Expert Roundtable on Skin Care Integration After Aesthetic Procedures: Consensus Recommendations.

Currently, available technologies and procedures enable aesthetic dermatologists to provide their patients with beneficial treatment outcomes for a wide variety of skin conditions. These treatments range from laser resurfacing and radiofrequency procedures to chemical peels and microneedling. The concept of integrated skincare is based on the application of adjunct therapies before, during, or after cosmetic medical procedures to promote healing, minimize discomfort, shorten down-time, and enhance overall aesthetic outcomes.

Trends in Demographic, Clinical, Socioeconomic, and Facility-Specific Factors Linked to Eyelid Melanoma Survival: A National Cancer Database Analysis.

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze demographic, clinical, socioeconomic, and facility-specific factors affecting the survival outcomes of patients diagnosed with eyelid melanoma (EM) between 2004 and 2017 using data from the National Cancer Database.

Methods: Cases of EM diagnosed between 2004 and 2017 were identified using the National Cancer Database. Patient demographic data, tumor stage (American Joint Committee on Cancer TNM classification), treatment modalities, and socioeconomic variables were collected.

Risk of Blindness From Temple Filler Injections: Investigating Vascular Anastomoses Between the Deep Temporal and Ophthalmic Arteries.

Purpose: Soft-tissue filler injections, particularly hyaluronic acid, are popular for temple volume restoration. Although uncommon, this area poses risk for vision loss from embolic occlusion. Guidelines recommend injecting into the supraperiosteal plane for safety; however, the deep temporal arteries (DTAs) in this plane pose a risk.

A Rare Case of Solitary Fibrous Tumor Involving the Nasolacrimal Duct System in a 12-Year-Old Female: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

We report the youngest case of solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) with extensive involvement of the nasolacrimal duct system and discuss current literature regarding this tumor type. A 12-year-old female presented with a 6-month history of an enlarging right medial orbit mass. CT orbits revealed a well-circumscribed, enhancing lesion adjacent to the right nasolacrimal system.

A Proposed Protocol for the Acute Management of Palpebro-Orbital Myiasis: Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Periocular and orbital myiasis are rare, vision-threatening conditions characterized by the infestation of dipterous fly larvae into periorbital and orbital tissues. While it has been primarily reported in tropical and subtropical regions where the climate is ideal for fly larval breeding, any patient with inadequate wound care regardless of geography may be predisposed. Infestations can progress rapidly over the course of several days with significant risk of life-threatening intracranial extension.

A.S.S.E.S.S. for Facial Fillers.

Background: An in-depth and detailed facial assessment is critical in treating and achieving desirable dermal filler and neurotoxin results.

Methods: An acronym called A.S.

Comparing the Ability of Google and ChatGPT to Accurately Respond to Oculoplastics-Related Patient Questions and Generate Customized Oculoplastics Patient Education Materials.

Purpose: To compare the accuracy and readability of responses to oculoplastics patient questions provided by Google and ChatGPT. Additionally, to assess the ability of ChatGPT to create customized patient education materials.

Methods: We executed a Google search to identify the 3 most frequently asked patient questions (FAQs) related to 10 oculoplastics conditions.

Nontraumatic orbital hematoma secondary to labor and childbirth: a case report and review of the literature.

Purpose: Non-traumatic orbital hemorrhage without underlying vascular malformations or predisposing conditions is uncommon, and particularly rare in the context of maternal labor. This study combines a novel case report and retrospective review to analyze reported cases and propose insights.

Methods: This study is both a unique case report and literature review examining PubMed publications with articles traced back to original sources through citations for inclusion.

Response of 21 Hyaluronic Acid Fillers to Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase.

Background: One benefit of hyaluronic acid fillers is the ability to dissolve them using hyaluronidase. With the increasing number of fillers entering the market, it is crucial to understand each of these fillers' responsiveness to hyaluronidase.

Methods: Twenty-one hyaluronic acid fillers of 0.

An Experimental Model Exhibiting Anterograde and Retrograde Vascular Occlusion of Facial Fillers to Avoid Vision Loss.

Background: Facial filler injection techniques that help decrease the risk of vascular occlusion are an important growing area of study. This study demonstrates a model of injecting fillers into a simulated bifurcated arterial system, using different sized needle gauges at a constant injection pressure.

Methods: Three facial fillers were injected into a bifurcated intravenous tubing with continuous irrigation at a constant pressure to simulate a vascular system.

Infraorbital Hollow Rejuvenation: Considerations, Complications, and the Contributions of Midface Volumization.

Infraorbital hollows are one of the most common target areas for facial aesthetic treatment; however, they are often perceived to be challenging to treat due to the complex anatomy of the periorbital area, concurrent deformities, and risk of complications. Treatment options include surgical (eg, lower eyelid blepharoplasty with fat transposition or injections) and nonsurgical approaches (eg, fillers). Among these approaches, filler injections have become common practice because they are minimally invasive and provide long-term patient satisfaction.

Facial Recognition Pattern before and after Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty: An Eye Tracking Analysis.

This study investigated eye movement patterns using eye tracking technology when looking at preoperative and postoperative images of patients that underwent bilateral periorbital cosmetic surgery. The sequence of facial recognition before surgery was periorbital-nose-perioral, whereas following surgery it was nose-periorbital-perioral. This study revealed that the sequence of facial feature recognition is influenced by the aesthetic liking of the observer and that alteration to facial features influences the sequence of facial feature recognition.

Anatomic Differences Between the Asian and Caucasian Nose and Their Implications for Liquid Rhinoplasties.

The demand for surgical and nonsurgical esthetic procedures in the nasal region has increased sharply in the past. Anatomic differences of the nose between different ethnicities need to be investigated thoroughly. The objective of this article is to analyze and compare morphometric features of the nose in a mixed Asian-Caucasian study population.

Accuracy Assessment of Three-Dimensional Surface Imaging-Based Distance Measurements of the Face: Comparison of a Handheld Facial Scanner and a Stationary Whole-Body Surface Imaging Device.

Three-dimensional surface imaging (3DSI) has been shown to be a useful tool for plastic surgeons in the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative setting. The objective of this investigation was to compare the accuracy of facial surface distance measurements using both a handheld facial 3DSI device and a stationary whole-body 3DSI device. Users should be aware of deviations when obtaining 3DSI using the presented imaging devices but should not refrain from using them, as the absolute differences might be too small to play a role in both, clinical and research, settings.

Quantifying Skin Removal During a Face-lift: Does the Approach Matter?

Background: The purpose of this study was to measure the amount of skin removed around the ears during a face-lift procedure. The secondary metric assessed skin removal comparing different face-lift techniques of SMASectomy versus deep plane approach and lastly comparing with and without midline corset platysmaplasty (MCP).

Methods: One hundred fifty consecutive face-lift patients were measured for skin removal at 3 cardinal locations in the postauricular, preauricular, and temple regions.

Comparing Water Absorption of Food and Drug Administration-Approved Hyaluronic Acid Fillers.

Background: To compare the water absorption of 12 FDA-approved hyaluronic acid (HA) facial fillers in vitro in conditions relevant to in vivo injection.

Objective: The goal of this study was to provide long-term insight into an improved, tailored facial rejuvenation approach and to understand sequelae that could affect preoperative surgical planning.

Methods: In 2 experiments, 12 FDA-approved HA fillers were loaded into test tubes with nonpreserved normal saline and then placed in a 94.
