The future of visual documentation? Assessing the use of videography in facial plastic surgery.
Conclusions: Videography holds favorable potential as the future format of visual documentation in facial plastic surgery due to its ability to capture the full range of dynamic facial expression. Establishing standards and setup guidelines for video capture will be essential in increasing its adoption.

Minimally invasive nasal valve treatment
Facial Plast Surg DOI: 10.1055/a-1849-5594Nasal valve insufficiency can be addressed using endonasal and open structure surgical techniques. However, some patients may prefer or be better suited for minimally invasive techniques that allow for more expedient treatment in the clinical setting. Techniques include internal dilators, external dilators, suture suspension, lateral wall implants, and radiofrequency remodeling. Understanding the indications for each technique as well as the available evidence can help facial plastic surgeons assess the role of incorporating these techniques into the care of patients with nasal val...

Secondary Correction of Posttraumatic Enophthalmos
Facial Plast Surg DOI: 10.1055/a-1849-5491Posttraumatic enophthalmos (PE) arises when the ocular globe is displaced posteriorly and inferiorly in the orbital cavity due to a mismatch in orbital volume and orbital content. This most commonly happens after orbital fractures. The resulting disruptions to aesthetic form and ocular functions often necessitate surgical correction for reconstruction and restoration.
The purpose of surgical management of PE is to reconstruct orbital shape and volume as well as to restore any herniated orbital content. This can be particularly challenging in cases involving large defects that req...

Arcade Sutures to Minimize Ear Displacement in Rhytidectomy
Facial Plast Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1749409Ear deformities after rhytidectomy are not uncommon and have a significant impact on cosmetic success. We postulate the use of horizontal mattress suspension sutures in the anterior face anchored to the deep temporalis fascia (DTF) during rhytidectomy allows for a vertical lift while minimizing the risk to the frontal branch of the facial nerve and decreasing forward rotation of the ear. To compare auricular displacement during rhytidectomy using an arcade of horizontal mattress suspension sutures anchored to the DTF instead of the preauricular pre-parotid fascia, and evaluate o...

Functionally Addressing Perioral Impairments of the Paralyzed Face
Facial Plast Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1750292Management of facial palsy is targeted toward correction of individual patient concerns. Both esthetic perioral changes to the face and functional perioral deficits are commonly concerning to patients with facial paly. Herein, we review perioral impairments resulting from both flaccid and postparalytic facial palsy. Additionally, we discuss targeted therapy and a multitude of technical interventions aimed at restoring perioral functionality to optimize oral competence, speech articulation, and quality of life for facial palsy patients.

The Rhytidectomy Scar: Analysis of Patient and Surgeon Perspectives
This study analyzes the perception of the rhytidectomy scar from the perspective of cosmetic patients and surgeons. Cross-sectional surveys were administered in-person to cosmetic patients and online to facial plastic and reconstructive surgeons in the United States. Participants were presented with standardized lateral view photographs of preauricular scars for 10 patients at least 12 months post rhytidectomy procedure. A variety of rhytidectomy incisions were chosen to include pre- versus post-tragal incisions, blunted hair tuft, hypopigmentation, narrow versus wide scar healing. Participants were asked to rate the outco...

The Overfilled Face
Facial Plast Surg 2022; 38: 173-176 DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1744180The desire for longevity, beauty, and health is as old as the history of human culture. Minimizing tissue damage and invasive surgeries has led to a variety of options in the 21st century medicine. In the past 20 years, hyaluronic acid filler injections have thus become a popular modality of treatment for facial rejuvenation due to low costs for patients with immediately visible results. Ideally, the treated face looks natural. We aim at stopping time, maybe tweaking the handles of our clocks a bit backward to counteract aging processes, but creating a natural ...

Exokine and the Youth-Boosting Treatment Based on One's Own Serum: Wheat and Chaff
Facial Plast Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1747970Within the field of skin rejuvenation, clinicians have broadened the application of proven therapies toward antiaging medicine. Specifically, both platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and autologous-conditioned serum (ACS) have received great consideration among experts for novel indications. While the medical research focused on ACS is strengthened in their evidence and supported by promising outcomes, much more debates exist regarding the efficacy of PRP. Despite limited supporting literature to date, physicians and surgeons should be encouraged to explore the use of these approaches an...
