Efficacy and Safety of Type III Collagen Lyophilized Fibers Using Mid-to-Deep Dermal Facial Injections for the Correction of Dynamic Facial Wrinkles
ConclusionsInjections of lyophilized type III collagen fibers into the mid-to-deep layers of the facial dermis have a definitive therapeutic effect on dynamic facial wrinkles. This treatment not only substantially diminishes wrinkle severity but also has a commendable safety profile.Level of Evidence IThis journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

Morphometric Predictors of Penile Length Increase After Division of its Suspensory Ligament
ConclusionsThis study highlights the potential to predict penile length gain post-ligamentolysis through measurable anatomical parameters. The ability to anticipate the outcome of this procedure could empower surgeons to provide informed counseling, potentially elevating patient satisfaction.An experimental cross-sectional study was performed to investigate the outcomes of penile lengthening surgeryPenile lengthening was achieved in all subjects via complete dissection of the suspensory ligament of the penisPenile length increase may be predicted preoperatively using easily measurable anatomical parametersNo Level Assigned...

Rejuvenation in Men Facial Aging: A Combined Approach
AbstractFacelift surgery, also known as rhytidectomy, is a popular cosmetic procedure aimed at reversing the signs of facial aging. While facelift surgery is more commonly performed in women, an increasing number of men are seeking this procedure to maintain a youthful appearance. The long recovery period conflicts the overall primary outcome anticipated by men undergoing rhytidectomy, i.e., appear younger, youthful, and ready to reaffirm their value in the working environment. Anterior direct neck lift, blepharoplasty (upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty), and lipofilling are three techniques that have been shown to be ...

Rhinoplasty Preferences: Can the Public Detect Prior Surgery on Social Media?

To provide optimal results following rhinoplasty, surgeons may therefore seek to provide a natural, “un-operated” look.Level of Evidence IVThis journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

Changes of Facial Lipidomics by Intense Pulsed Light Treatment Based on LC-MS
ConclusionsIPL treatment does not have a significant effect on the overall amount of lipids while the amount of TG, PA, PG, LPG were significantly increased. These lipid changes may potentially improve the skin barrier function, but more high-quality and comprehensive studies are still needed.Bullet PointLipidomics analysis based on LC-MS; Changes of skin surface lipid after IPL treatment; the relationships between skin surface lipid and skin barrier functions.Level of Evidence IVThis journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

Radiographic Study of the Nasal Valve in Different CT Evaluation Method in Asian Patients with Unilateral Cleft Lip Nose
ConclusionThe results of the two CT evaluation methods showed that there was a significant difference in nasal valve area on the cleft and non-cleft sides, which was significantly associated with nasal ventilation disturbance. The CT evaluation method based on standard axial 3D reconstruction is more convenient to use in the clinic, can be used for pre-surgical evaluation of nasal repair in patients with secondary nasal deformities of unilateral cleft lip, and is valuable for treatment.Level of Evidence IVThis journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

The 3-Level Approach to Facelift Planning: A Simple Paradigm for Surgical Rejuvenation of the Face
AbstractOur role as aesthetic surgeons demands individualized surgical planning that maximizes patient input and understanding. The value of such shared decision-making (SDM) in aesthetic surgery is becoming increasingly appreciated. This is particularly true for potential patients seeking surgical rejuvenation of the face, where the volume of “educational” information available on the internet, and through various social medial channels, may be overwhelming and even misleading. Presented is a “3-Level approach to facelift planning” named for the facial subregions targeted. This novel paradigm maximizes SDM with it...

The Problem of Diagnostic Criteria of Breast Implant Illness in Women After Breast Reconstruction: Review and Discussion of a Case
ConclusionBased on our case, we point on the fact that BII diagnosis in patients after breast reconstruction is challenging. We suggest that while considering such a diagnosis and further proceedings, e.g. explantation, especially in patients after breast reconstruction, some exclusion criteria should be considered. Dissatisfaction with the result of the surgery can also lead to somatisation and the presence of real clinical symptoms, which should not be confused with the possible autoimmune reaction to silicone particles.Level of Evidence IV This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
