Effect of Facial Fillers on Post-rhinoplasty edema: A Hypothesis Based on Literature Review.

The quest to achieve younger and media-driven facial aesthetics has resulted in an exponential increase in the use of facial fillers. Inevitably, this has meant that it is now commonplace for facial plastic surgeons to have patients with fillers in the face. In the senior author's experience (A.

The Fish Bone Technique: An Innovative Approach for the Bony Nasal Pyramid.

Among many contributions to the world of art and science, Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci created the technique known as . In this technique, da Vinci considered that the regions to be highlighted should be lit up, while the regions to be hidden should be darkened. Drawing parallel with the face, we can work on the anatomical structures underlying the skin and create a favorable surface anatomy for the entire face, including the nose.

Localised swelling at sites of dermal filler injections following administration of Covid-19 vaccines: a systematic review.

Introduction: Localised swelling at sites of filler injections has been reported in the Moderna mRNA-1273 coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine trial.

Methods: We conducted a review of the existing data and literature on the potential pathophysiology for this adverse event and its potential management.

Results: Data from the Moderna and Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine Phase 3 trial and one case series were available.

Management of Wide Alar Lobule Using Preservation Rhinoplasty Philosophy: Alar Coring Technique.

A broad alar base disrupts nasal harmony and facial aesthetic balance and is an aesthetic concern for many patients. This wide appearance may be related to excessive nostril sill, alar flare, wide alar lobule, or a combination. Many techniques are described in literature to address the alar base with resultant scars to a variable degree.

Are Antibiotics Needed in Septorhinoplasty? An Evidence-Based Approach.

The use of prophylactic antibiotics in the context of septorhinoplasty (SRP) is a frequently debated topic among plastic surgeons. Most surgeons routinely use antibiotics to prevent the dreaded physical and psychological morbidity of postoperative infections, although this practice is controversial. With antimicrobial resistance becoming a global threat, however, optimizing antibiotic prescribing is essential.

A Quality Assessment of Online Patient Information Regarding Rhinoplasty.

There is a large demand for online patient information for patients considering rhinoplasty. While there are many resources available, the quality and content of the information provided are unknown. This study aimed to assess the quality of the most popular information available online, using the "Ensuring Quality Information for Patients" (EQIP) tool to evaluate the content, structure, and readability of patient information on websites.

The Difficult Neck Patient-Practical Management: A Personal Approach.

With increasing global trends in aesthetic surgery, the facial plastic surgeon will undoubtedly encounter a variety of patient types including those with more unfavorable underlying anatomy. The "difficult" neck represents a cohort of individuals that exhibit both anatomical and patient-related factors that may limit overall surgical improvement. Anatomical issues that contribute to the difficult neck include excessive fat ("heavy" neck), ptosis of deep structures, obtuse cervicomental angle, and abnormalities of the underlying skeletal framework, such as a low set hyoid and inadequate chin projection.

Routine Postoperative Management of Blepharoplasty: A Review of Current Evidence-Based Practice.

Advances in blepharoplasty have resulted in an improved understanding of preoperative risk factors, intraoperative hemostasis, and wound closure. This has reduced the risk of severe adverse events. The aim of this review is to determine the current evidence base for routine postblepharoplasty management.

120 Years of Dorsal Preservation in Rhinoplasty.

Dorsal preservation techniques in rhinoplasty are experiencing a renaissance in recent years. New techniques and modifications to existing techniques are being described at an intensifying pace. Dorsal preservation, however, is not a new concept and was first described over 120 years ago.

Perioperative Management of Nasal Septal Perforation: A Case Series and Review.

Nasal septal perforation is a prevalent pathology, and its successful treatment remains a significant challenge. Surgical closure is complex, and there are a plethora of accounts of various surgical techniques within the existing literature. Much less has been written about perioperative considerations, which are arguably just as important.

The use of robotics in otolaryngology-head and neck surgery: a systematic review.

Background: Robotic surgery has become increasingly used due to its enhancement of visualization, precision, and articulation. It eliminates many of the problems encountered with conventional minimally invasive techniques and has been shown to result in reduced blood loss and complications. The rise in endoscopic procedures in otolaryngology-head and neck surgery, and associated difficulties, suggests that robotic surgery may have a role to play.

Canalicular adenoma: a case report of an unusual parotid lesion.

The present report describes a case of an 85-year-old woman who underwent an excisional biopsy of a preauricular lesion centred over the zygoma and subsequently developed an immediate iatrogenic facial palsy. Histopathological diagnosis revealed a canalicular adenoma of the parotid gland.

Bilateral submandibular duct relocation for drooling: an evaluation of results for the Birmingham Children's Hospital.

Drooling is a problem of the neurologically impaired that often leads to stigmatisation and social isolation. Bilateral submandibular duct relocation (BSMDR) is a surgical procedure that may be used to control troublesome drooling. The aim of this study was to assess the results following surgery and attempt to identify those factors that would mitigate against a successful outcome.

Dermoid cyst of the infratemporal fossa.

Dermoid cysts are rare benign tumours, they represent the simplest form of teratoma. Approximately seven per cent affect the head and neck region, within this region they are frequently encountered in the area of the lateral eyebrow, the orbit and the nose. A case of a 17-year-old girl who developed a rapidly growing facial swelling due to an infratemporal fossa dermoid cyst is presented.

Updating concepts of first branchial cleft defects: a literature review.

Objective: The Sinuses and fistulae of first branchial cleft origin have been widely reported in the literature and their variable relationship to the facial nerve has been described. Most published series however are too small to allow a detailed analysis of the relative frequency of various relationships of these lesions to the facial nerve and therefore enabling the determination of risks to the nerve at surgery. The aim of this study was to perform a comprehensive review of literature in an attempt to identify those patients with a deep tract (lying deep to the main trunk of the facial nerve and/or its branches, and/or between the branches) and to recognize the incidence of the complications of surgical management.
