Bipolar fractionated radiofrequency midface lift: A retrospective review.

Introduction: Midface rejuvenation is an important component of overall facial rejuvenation. Traditionally, midfacial skin laxity and volume loss have been addressed with surgical midfacial lifting and soft tissue augmentation with dermal fillers. We present a novel noninvasive approach to midface rejuvenation with a bipolar fractionated radiofrequency (FRF) device that addresses both volume loss and improves skin laxity.

A Pilot Study Evaluation of 3-Dimensional Imaging in Cosmetic Breast Augmentation: Results of a Single Surgeon 3.5-Year Retrospective Study Using the BREAST-Q Questionnaire.

Background: Traditional methods of breast implant size selection provide limited ability to demonstrate postoperative outcomes. Three-dimensional (3D) imaging provides an opportunity for improved patient evaluation, surgical planning, and evaluation of postoperative breast appearance.

Objectives: The authors hypothesized that preoperative 3D imaging for patients undergoing breast augmentation would improve patient satisfaction and understanding of expected surgical outcomes.

Perioral volumization using a temperature controlled fractionated radiofrequency device.

Background And Aims: Cosmetic rejuvenation of the perioral area can be challenging due to a mix of skin laxity and volumetric loss. Current techniques including fillers, neurotoxins, and non-ablative and ablative resurfacing have several drawbacks and can create a stiff, box-shaped, unnatural appearance. Aside from filler, these techniques do not address deeper volume deficiency.

Generalized essential telangiectasia treated with PDL.

Generalized essential telangiectasia (GET) is a rare, clinically benign condition but a source of cosmetic concern for affected patients. There is a dearth of publications and known treatment options for GET. This case report reviews the clinical course of a 54-year-old woman who presented with a long-standing history of telangiectatic patches on her dorsal feet and ankles with progressive spread to the lower extremities consistent with GET.
