Inframammary Flap Excision Method in Breast Augmentation: Improving Symmetry of NAC and IMF.

Background: When we perform a breast augmentation through the inframammary fold (IMF) approach, incision placement at the new IMF is a key element of the planning process. In the majority of the previously published methods, the new IMF was planned based on the nipple-areola complex (NAC) position. However, these methods can lead to asymmetry in the IMF if the NAC is not symmetrical.

Rhinogenic Headache: Standardization of Terminologies Used for Headaches Arising From Problems in the Nose and Nasal Cavity.

Objective: The use of different expressions between physicians frequently results in confusion in the process of diagnosis and treatment of patients with headaches due to problems in the nose and nasal cavity. The aim of this study was to assess the terminologies that have been used most frequently to standardize these terminologies.

Methods: Terminologies that are most frequently used in general, including rhinogenic migraine, sinus headache, rhinogenic contact point headache, middle turbinate headache syndrome, and rhinogenic headache, were found by searching PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar.

Aesthetic Correction of a Protrusive Forehead through Repositioning of the Anterior Wall of the Frontal Sinus.

Facial skeletal remodeling was revolutionized more than 30 years ago, by the work of Tessier and other craniofacial surgeons. However, the need to correct the skeleton in the upper third of the face is not frequently diagnosed or treated in aesthetic facial surgery. Here, we report on the aesthetic correction of a protrusive forehead.

Consideration of bone regeneration effect of stem cells: comparison of bone regeneration between bone marrow stem cells and adipose-derived stem cells.

Background: Much controversy exists as to how stem cells efficiently differentiate and regenerate. To research how stem cell origin affects optimal differentiation and regeneration, the authors collected stem cells from bone marrow and fat and compared amounts of bone regeneration from both groups of cells.

Methods: This study used 16 New Zealand white rabbits raised in similar surroundings and conditions.

Consideration of bone regeneration effect of stem cells: comparison between adipose-derived stem cells and demineralized bone matrix.

Background: Currently, many studies have sought to address the regeneration of extensive bone defects using stem cells. Here, the authors injected adipose-derived stem cells and demineralized bone matrix (DBM) into areas of bone defect in rabbits and compared their effect on bone regeneration to study the clinical usefulness of stem cells.

Methods: This study used 20 male New Zealand white rabbits.
