Male Facial Rejuvenation
The rise in popularity of facial cosmetic enhancement for men has been spurred on in part by increasing social media awareness. Traditionally, men have been fearful not only of looking unnatural but also for undertaking procedures that they may deem to be uncommon for their gender. However, today with online media celebrating many men revealing their natural transformations, those barriers are quickly falling away. This past year I have performed almost as many facelifts in men as in women. Conversely, I also perform almost as many hair transplants in women as in men, perhaps for similar reasons of stigmas or unawareness f...

Response to: “Impact of adjuvant radiochemotherapy on free flap volume in head and neck reconstruction still needs to be further verified”
We greatly appreciate the opportunity to transparently discuss our recently published work in the Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery.1 Yan Wei and colleagues have raised several interesting concerns regarding our analysis and recommended further validation of our conclusions. We concur that additional, robust studies are indeed necessary to validate our findings. Nonetheless, we are confident that our meta-analysis provides qualitative and significant insights that can be integrated into the clinical decision-making process.

Litigation in Gender Affirming Surgery: Reviewing Five Decades of the Medical Malpractice Landscape
The present study sought to analyze malpractice cases related to gender affirming surgery to provide information to physicians as it may serve to minimize the risk of malpractice suits. The Westlaw and Lexis Nexis databases were queried for jury verdicts and settlements related to gender affirming surgery malpractice lawsuits. A total of 26 cases were identified between 1970 and 2020, five of which were determined relevant on further review. Motives included adverse surgical and medical outcomes, and failure to treat.

Taylor flap (Oblique Rectus Abdominus flap) for perineal reconstruction after abdominoperineal resection. Short and long terms morbidity. A single center series of 140 patients.
Abdominoperineal resection (APR) leads to a substantial loss of tissue and a high rate of complications. The Taylor flap is a musculocutaneous flap that is used in reconstruction after APR.Our objectives were to analyze the short and long-term morbidity of reconstruction with a Taylor flap (Oblique Rectus Abdominus flap) after APR and to identify the risk factors for post-operative complications.

A novel surgical correction using a combination of wave incision and Z-axis Z-plasty for congenital constriction band syndrome
A congenital constriction band (CCB) is a relatively common anomaly among limb malformations. However, the number of cases treated at a given center is limited and differences in techniques used by surgeons at each facility have a significant impact on treatment outcomes. Several surgical methods have been reported, but a standard technique that yields consistent satisfactory results is still needed. Here, we introduce a novel technique for treatment of CCB syndrome that uses a combination of wave skin incision and Z-axis Z-plasty.

The Impact of Postoperative Infection on Revision Procedures in Breast Reconstruction: A Marketscan Database Analysis
Aesthetic complications, such as capsular contracture and soft tissue contour defects, hinder the desired outcomes of breast reconstruction. As subclinical infection is a prevailing theory behind capsular contracture, we investigated how postoperative infections impact these issues and revision procedures.

From resection to restoration: assesing the synergy of polypropylene mesh (marlex ®) combined to methyl-methacrylate and latissimus dorsi flap for primary chest wall sarcomas
Chest wall sarcomas are treated with extensive resections and complex defect reconstruction to restore chest wall integrity. It's a difficult surgical procedure that necessitates a multidisciplinary approach for the best outcome, preventing paradoxical chest movement issues, and reducing complications.

B-Ultrasound-Assisted Gluteal Fat Grafting in Asians: A Prospective Study of Quantitative Results with Three-Dimensional Imaging and B-Ultrasound Analysis
The increasing number of fatalities caused by gluteal fat grafting is concerning; thus, there is a need to determine ways to obtain the ideal aesthetic effect while ensuring a safe operation. In this paper, three-dimensional (3D) measurements combined with B-ultrasound were used to evaluate the effect of gluteal fat augmentation in Asians, whose safety and effectiveness were confirmed by quantitative data.

Congenital midline cervical cleft: Management of a case series and literature review
Congenital cervical cleft of the midline is a rare anomaly classified as a malformation of the branchial arches and represents less than 2% of congenital cervical malformations. Its clinical presentation involves cervical midline deformities: cephalic nodular lesion, linear groove with atrophic surface and/or caudal sinus. Other midline alterations of variable complexity can also be present. Its treatment should be performed early to avoid long-term complications. Based on the approach of four patients by the authors, a search for the reports published in the last twenty years on the subject in the international literature...
