Face-off: Social Media Responsibility in Medicine and Non-surgical Treatment of the Face
Facial Plast Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0041-1741500The practice of reaching an audience through social media to promote non-surgical treatments of the face is in its infancy. Young adults, arguably the most health-literate generation to date, comprise both the majority of users targeted by social media and the fastest growing demographic seeking cosmetic consultation. We know that this age group is also at an increased risk of depression and body dysmorphia in an era where non-surgical cosmetic options are typically thought to be gateways to surgical treatments. In light of these facts, it seems the ethics of medicine might be l...

Mathematical Modeling of Eyebrow Curvature
Facial Plast Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0041-1742200The aim of the study is to describe a mathematical model for analyzing eyebrow curvature that can be applied broadly to curvilinear facial features. A total of 100 digital images (50 men, 50 women) were obtained from standardized headshots of medical professionals. Images were analyzed in ImageJ by plotting either 8 or 15 points along the inferior-most row of contiguous brow cilia. A best-fit curve was automatically fit to these points in Microsoft Excel. The second derivative of the second-degree polynomial and a fourth-degree polynomial were used to evaluate brow curvature. Bo...

A Buccal Space Approach for Midface Free Flap Reconstruction
This article describes a transbuccal approach to reach the facial vessels. The anatomy of this intraoral approach is predictable, minimizing the risk of facial nerve dysfunction. This technique provides the possibility of free flap midface reconstruction with short pedicles and avoids the need to use vein grafts. Moreover, it is esthetically preferable. Through cadaver dissection and anatomical drawings, we describe extensively the different surgical steps. Using the combination of the previous knowledge and recent anatomical understandings, we can provide a reliable step-by-step approach to find the facial artery and vein...

Tear Trough and Lid –Cheek Junction Anatomy: Current Understanding and Non-Surgical Treatment
This article will review the advances that have led to our current understanding of tear trough anatomy. We propose a new functional classification of the lid–cheek junction for soft tissue filler treatment, and suggest simpler stratification of patients seeking lower eyelid treatment based on the etiology of their tear trough depression. We aim to describe a stepwise approach to management, with specific technical considerations targeting the underlying causes of lower eyelid pathology. The common complications and pitfalls of non-surgical tear trough management will be discussed. [...] Thieme Medical Publishers, Inc. 3...

The 7-point Shape and The 9-point Shape: An Innovative Non-Surgical Approach to Improve the Facial Shape
This article presents two non-surgical approaches developed from the MD Codes system denominated “The 7-point Shape” and “The 9-point Shape.” Both techniques were designed to help create a more feminine and masculine look, respectively. The aim is to provide foundation for the midface (cheek) and contour for the lower face (chin and jawline) and indirectly improve the facial signs that patients usually focus on when looking for aesthetic treatment (lines, folds, jowls, double chin, etc.). The MD Codes platform aims to deliver an alternative to surgery with injectables. The 7-point Shape and The 9-point Shape may pr...
