Prospective Clinical Trial Evaluating the Outcomes Associated with the Use of Fresh Frozen Allograft Cartilage in Rhinoplasty.

Background: There are different types of grafts for rhinoplasty, each with certain advantages and disadvantages. Fresh frozen cadaveric costal allograft (CCA) provides an alternative to rhinoplasties. The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes of fresh frozen CCA and traditional autologous costal cartilage in cosmetic and reconstructive rhinoplasty procedures.

Global Plastic Surgery: A Review of the Field and a Call for Virtual Training in Low- and Middle-Income Countries.

Lack of surgical access severely harms countless populations in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Many types of surgery could be fulfilled by the plastic surgeon, as populations in these areas often experience trauma, burns, cleft lip and palate, and other relevant medical issues. Plastic surgeons continue to contribute significant time and energy to global health, primarily by participating in short mission trips intended to provide many surgeries in a short time frame.

The Utilization of Fresh Frozen Cartilage in Asian Rhinoplasty: A New Approach.

Asian rhinoplasty generally requires augmentation procedures rather than reduction. Alloplastic grafts are fraught with higher complication rates. Autologous cartilage grafts are safer.

Injectable allograft adipose matrices in the management of chronic and postoperative wounds: a retrospective analysis.

Introduction: Clinical options are lacking for the management of chronic wounds or ulcers following failed debridement, skin grafting, or negative pressure wound therapy dressings.

Objective: This retrospective case series evaluated the efficacy of injectable AAM in the management and closure of chronic wounds.

Materials And Methods: Patients with nonhealing wounds of any etiology, anatomic location, and length of chronicity were included; those with multiple chronic wounds or prior skin grafting for wound repair were excluded.

Evaluation of Altrazeal transforming powder dressing on stage 2-4 pressure ulcers: a clinical case series.

Objective: Pressure ulcers (PUs) are hard-to-heal, open wounds that affect millions of adults worldwide. Patients experience physical, mental, social and financial impairment. On average, <50% of stage 3 and 4 PUs heal by the sixth month.

The Racial Representation of Cosmetic Surgery Patients and Physicians on Social Media.

Background: Aggregated data show that Black patients undergo disproportionately lower rates of cosmetic surgery than their Caucasian counterparts. Similarly, laboratory findings indicate that social media representation is lower among Black patients for breast reconstruction surgery, and it is expected that this could be the case in cosmetic surgery as well.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore the social media representation of Black patients and physicians in the 5 most common cosmetic surgery procedures: rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, abdominoplasty, breast augmentation, and liposuction.
