JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery —The Year in Review, 2018
JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery enters its third decade of existence vibrant and soaring. Once again, we easily topped our submission numbers from the previous year —372 in 2018 vs 262 in 2017. This and other statistics for 2018, including the top articles covered in news and social media and cited by other journals, can be seen in theTable. In addition, our research manuscripts, arguably the most important category, increased by 81% from 2017. Another exciting highlight is that we published 5 clinical trials this past year, which is the most we have ever published in a single year. (Source: JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery)

Opioid Prescription Patterns After Rhinoplasty
To the Editor We read with great interest the study by Sethi et al on Opioid Prescription Patterns After Rhinoplasty. The authors ’ scientific methodology was creative and insightful. As you know, we published a similarly titled study in November of 2017. To our knowledge, this was the first study in our field to discuss the impact of opioids and scientifically suggest a methodology for altering prescribing patterns. The stu dy by Sethi et al is remarkable in that it used a public resource available to physicians in almost every state: prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMPs). While noting that the overall refill ra...

Opioid Prescription Patterns After Rhinoplasty —Reply
In Reply We applaud your groundbreaking publication on opioid use by patients after rhinoplasty. The significance of your findings cannot be overstated: facial plastic surgeons overprescribe opioids after rhinoplasty to a particularly vulnerable patient population at significantly greater risk for opioid abuse and prescription diversion. Your work was a major impetus for our group to expand the conversation on opioid prescription behaviors after rhinoplasty, using data from a statewide prescription drug-monitoring program. We strongly agree that we must now act toprevent opioid overprescription and optimize pain management...
