An Analysis of Racial Diversity in the Breast Reconstruction and Aesthetic Surgery Literature
This study evaluates racial diversity in photographs published in the aesthetic and breast reconstruction literature.
Methods:
A photogrammetric analysis of plastic surgery journals from the USA, Canada, and Europe was performed. Color photographs depicting human skin, pertaining to breast reconstruction and aesthetic surgery in 2000, 2010, and 2020, were categorized as White (1β3) or non-White (4β6) based on the Fitzpatrick scale.
Results:
All journals demonstrated significantly more White skin images than non-White for all procedures (P (Source: Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Global Open)

Legislations Mandating Insurance Coverage Are Highly Effective in Delivering Surgical Care of Transgender Patients
Background:
Although gender-affirming surgery is increasingly performed, few studies have examined any temporal correlation between legislations mandating transgender care and the actuation of such surgical care.
Methods:
We assembled a retrospective cohort utilizing the National Inpatient Sample database from 2000 to 2018. We stratified utility trends of gender-affirming surgery based on insurance payer types and regions in a crisscrossing effort to detect any temporal or cause-effect relationship between legislations and outcomes. All regions according to the latest National Inpatient Sample categorization wer...

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) Implant for the Reconstruction of Severe Destruction in the Maxilla: Case Report
This article reports a special case of a patient with major destruction in his maxilla due to a war injury. The resultant defect was reconstructed with a 3D-printed, patient-specific, PEEK implant, restoring acceptable function and aesthetics. The patient followed up for 13 months and showed no technical or biological complications, proving the reliability of this treatment option for recreating severe maxillofacial deformities, and benefiting from the advantage they offer, which is eliminating the need for additional surgery to harvest autogenous bone grafts. Thus, when applicable, the use of PEEK implants could be a poss...

Stroke Due to Orthognathic Surgery: Case Report of a Rare Complication
Summary:
Le Fort I osteotomy is a frequent surgical procedure used in orthognathic surgeries to treat severe malocclusions and is associated with relatively rare surgical complications. Here, the authors report a case of thrombotic ischemic stroke as a result of this procedure, a complication still not described in the literature. A 19-year-old man with class II malocclusion and retrognathia underwent orthognathic surgery for aesthetic purposes. The surgery included a Le Fort I maxillary osteotomy with vertical impaction, bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy for mandibular advancement, and genioplasty. Postoperativ...

Current Concepts in Cranial Reconstruction: Review of Alloplastic Materials
Conclusions:
Alloplastic materials should be considered for reconstruction of large (>100βcm2) cranial defects, especially for adult patients younger than 30 years, and all patients with bone flaps that are fragmented or have been cryopreserved for an extended period. Preformed titanium mesh provides a favorable primary reconstructive option when a staged reconstruction is not possible or indicated but should be avoided in composite defects reconstructed with locoregional scalp and free muscle flaps.

Data-driven Normative Reference of Pediatric Cranial Bone Development
We present a fully data-driven normative model that represents the age- and sex-specific variability of bone shape, thickness, and density between birth and 10 years of age at every location of the calvaria.
Methods:
The model was built using a cross-sectional and multi-institutional pediatric computed tomography image dataset with 2068 subjects without cranial pathology (age 0β10 years). We combined principal component analysis and temporal regression to build a statistical model of cranial bone development at every location of the calvaria. We studied the influences of sex on cranial bone growth, and our bone de...

Nasal Tip Depressor Manipulation through Upper Buccal Sulcus Approach in Selected Open Primary Rhinoplasties
Conclusions:
The combination of the UBSA with open rhinoplasty resulted in objective visualization and manipulation of the NTDs. This was proven by the maintained NTP and NLA in aesthetic optimum values throughout the follow-up period. We believe that UBSA can be safely combined with open rhinoplasty as a reliable hidden approach to manipulate hyperactive NTD cases. (Source: Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Global Open)

Facelift Surgery after Permanent Filler: Outcomes after Removal of Permanent Filler under Local Anesthesia
Background:
Permanent fillers were previously used to fix wrinkles associated with aging as they were considered a reasonable choice for facial rejuvenation. However, the subsequent removal of permanent fillers is of great concern to surgeons before performing a facelift surgery. Many studies have evaluated the outcomes of facelift surgery; however, we sought to evaluate the outcomes of facelift surgery which required removal of fillers beforehand.
Methods:
This retrospective cohort study evaluated the outcomes of 50 patients with regard to patient satisfaction and postoperative complications of facelift surgery...

Influential Factors for Selecting a Plastic Surgeon: A National Survey in Saudi Arabia
Conclusions:
This study showed that the most common factor for choosing an aesthetic surgeon was the surgeonsβ qualifications. Thus, Saudi aesthetic surgeons and aspiring Saudi aesthetic surgeons must focus on obtaining high qualifications to attract more patients. Furthermore, an internationally board-certified surgeon is the most preferred surgeon for Saudi Arabian patients; thus, traveling abroad to world-renowned institutions is recommended.
