Background: Breast ptosis may occur with increasing age, after pregnancy, after breastfeeding, or after weight loss. Understanding the vascular structure of the breast and nipple-areolar complex has guided the reshaping of the breast and thus paved the way for the emergence of different techniques. This study aimed to evaluate the results of tunneled glandular flaps used to increase projection in patients undergoing breast lift surgery.

Background:  Over the years, different techniques have been developed to reduce the number of incisions and scars in subnasal lip lifting and to increase the amount of lifting. The aim of this study was to present a new technique to hide the scars at the nasal base in subnasal lip lifting procedures and to review the literature.

Methods:  The file of patients who underwent subnasal lip lifting between January 2019 and January 2021 were examined.

Background: The internal nasal valve is one of the highly important anatomical points in rhinoplasty procedures. As a key anatomical area, the anatomical and functional integrity of this region must be preserved or reconstructed during rhinoplasty procedures. Several techniques have been defined in the literature for midvault restoration, among which, the most common are spreader grafts and flaps.

Oxidative stress secondary to ischemia can cause physiopathologic changes that adversely affect wound healing. In this experimental study, we hypothesized that the topical use of esterified glutathione, a well-known antioxidant, can minimize the effects of oxidative stress by an increase in intracellular glutathione and accelerate wound healing by increasing the contraction capacity of fibroblasts and preventing keratinocytes from apoptosis in a rat ischemic wound model. Experimental models were divided into 3 groups as treatment, control, and healthy.

Background: With endoscopic forehead rejuvenation, most surgeons use at least two points of fixation for each eyebrow, often including some type of bone fixation, to achieve the aesthetic goal of lasting repositioning of the eyebrows and elimination of frown lines. In this prospective study, short-term and 1-year postoperative changes in the position of the eyebrows following extensive release of eyebrow-retaining ligaments and use of single-point fascial suture (without bone fixation) were objectively evaluated.

Methods: Front-view, life-size photographs of 48 patients undergoing endoscopic forehead surgery for treatment of migraine headaches were analyzed preoperatively and 1 and 12 months postoperatively.
