Simultaneous Robot-assisted Lipoabdominoplasty and Cholecystectomy.

In the current era of advanced technologies, robotic surgery is rapidly evolving. New articles are emerging on the use of robots in general surgery, urology, and oncology, with single cases in maxillofacial surgery. In this article, we describe the successful use of robotic techniques for simultaneously performing suturing repair of the diastasis of the rectus abdominis muscles, aesthetic correction of the anterior abdominal wall with lipoabdominoplasty, and cholecystectomy.

Isolated Medial Platysmaplasty and Harmonization of the Lower Third of Face with Local Fat Autograft: A Case Report.

One of the most common complaints of patients seeking plastic surgery is the presence of age-related changes in the lower third of the face. These often include vertical platysmal bands, a double chin, Venus rings, the absence of the cervico-mental angle, hypertonicity of the muscles in the mental area, and insufficient projection of the chin. The development and implementation of less-traumatic methods of correction of the lower third of the face and harmonization of the projection of the cervico-mental region remain relevant.

Cone-Beam Computed Tomography for Objective Diagnosis of Age-Related Soft Tissue Changes in Lower Face and Neck.

Background: An objective assessment of the causes of age-related contour deformities of the soft tissues of the face and neck is very important in esthetic surgery, especially as minimally invasive techniques gain increasing popularity.

Methods: To visualize the tissues that cause age-related soft tissue changes, we performed cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in 37 patients who underwent facial and neck rejuvenation procedures in 2021-2022.

Results: Vertical CBCT enabled visualization of the causes and degree of tissue involvement in age-related changes in the lower third of the face and neck.
