Article Synopsis
- This study compares two lip augmentation techniques: the surgical V-Y method and autogenous micro-fat injections, focusing on patient satisfaction measured by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS).
- Conducted on 40 female patients, results showed that 1 month post-treatment, the micro-fat injection group reported significantly higher satisfaction, while the V-Y surgical group had better satisfaction after 6 months.
- The findings suggest that while micro-fat injections provide quick satisfaction, the V-Y surgical technique might offer better long-term results for lip augmentation.
Background: Caregivers face various difficulties that put a huge burden on them, especially when dealing with immobilized elderly patients. This study aimed to compare caregivers' burdens and coping mechanisms during the care of immobilized elderly patients.
Materials And Methods: The descriptive comparative design was adopted for this study in Najran City, Saudi Arabia, and Damanhour City, Egypt, in 2022.
Objective: To evaluate a direct intra-abdominal approach to injection of the ventral transversus abdominis plane (TAP) and compare the dispersion of two volumes of injectate.
Study Design: Prospective anatomic and feasibility study.
Animals: A total of 10 canine cadavers weighing 9 ± 4 kg.
Background: A smile plays an important role in determining a person's initial impression.
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of both injection botulinum toxin type A (botox) and surgical lip repositioning in the correction of the gummy smile due to hyperactive upper lip according to the resulting smile and the patients' satisfaction.
Material And Methods: The study consisted of 24 patients: 12 received the BTX-A (botulinum toxin type-A) injection and the remaining 12 underwent the surgical procedure (lip repositioning).
Background: Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs) are widely researched diseases in medical literature. They are associated with many symptoms, such as pain, limited mouth opening and joint sounds, resulting in decreased quality of life for the patient. Both the hyaluronic acid (HA) injection and the plateletrich plasma (PRP) injection have a remarkable efficacy in the treatment of TMDs.
