This article provides a comprehensive review and strong reference for facial and neck anatomy. An anatomic foundation is built for the dermatologic concepts, techniques, procedures, and surgeries detailed in noninvasive skin treatments. Superficial anatomic landmarks have been established that allow for more nuanced navigation and measurement of facial features. Throughout this article, we discuss key anatomic features of the face and neck, compare dermal thickness in various regions and ethnic anatomic differences, review insertion points of retaining ligaments of the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, and detail diagnostic tools including ultrasound and optical coherence tomography analysis of the skin.

Melanoma is an aggressive tumor that is challenging to treat. Talimogene laherparepvec (T-VEC), the first oncolytic virus treatment approved by the US Food and Drug Administration to treat unresectable melanoma, was recently used in recurrent tumors after initial surgery. Our network meta-analysis aimed to compare T-VEC treatment of metastatic melanoma with treatment of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and control group.

Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, Campus Bio-Medico University Hospital, Rome, Italy.
Background: Evidence-based medicine and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are helpful tools in the wound care field, but few studies correlating quality of life (QoL) changes with objective changes exist.
Objective: To investigate the QoL changes following the shift from primary dressings alone to elastic compression bandages in patients with a new diagnosis of vascular skin ulcer, and to evaluate a possible correlation between objective and subjective changes.
Materials And Methods: This study included 122 patients with a new diagnosis of vascular skin ulcer, who had previously used only primary dressings alone.

Dermatology Unit, IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna, Bologna, Italy; Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences, Alma Mater Studiorum University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy.
Background: Caustic substances can inflict severe damage on tissues upon contact. Knowledge about skin damage caused by sodium hypochlorite is quite limited, with only a few reports available in the literature.
Case Report: A 79-year-old female with severe cognitive decline presented with multiple skin ulcerations that were covered by a blackish-greyish eschar and surrounded by a purple erythematous halo.

Introduction: Thread lifting procedures are becoming increasingly popular for facial rejuvenation. However, various complications can arise during these procedures, many of which are influenced by anatomic factors.
Methods: In this section, the authors explore the potential side effects associated with thread lifting and emphasize the anatomic structures that require careful attention.
Superstable lipid vacuoles endow cartilage with its shape and biomechanics.

Conventionally, the size, shape, and biomechanics of cartilages are determined by their voluminous extracellular matrix. By contrast, we found that multiple murine cartilages consist of lipid-filled cells called lipochondrocytes. Despite resembling adipocytes, lipochondrocytes were molecularly distinct and produced lipids exclusively through de novo lipogenesis.
