[BACKGROUND] There are many different autologous grafts used for lip augmentation, such as fat, fascia, or dermofat grafts (DFG). However, filling with synthetic materials such as hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers is the most preferred method. …

[BACKGROUND/AIM] Herein, we describe a new technique to obtain both the appropriate degree of rotation angle and the ideal nasal bridge length. The aim of this study is to investigate the long-term results of this new technique with regard …

There are several factors affecting the results of rhinoplasty, and the predictability of outcomes still remains insufficient. To associate the rhinoplasty results with patients' age by anthropometric measurements. Retrospective chart rev…

[BACKGROUND] Correction of asymmetry and irregularity deformities with autologous grafts, without osteotomies, offers advantages to both plastic surgeons and patients with severe deviation. Various autologous tissues such as fat, bone, and …

Reconstruction of soft tissue defects in the lower extremity due to different etiologies can be a challenging process for surgeons. Compelling reasons for reconstruction include the anatomy of the lower extremity, limited mobility of soft t…

[BACKGROUND] In general, capsular contracture is the underlying cause of complications such as pain, stiffening, breast asymmetry, and animation deformity that are seen in the late postoperative period due to the use of silicone breast pros…

[BACKGROUND] Botulinum toxin has long been known for its paralytic effects at the neuromuscular junction. Although it has been widely used for vascular and nervous tissues, there has been no study of the aesthetic effects of the application…

[BACKGROUND] Ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL) has been previously used for postoperative flap thinning. Although it had been reported that UAL causes less damage to the vessels, the simultaneous use of UAL with free flap reconstruction…

We aimed to determine the effect of aspiration periods following liposuction procedure on vascular structures, fibrocollagenous tissues and viability of adipose cells at different minutes, respectively in UAL and SAL. Abdominoplasty materia…

[BACKGROUND] The aim of this study was to compare the techniques used for resection of the long side of the base and the top of the bone based on the patient's perspective, surgeon's approach, aesthetic results, complications, and need for …

[BACKGROUND] Various pedicle techniques have been described in breast reduction surgery. However, in cases of massive hypertrophy, the free nipple graft technique is still being performed by some surgeons out of fear of losing the nipple-ar…

[BACKGROUND] Proper nipple-areolar complex position in reduction mammoplasty patients is a challenging problem regardless of the preferred technique. Postoperatively, the nipple-areolar complex is often not located at the most projected are…

[BACKGROUND] Both patients and physicians desire minimal scarring after surgical procedures. The removal of foreign bodies from around the wound, prevention of infection, and wound closure without tension is recommended for reducing scarrin…

[BACKGROUND] Anterior septal height is an important determinant of nasal tip projection. Accordingly, the anterior septal extension technique has proven itself to be a powerful tool for achieving long-lasting nasal tip projection in rhinopl…
