Aesthetic Outcomes of the Adipofascial Turnover Flap for Nasal Defects.

Unlabelled: The single-stage adipofascial turnover (AFT) flap with full-thickness skin grafting is a novel technique that has been demonstrated as a safe, reliable, and cost-effective alternative to forehead flaps for nasal tip reconstruction. The purpose of this study was to compare aesthetic outcomes of these reconstructive techniques.

Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of patients who underwent either a forehead flap or an AFT flap for nasal reconstruction between January 2016 and January 2021.

Challenges in Breast Evaluation: Breast Asymmetry, Macromastia, and the Surgically Altered Breast.

Many breast conditions that warrant referral to a plastic surgeon may first be identified in a routine gynecologic or primary care setting. These range from asymmetric anomalies and macromastia to sequelae of previous aesthetic and reconstructive procedures. The purpose of this reference article is to provide an overview of common breast deformities and discuss their unique challenges in evaluation.
