Dorsal management is a challenging step in rhinosurgery. In the last decade, an old philosophy of preserving the dorsum has gained popularity alongside the traditional hump resection proposed by Joseph. This study aims to investigate the journey of a rhinosurgeon transitioning from structural to dorsal preservation techniques in primary rhinoplasty.

The aesthetic medicine industry has seen significant growth due to technological advancements and increasing demand for minimally invasive procedures. This sector's influence on educational institutions is profound, often shaping curricula to align with industry standards. However, this focus can sometimes narrow educational scope, potentially compromising the broader intellectual and ethical development of medical professionals.

Liposuction has become the most sought-after aesthetic surgery across the globe, increasing the demand for more developments in patient safety protocols. Evidence of the efficacy of tranexamic acid (TXA) in reducing intraoperative blood loss with minimal complications have led to its widespread applications across various surgical operations. However, the role and effectiveness of TXA in liposuction is not fully understood. Therefore, the purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to investigate the effectiveness of TXA in minimizing intraoperative blood loss in patients undergoing liposuction.

Despite previous studies on auricle morphology, research on its biomechanical properties remains limited. This study aims to assess age- and gender-related variations in auricle strength in living humans.

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) includes abdominal obesity, hypertension, insulin resistance, and dyslipidemia. Research has indicated that reducing excess visceral fat has positive effects on inflammation and insulin resistance. We examined whether visceral lipectomy modifies the effects of MetS parameters and adipocytokine levels.

The postoperative pain experienced at the donor site following ear reconstruction using autologous costal cartilage significantly impacts patients' quality of life. Sodium carboxymethylcellulose demonstrates a favorable sustained release property, and its potential to prolong the analgesic effect of ropivacaine remains unexplored. The present study aimed to investigate the analgesic efficacy of ropivacaine gel formulated with sodium carboxymethylcellulose as a sustained-release agent on the donor site of costal cartilage.

Tranexamic acid (TXA) is increasingly employed in plastic surgery to reduce perioperative hemorrhage. This systematic review assesses TXA's impact on blood loss, bruising, and fat graft survival following liposuction.

Injectable cosmetic procedures are increasingly popular among beauty seekers as rapid technology and material advancements making it easier to achieve desired results through minimal trauma. The technique of subperiosteal injection, which is not yet introduced to the field of medical esthetics, may achieve more satisfying results. This study confirms the possibility of subperiosteal injection of dermal filler, using the clavicle area as the validation region, and has been validated by ultrasound examinations. This novel injection technique combining sharp and cannula successfully achieves subperiosteal filling injections, aiming to shape clear contours by utilizing subperiosteal filling and addressing the displacement issues of conventionally injected dermal filler, thereby achieving long-term reliable results.

The purpose of this study is to present an innovative and efficient alternative to conventional silicone drains for seroma prevention, aiming to enhance patient outcomes and satisfaction post-liposuction.

Direct-to-implant breast reconstruction is a popular procedure since breast volume can be acquired immediately. Various evaluations have been utilized to achieve symmetry. We measured the weight and volume of mastectomy specimens and calculated the relationship between breast density and ptosis degree.

Inconsistent and suboptimal outcomes in secondary cleft lip deformity repairs stem from the absence of a standardized classification system for nasolabial deformities, causing surgeons to rely heavily on their experience to determine surgical strategies. Nasal sill morphology reflects the severity of nasolabial deformities and plays a crucial role in facial aesthetics. This study introduces a novel classification for secondary cleft nasolabial deformities based on nasal sill morphology from the base view and provides tailored surgical techniques for each type.

Cellulite is a highly prevalent and aesthetically distressing skin condition. Whilst there are a variety of treatment modalities, none are definitively established.

Significant advancements have been made in the field of clinically relevant fat research over the past decade. A systematic analysis of publications in this domain is essential. This study aims to identify research hotspots and evolving trends in clinically relevant adipose tissue research through bibliometric analysis.

Post-bariatric surgery is one of the fastest-growing subspecialties in plastic surgery. The increase in the number of surgical procedures has not been followed by an equivalent categorization of patients. Surgical innovations and technical refinements are widespread, while clear classification and objectification of surgical indications are lacking.
