Background: Primary fit tracheoesophageal puncture (TEP) is widely preferred for individuals who have not undergone prior radiation. However, there is no consensus on the relative utility of primary-fit TEP in the setting of salvage laryngectomy.
Methods: A retrospective, single-center review was conducted of individuals undergoing laryngectomy with primary fit TEP between 2012 and 2018.
Background: As lip enhancement with fillers has grown in popularity, practitioners have sought to identify injection methods that achieve aesthetically pleasing results while avoiding adverse events such as arterial injury due to intravascular injection.
Objectives: The primary objective of this study was to establish a safe injection technique for creating appealing, proportionate, and aesthetically pleasing lips while elevating the lip corners with filler.
Methods: Before injection, the locations of the superior and inferior labial arteries were established by sonography and a 9-point injection technique (9-PIT) was devised to reliably achieve fashionable lips.
