Hyamax® Monophasic Volumizer Dermal Fillers for Chin Restoration: A Prospective, Single-Center, Investigator-Blinded, Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Hyamax® Monophasic Volumizer Dermal Fillers is a newly designed hyaluronic acid soft tissue filler for chin augmentation.

Methods: A prospective, single-center, evaluator-blinded, randomized controlled study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Hyamax® Volumizer in the correction of chin retrusion in the 18-55-year-old Chinese population for 12 months after treatment. Participants were randomized (3:1) to receive Hyamax® Volumizer injection (n = 21) or no treatment (n = 7).

Breast Modular Resection (BMR) in Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy (NSM) With Intraoperative Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging (LSCI) Monitoring Improved Surgical Training Outcome Among Fellows.

Background: Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) and skin-sparing mastectomy (SSM) are challenging for surgical training among fellow trainees. We developed a surgical training course with novel concept of breast modular resection (BMR) for NSM/SSM procedure, and performed this study to investigate whether BMR could improve surgical outcomes compared to classical procedure resection (CPR).

Methods: The records of 105 breast cancer patients undergoing NSM/SSM with immediate reconstruction performed by fellow trainees were reviewed.

Noninvasive Real-Time Assessment of Nipple-Areola Complex Perfusion Using Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging in Direct-to-Implant Breast Reconstruction.

Background: Nipple-areola complex (NAC) necrosis is a major complication for breast reconstruction after nipple-sparing mastectomy. Although intraoperative indocyanine green angiography helps to assess the viability of tissue, the imaging could be conservative which may lead to aggressive resection. The plastic surgeons are eager to know the perfusion changes of NAC throughout the perioperative period.

Brow Position Change and its Potential Risk Factors Following Upper Blepharoplasty: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Eyebrow position affects human facial expression and aesthetic appearance. However, upper-eyelid surgeries may cause brow position changes and affect the function and aesthetics of the eyebrow. The purpose of this review was to assess the influence of upper-eyelid surgeries on brow position and morphology.

Post-mastectomy adjuvant radiotherapy for direct-to-implant and two-stage implant-based breast reconstruction: A meta-analysis.

Background: In recent years, immediate replacement with a prosthesis (direct-to-implant, DTI) is gaining more popularity than two-staged methods (tissue expander followed by an implant, TEI). The safety of immediate implant-based breast reconstruction (IBR) is debatable when postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) is indicated. This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the outcomes of DTI and TEI procedures followed by PMRT.

Adipose-Derived Stem Cells for the Treatment of Diabetic Wound: From Basic Study to Clinical Application.

Diabetic wounds significantly affect the life quality of patients and may cause amputation and mortality if poorly managed. Recently, a wide range of cell-based methods has emerged as novel therapeutic methods in treating diabetic wounds. Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) are considered to have the potential for widespread clinical application of diabetic wounds treatment in the future.

Tarsus-Orbicularis-Septum Fixation in Double-Eyelid Blepharoplasty: A Reliable and Flexible Technique.

Purpose: Incisional double eyelid blepharoplasty is the most common cosmetic operation in East Asia. Although numerous articles on surgical techniques have been published, complications, such as fold loss, asymmetry, and visible scars, still exist. To create a stable and dynamic double-eyelid crease, the author has introduced a modified technique of double-eyelid blepharoplasty.

Repigmentation of nipple-areola complex after ReCell® treatment on breast vitiligo.

Background: Nipple-areola complex is a naturally hyperpigmented skin area which can be involved in vitiligo. But limited study focused on the treatment of nipple-areola complex vitiligo, and few methods were proven to be effective. In this study, we aimed to explore the feasibility and efficacy of ReCell® on vitiligo in the nipple-areola complex area.

Murine models of rosacea: a review.

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by facial flushing, erythema, telangiectasia, papules, and pustules. Its pathogenesis has not been fully understood. In 2017, the global ROSacea COnsensus (ROSCO) panel updated the diagnosis, classification, and assessment of rosacea.
