Pediatric Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

Cleft Lip Repair and Primary and Intermediate Cleft Rhinoplasties
The cleft lip is one of the most common craniofacial abnormalities seen worldwide. The lip and primary rhinoplasty repairs are performed together in a single surgery for patients aged 3 to 6  months. The intermediate rhinoplasty has fallen out of favor due to more advanced approaches at primary rhinoplasty. However, it still plays a role in addressing severe nasal airway obstruction or correcting anatomic differences causing emotional distress from social ridicule. The article reviews the incidence of cleft lip, discusses its development and variant anatomy, and examines the approaches to surgical repair of the cleft clip...

Radiofrequency Microneedling
Radiofrequency microneedling is a technique that allows energy to be delivered to specified target depths in the skin via needle electrodes and measures temperature and impedance within the tissue. This method of delivery and real-time feedback has increased safety and efficacy, providing clinically significant improvements in skin laxity, rhytids, and cellulite.

Aesthetician Role in Facial Plastic Surgery and Systemic Therapy for Healthy Skin
Non-surgical services are an important part of many facial plastic surgery practices and can improve patient satisfaction as well as bring new patients to the practice. An aesthetician can help to prepare patients for surgery and non-surgical procedures as well as optimize skin care during the recovery period. The scope of practice of aestheticians varies widely between states. Facial plastic surgeons who are delegating procedures to an aesthetician need to be familiar and comply with the state regulations and be up to date on ongoing changes. The connection between nutrition, skin, aging, and recovery from surgical proced...

Sign of the Times
For the past 10 years, the increasing trend of noninvasive therapies over traditional Facial Plastic Surgery has impacted all of our practices not only because of the patients ’ desires for minimal downtime but also because of the increasing effectiveness of these therapies, which can complement and enhance our surgical results. For many of us in mature practices, we have seen the average age of patients seeking face-lift surgery becoming older as many people are underg oing volume enhancement, energy-based skin treatments, and sophisticated skin care at younger ages for “prejuvenation” prior to considering surgery. ...

Holistic Approach for Noninvasive Facial Rejuvenation by Simultaneous Use of High Intensity Focused Electrical Stimulation and Synchronized Radiofrequency
Understanding facial anatomy is a key aspect for successful treatment of age-related changes manifested to facial tissues. Namely, changes to the facial muscles and their connective tissue framework result in an increased soft tissue laxity, leading to wrinkling, sagging, and altered texture. This review elaborates on the use of novel high intensity focused electrical stimulation (HIFES) and Synchronized RF technology to improve facial muscle tone and skin structure, focusing on the technology background and clinical aspects.

Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Protocols in Craniofacial Surgery
Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS) refers to a patient centered, multidisciplinary team developed pathway aimed at reducing the surgical stress response and facilitating expedited patient postoperative recovery. These protocols have been largely developed in the general surgery literature and have led to vast improvements in the patient experience. ERAS protocols are generally substantiated on 3 phases along the continuum of surgical care: preadmission optimization, intraoperative treatment, and postoperative management. In this article, the evidence for ERAS development in craniomaxillofacial surgery will be reviewed,...

Pediatric Craniomaxillofacial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Is Here to Stay
Pediatric Craniomaxillofacial (CMF) Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery is a mouthful, but it encompasses a very broad array of disorders cared for by several specialties. Otolaryngology –Head and Neck Surgery, Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Oculoplastic Surgery, and Dermatologic Surgery all provide care for patients with CMF problems. And there are pediatric subspecialists in each of these disciplines . (Source: Facial Plastic Surgery Clinics of North America)

Pediatric Facial Reanimation
Pediatric facial palsy is rare but severely debilitating and results in profound functional, developmental, psychosocial, and esthetic consequences. Identifying the specific cause of the palsy is important in directing the treatment course. The most common etiologies of pediatric facial palsy are distinct from those of adults. Facial reanimation interventions are targeted to address the zones of the face, with oral/smile rehabilitation the most common region requiring intervention in pediatric patients. Gracilis microneurovascular free tissue transfer is safe and highly effective in the pediatric population, providing sign...

Degradation Therapy with Collagenase and Deoxycholate
This article will discuss the indications for the use of deoxycholic acid, primarily its well-established role in the non-surgical reduction of submental fat, with a focus on patient assessment, procedural technique, risks, pitfalls, and key clinical tips. It will also review the indications for collagenase as a degradation therapy, its mechanism of action, and benefits in the management of wound healing, scarring, and adipose tissue modification.
