Investigating Methods to Prevent Blindness From Facial Fat Injections
In the article “Association of Autologous Fat Injection in Facial Artery With Ophthalmological Complications: An Experimental Animal Study” in this issue ofJAMA Facial Plastic Surgery Liu et al highlight the importance of understanding this very rare but dreaded complication associated with facial fat injections. Using a rabbit model, the authors investigated ophthalmological consequences of retrograde injection into the facial artery, comparing minced fat, fat granules, fat lipid, and saline control injections. They found that the method of adipose tissue procurement played a significant role, contributing to the high...

Perceived Facial Distortions in Selfies Are Explained by Viewing Habits
To the Editor In their recent article, Ward et al analyze the effect of camera distance on the relative sizes of facial dimensions in photographs. They argue that these dimensions are distorted in “selfies”—photographs that people take of themselves with a smartphone camera at arm’s length. Given the increasing popularity of selfies, they express concern that such photographs affect decisions about cosmetic medical procedures. We agree with the authors’ calculations of facial dimens ions in photographs. We wish, however, to clarify the cause of perceived nasal widening in selfies. The perceived nasal widening is ...
