Nonsurgical Rhinoplasty in Patients of African Descent: A Retrospective Review.

Background: There is a paucity of research on nonsurgical rhinoplasty in the population of African descent. In this group, underlying anatomy and aesthetic ideals vary, necessitating differences in the consultation process and in treatment. The authors present a case series from a single clinician's practice performing nonsurgical rhinoplasty on patients of African descent.

Consensus Recommendations on the Use of Hyaluronic Acid-Based Fillers for Nonsurgical Nasal Augmentation in Asian Patients.

Background: Nonsurgical nasal augmentation using dermal fillers such as hyaluronic acid is increasing in popularity because of its less invasive nature and shorter downtime compared with traditional surgery. However, the complexity of the nasal vasculature makes it a high-risk procedure without proper training. Appropriate patient and product selection and safer standardized injection techniques are warranted to minimize complications and to achieve reproducible aesthetic results.

The Nonsurgical Rhinoplasty: A Retrospective Review of 5000 Treatments.

Background: Nonsurgical rhinoplasty with injectable dermal fillers has become an increasingly popular alternative to surgical procedures, in view of its relative low cost, convenience and rapid recovery, and low risk profile. The safety and efficacy of nonsurgical rhinoplasty remains a relatively contentious and ambiguous matter, given that there are few large-scale series reporting results or complications. This study reports the experience of a single clinician performing nonsurgical rhinoplasty in the largest cohort to date.

Pelvic and buttock hypoplasia reconstructed with anatomical breast implants.

Radiation therapy is used in the management of a number of childhood cancers and can have significant effects on skeletal growth. We present the case of a 35-year-old woman who developed a hypoplastic pelvis and buttocks following radiotherapy for rhabdomyosarcoma of the vagina at the age of 2. At the age of 25, the patient underwent bilateral buttock augmentation with a two-stage reconstruction using tissue expansion followed by definitive augmentation with anatomical breast implant insertion.

Training in bilateral breast reduction and breast augmentation: the results of a supra-regional audit.

Introduction: Bilateral breast reduction (BBR) and bilateral breast augmentation (BBA) represent ideal training procedures. This study prospectively audited BBR and BBA training opportunities at six plastic surgery units.

Methods: Operative numbers and training opportunities were audited at 6 plastic surgical units in the south west region.

A case of fulminant portal pyemia complicating hemicolectomy for polyps: literature review and case report.

Introduction: Portal pyaemia is a rare phenomenon that can complicate a variety of pathologies and surgical procedures. It has a predilection for elderly and immunocompromised patients.

Discussion: We present a review of the related literature and report an exceptional case of fulminant portal pyaemia, with an atypical presentation in a patient with few typical risk factors, complicating an elective surgical procedure for benign disease.

Primary omental mesothelioma: a rare but important differential diagnosis in previous asbestos exposure.

Primary omental mesothelioma is a malignant tumour of the mesothelial cells of the omentum, related to asbestos exposure. It is an extremely rare condition that presents both diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. We present a review of the related literature and report on a fatal case of primary omental mesothelioma in a 70 year old man, presenting with a painful abdominal mass.
