Modified facelift in severe plexiform neurofibromatosis associated with venous vascular malformation: Case report
We present the case of a 48-year-old female patient with right hemifacial neurofibromatosis associated with venous vascular malformation, previously treated surgically and then with sclerosing agents, determining severe residual facial deformity. Her surgical approach using a modified facelift technique associated with partial tumor debulking and lipofilling seems to be a valid technical alternative for these highly complex cases that require a customized approach after exhaustive preoperative evaluation.PMID:36543616 | DOI:10.1016/j.anplas.2022.11.004 (Source: Annales de Chirurgie)

Acute Demyelinating Encephalopathy with Positive Anti-acetylcholine Receptor Antibody Possibly after Cosmetic Use of Botulinum Toxin: A Case Report and Literature Review
CONCLUSIONS: This clinical profile suggests a possible pathogenic immunoreaction of BTxA infiltration and demyelinating encephalopathy. Based on the immune risk of BTxA, low-dose cosmetic use should also be considered prudently, particularly those who have potential immunologic dysfunction or history of viral infection.PMID:36528883 (Source: Neuroendocrinology Letters)

Rhytidectomy —Information Patients Seek and Where They Find Answers
This study identifies the most searched queries regarding rhytidectomy and evaluates sources to which patients are directed. The search engine optimization tool Ahrefs was utilized to extract Google metadata on searches performed in the United States. Frequently asked questions were categorized by topic; websites were categorized by type. Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) benchmark criteria enabled information quality assessment. A total of 565 questions for three search phrases were extracted (265 “facelift,” 265 “face lift,” and 35 “rhytidectomy”). The majority of monthly searches in the face...

Advanced Endoscopic Techniques in Asian Facial Rejuvenation
Clin Plast Surg. 2023 Jan;50(1):51-60. doi: 10.1016/j.cps.2022.07.008.ABSTRACTAsian anatomy and concepts of beauty differ from whites. Traditional SMAS face-lifts are developed based on a white patient population and not ideal to achieve the aesthetic goals of Asian patients. The characteristics of the ideal facial rejuvenation techniques for Asians comprise hidden incisions to avoid hypertrophic scarring and cultural stigma. The authors' approach addresses the Asian face in all dimensions using minimally invasive modalities combined with skin regenerative methods. This surgical technique is called the "Ponytail Lift." It ...

Facial Rejuvenation with Open Technique After Previous Filler Injection
The complications associated with polyacrylamide hydrogel injection including tissue infection, nodular formation, and migration along tissue planes have been well-documented. Complete removal of injected material is seldom possible. Patients who underwent removal of injected material were significantly more likely to express interest in facelift. We provide an open surgical technique with facelift incision to deal with the removal of polyacrylamide hydrogel and complication due to volume deflation and tissue descent.
