Double Chin Concerns after En Bloc Mandibular U-Shaped Osteotomy: Submental-Cervical Soft Tissue Changes and Anterior Belly of Digastric Muscle Assessment
ConclusionThe degree of soft tissue relaxation after U-shaped osteotomy is related to the extent of osteotomy. Notably, the protrusion of ABDM relative to the mandibular margin affects submental-cervical contour aesthetics. Prior to U-shaped osteotomy, it is crucial to assess the soft tissue condition of the patient’s lower face, and the individua lized design of the osteotomy volume should be carried out cautiously and safely.Level of Evidence IVThis journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

A Grading System-Guided Approach to the Severely Contracted Nose
ConclusionsUsing this grading system, we propose a graduated treatment algorithm for contracted noses. Most notable is our use of radial forearm free or forehead flaps to reconstruct the columella in grade Vb patients. By combining reconstructive and aesthetic principles, this treatment approach provides an effective and elegant solution for the management of the severely contracted nose.Level of Evidence IVThis journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

Evaluating 3D Simulation Accuracy for Breast Augmentation Outcomes: A Volumetric and Surface Contour Analysis in Chinese Patients
ConclusionsThe Canfield Vectra XT 3D system has proven to be remarkably accurate in predicting the volumetric outcomes of breast augmentation surgery, with an accuracy rate exceeding 91.9%. It stands as a valuable tool for surgeons and patients alike, enhancing the preoperative planning process by offering a realistic preview of surgical results. This advancement not only facilitates a deeper understanding and setting of realistic expectations for patients but also strengthens the communication between patients and surgeons, ultimately leading to higher satisfaction rates with the surgical outcomes. It also emphasizes the ...

Screening for Body Dysmorphic Disorder in Plastic Surgery Patients
ConclusionOf the six screening tools for body dysmorphic disorder available for use in clinical practice that have been validated in a cosmetic population setting, we have chosen to use the BDD Questionnaire Aesthetic Surgery (BDDQ-AS). To date all available validated screening tools are based on the DSM-IV, and further work to develop a validated screening tool based on the revised definition of BDD in the DSM-V is recommended, with a particular focus on items relating to repetitive physical or mental behaviours.Level of Evidence IIIThis journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

Type IV Collagen Promotes Adipogenic Differentiation of Adipose Stem Cells
In this study, ASCs were obtained from human liposuction samples and cultured. Lipogenic induction of ASCs was achieved using lipogenic induction medium. Immunofluorescence analysis revealed differential expression of type IV collagen during the early and late stages of adipogenic induction, displaying a distinct morphological encapsulation of ASCs. Silencing of type IV collagen using siRNA resulted in a significant decrease in adipogenic capacity, as indicated by reduced lipid droplet formation and downregulation of adipogenic-related gene transcription. Conversely, supplementation of the culture medium with synthetic typ...

Enhancing Safety in Tumescent Liposuction: Managing Sedation-Related Respiratory Issues and Serious Complications Under Deep Sedation with the Propofol –Ketamine Protocol
ConclusionsThe analysis of 3094 tumescent liposuction cases highlighted the overall safety profile of the propofol –ketamine protocol under deep sedation. The scarcity of severe complications underscores its viability. The study emphasizes the significance of thorough preoperative assessments, careful patient selection, and awareness of potential complications. Prompt interventions, particularly in addressing sedation-related respiratory issues, further contribute to positive outcomes for patients.Level of Evidence IVThis journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

Fresh Frozen Cartilage in Rhinoplasty Surgery: A Systematic Review of Outcomes
ConclusionFresh frozen cartilage may be a safe and reliable alternative to autologous rib grafts. Complication rates were comparable to previous systematic reviews of autologous graft and irradiated allograft. Overall, patients reported high satisfaction rates with low rates of revision procedures. Further studies are required to assess both clinical and cost effectiveness against the current gold standard (autologous graft).Level of Evidence III Rhinoplasty.
