Background: Despite the high demand of filler in the infraorbital area, there remains debate on injection practices, precise anatomical placement, and hyaluronic acid (HA) filler behavior.
Objectives: We aimed to contribute to the clinical and anatomic understanding of infraorbital HA injection through a prospective patient injection study in combination with a cadaveric analysis.
Methods: Patients were injected with Volbella XC (JUVÉDERM, Allergan Aesthetics, an AbbVie Company, Irvine, CA) into the tear trough region by a single experienced aesthetic plastic surgeon.
Although the representation of women and ethnic minority students in the US medical schools has recently increased, discrepancies in representation among plastic surgery residents and faculty continue. The state of sex and ethnic diversity in academic microsurgery remains minimally investigated. We aimed to evaluate the sex, race, and ethnicity demographics among academic microsurgeons and identify underrepresentation along the leadership pathway.

Background: Few dedicated, funded clinical research fellowship positions exist in plastic surgery. This study provides insights from an established clinical research fellowship, highlighting its educational impact and confirming the impact of positive institutional support and a collaborative-first approach.
Methods: All research fellows within the program from 2008 to 2020 were examined during their year of employment and subsequent 2 years.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines the clinical outcomes of patients undergoing abdominoplasty with and without concurrent small ventral or umbilical hernia repair (HR) over a period from 2015 to 2022.
- Results show that there were no significant differences in complications, procedure length, or readmissions between patients who had HR and those who did not, suggesting that concurrent HR is safe.
- The conclusion indicates that performing HR during abdominoplasty can enhance aesthetic results without increasing risks, providing long-term benefits for abdominal wall integrity.
Marijuana and Its Implications in Breast Reduction Surgery Outcomes and Quality of Life: A Matched Analysis.
Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open
November 2024
Background: With marijuana use on the rise, its influence on surgical outcomes, particularly for breast reduction, warrants investigation. This study aims to clarify marijuana's effects on breast reduction surgery outcomes, given its limited research focus despite potential perioperative implications.
Methods: A retrospective review was conducted from 2016 to 2022 of patients with/without marijuana use undergoing breast reduction.
