUND] Lateral orbital hollowing is a subtle yet influential contributor of periorbital ageing. It results from attenuation of subcutaneous fat, atrophy of the lateral orbital fat pad, and descent of the orbicularis oculi muscle, crea…

[INTRODUCTION] Parastomal hernias are a common and complex problem for patients and their surgeons. Despite multiple established repair strategies, recurrence rates remain high. We present a novel open retromuscular repair technique using a…

BackgroundLipedema is a chronic disorder involving abnormal accumulation of subcutaneous fat, primarily in the lower limbs. Liposuction is an effective treatment, but postoperative complications such as fluid retention and seroma formation …

[BACKGROUND] A circumareolar approach to treat gynecomastia has received renewed attention. However, this method has been associated with areolar deformities. A "blocking" suture is recommended to limit areolar dilation. A semicircular inci…

The thoracodorsal artery perforator (TDAP) flap is a versatile pedicled and free flap with low donor site morbidity and a relatively thin skin paddle. Physical patient characteristics may influence interindividual differences in perforator …

Deep Inferior Epigastric Artery perforator flaps (DIEP flaps) have become the gold standard in autologous breast reconstruction; yet they remain complex procedures due to highly individual perforator anatomy. Increasingly, computed tomograp…

[CASE] A 23-year-old male with no medical history presented with a painless, slowly enlarging heel mass present for 5 years. Physical examination revealed a firm lesion with mild varicosities. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a 4.3 ×…

A 57-year-old woman presented for evaluation of spastic left eyelid closure that began 1 to 2 weeks after receiving injections of poly- l -lactic acid dermal filler to the bilateral temples and cheeks at a local Medspa. External examination…

[BACKGROUND] The rising popularity of injectable soft-tissue fillers in esthetic medicine is driven by their potential to provide facial rejuvenation through minimally invasive techniques. Hyaluronic acid (HA)-based fillers exhibit distinct…

[BACKGROUND/AIM] Poly-Lactic acid (PLA) fillers are widely used for facial and body volume restoration because of their collagen-stimulating properties. However, early inflammation, oxidative stress, and variable long-term remodeling remain…

Submental fullness, commonly referred to as a double chin, is a frequent aesthetic concern influenced by subcutaneous fat accumulation and underlying skeletal structure. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and hyaluronic acid (HA) fill…

[BACKGROUND] Nasolabial folds (NLFs) are a hallmark of facial ageing, and precise correction requires detailed anatomical and vascular mapping. High-resolution ultrasound offers real-time visualisation of soft-tissue layers, filler distribu…

[BACKGROUND] Neuropathic pain occurs as a direct consequence of a lesion or a disease affecting the somatosensory system. Because of the limited therapeutic arsenal, it is difficult to treat. Nevertheless, pain relief has been demonstrated …
