Investigation of the Relationship of Functional Improvement and Body Mass Index in Breast Reduction Patients
ConclusionFunctional improvement was not related to body mass index in reduction mammoplasty patients. Functional benefits were observed similarly in both obese and non-obese patients. A precise threshold value for body weight, body mass index and amount of breast tissue could not be defined as an indication for functional reduction mammoplasty.Level of Evidence IVThis journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

Comparative Analysis of Lower Island Flap Transposition (LIFT) in Wise-Pattern Mastopexy: Does It Improve Upper Pole Fullness and Breast Harmony?
ConclusionImplementing the LIFT technique alongside the wise-pattern superior pedicle mastopexy decreases the occurrence of bottoming-out deformity after 1 year. Although there is no statistically significant difference, the LIFT flap technique has contributed to some extent to upper pole fullness.Level of Evidence VThis journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

Comparative Analysis of Temperature-Responsive Hydrogel (PF 72) for Postoperative Pain After Bimaxillary Surgery: A Retro-spective Study
AbstractBimaxillary surgery is a painful invasive procedure in plastic surgery. Pain control is typically achieved using intravenous analgesics. We aimed to investigate the efficacy of a novel temperature-responsive hydrogel, PF72, mixed with ropivacaine, as a local pain management solution when applied directly to the surgical site following orthognathic surgery. The study was conducted from October 2022 to July 2023 and included a cohort of 40 candidates for orthognathic surgery, encompassing LeFort I maxillary ostectomy and sagittal split ramus osteotomy. The participants were divided into an Injection group (n  = 20)...
