Eye feminization embraces surgical and non-surgical aesthetic procedures used in order to feminize upper third of the face. Eye feminization is indicated for transwomen during facial gender affirming surgery, and also for aging women. Durin…

[BACKGROUND] Malar/zygoma reduction is an effective procedure to change a broader, flatter facial appearance to an oval facial shape. Of the intraoral and coronal approaches, the intraoral is the more commonly used technique than the corona…

[BACKGROUND] Thread lifting is a minimally invasive aesthetic procedure that lifts and realigns sagging tissue. Definisse double-needle threads are the latest fourth generation absorbable, monofilament, suspension barbed threads of syntheti…

Facial feminization surgery (FFS) is often the first procedure requested by patients wishing to undergo gender-affirming surgery. This study aims to evaluate the applicability and effectiveness of deep plane facelifts in FFS. The authors co…

[BACKGROUND] Malar mounds (congenital) and festoons (acquired) are persistent puffiness in the prezygomatic space between the orbicularis retaining ligament (ORL) and zygomatico-cutaneous ligament (ZCL). Non-surgical treatments often yield …

[BACKGROUND] Facial aging is a multifactorial process that affects each component of facial anatomy. The two general groups of face lift techniques are superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) elevation and SMAS manipulation. The purpos…

This paper introduces my personal perspective on anatomic structures for reduction malarplasty, mandibular contouring surgery, and masseter muscle resection. The zygomaticofacial nerve innervates a rectangular area, and each side measures 1…

Changing the facial appearance with facial contouring surgery is popular, especially in East Asian countries where a square face is a common chief complaint. Mandibular angle reduction, malar reduction, genioplasty, and chin and body contou…

[BACKGROUND] Cosmetic approaches to midface aging are complex and vary in their treatment methodology. The nature of cosmetic surgery limits clinical trial data, forcing surgeons to rely on small studies and professional preferences when ch…

[BACKGROUND] Malarplasty is widely performed for zygoma reduction. The effects of body segmentation, plate bending, and postoperative arch location on zygomatic movement have not been analyzed using computed tomography (CT). [RESULTS] We q…

The safety and effectiveness of facial cosmetic surgery procedures are dependent on detailed 3D understanding of the complex surgical anatomy of the face. Traditional, small sample size anatomical dissection studies have limitations in prov…

[BACKGROUND] Facial fat compartments and their role in facial aging have gained increased recognition and are playing a significant role in facial rejuvenation. The superficial fat compartments glide inferiorly during the aging process, lea…

Infraorbital hollows are one of the most common target areas for facial aesthetic treatment; however, they are often perceived to be challenging to treat due to the complex anatomy of the periorbital area, concurrent deformities, and risk o…

[BACKGROUND/AIM] Human Demodex mites are parasites that live in the pilosebaceous unit and can cause demodicosis. While demodicosis may occur as a primary skin disease, it may also result from immunosuppression and topical or systemic immun…

[INTRODUCTION] Radiation-induced ulceration is a late-stage skin reaction after RT for cancer treatment. [OBJECTIVE] The present study examined the use of a single-stage reconstructive procedure to manage radiation-related wounds. [MATERI…

[BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES] With increasing aesthetic awareness, in addition to the forehead, nose, and cheekbone prominence, the chin nowadays is seen as one of the most important parts of the facial skeleton. Position of the chin has a st…

The attenuation of retaining ligaments with aging leads to downward displacement of facial fat compartments and is responsible for many of the stigmata that occur with aging. The zygomatic cutaneous and masseteric cutaneous ligaments preven…

Facelift techniques can be classified according to the depth and extent of the dissection applied. Imbrication and plication of the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) referred to as "SMAS lifts" or "classical facelifts" are the mo…

The subperiosteal midface lift is a powerful tool that allows the surgeon to reposition the SOOF and malar fat pad in a vertical direction. Additionally, it significantly softens deep nasolabial folds. Its effect, however, is minimal with r…

[BACKGROUND] The use of zygomatic implants has been mostly replaced by fat grafting in rhytidectomy procedures. Furthermore, surgeons using implants prefer the intraoral approach. The authors aimed to describe and emphasize the usefulness o…
