Efficacy and Safety of Triamcinolone Acetonide Injections Following Rhinoplasty: A Systematic Review of Recommended Doses, Complications, and Outcomes
ConclusionTo our knowledge, this is the first systematic review to address this issue. Our results demonstrate the ease and safety of TAIs as a first-line treatment, with positive outcomes and limited complications. TAIs can be used early postoperatively to minimize the need for revision surgery. Despite the limited number of studies on TAIs, this study provides the best available evidence that can help surgeons decide when to use the injection, the intervals between doses, and the duration of use. Further randomized controlled trials are required to confirm our findings.Level of Evidence IIThis journal requires that autho...

Advanced Facial Rejuvenation: Synergistic Effects of Lower Blepharoplasty and Ultrasound Guided Mid-Face Lift Using Polydioxanone (PDO) Threads
ConclusionThe combination of lower blepharoplasty and mid-face lift using PDO threads is a comprehensive and effective approach for facial rejuvenation. It significantly enhances wrinkle reduction, mid-face lifting, and patient satisfaction. Ultrasound-guided thread lifting, a method of assessing and performing mid-face lifting, proves to be safe and efficient. This approach holds promise as a future option in cosmetic anti-aging surgery, presenting a minimally invasive alternative with natural-looking results and reduced downtime.Level of Evidence IIThis journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each art...

Greater Risk Taking in Cosmetic Surgery Acceptance and History: An Experimental and Computational Study
AbstractCosmetic surgery is ever more affordable and accessible, but carries physical and psychological risks. Yet, no study to date has directly examined risk-taking behaviour under controlled conditions, beyond self-report and in relation to cosmetic surgery attitudes. We used the Balloon Analogue Risk Task and advanced computational modelling to measure decision-making behaviour and identify the latent parameters driving behaviour associated with cosmetic surgery attitudes in women with no cosmetic surgery history (N = 265) and a subsample of women with a cosmetic surgery history (N = 24). Risk taking was higher in wome...

Superomedial Pedicle Technique and Management of Circulation Problems in Gigantomastia
AbstractBreast reduction surgeries encompass a wide range of methods that are continuously evolving to discover more reliable and satisfactory techniques. This presentation aims to address the research gap by sharing outcomes and experiences using the superomedial pedicle in gigantomastia, as well as the implemented protocol for managing nipple-areola complex (NAC) ischemia. The Wise pattern and superomedial pedicle reduction mammaplasty method were utilized in treating 19 patients (38 breasts). The average age of the patients was 41.47 years, with a basal mass index (BMI) of 33.27 kg/m2. The mean sternal notch to nipple (...
