Tranexamic acid (TXA) has the ability to reduce intraoperative bleeding and facilitate hemostasis in addition to its anti-inflammatory properties that can potentially aid in recovery among patients who underwent rhytidectomy. To compare po…

The purpose of this study was to evaluate epidemiologic characteristics and postoperative complications among nonbinary, transgender, and cisgender adults undergoing mastectomy or breast augmentation. Comparable postoperative complication r…

Facial feminization surgeries (FFS) aim to feminize facial features in transgender women and include frontal sinus setback, rhinoplasty, and genioplasty. FFS may be performed with virtual surgical planning (VSP) to help generate reproducibl…

[OBJECTIVE] This study aims to investigate the patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and complications of distinct implant-based breast reconstruction modality for patients with postmastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT). [METHODS] A retrospective…

[BACKGROUND] Radial forearm free flap phalloplasty (RFFF) is a set of complex reconstructive procedures aimed at creating an aesthetic and functional penis in transgender patients. Sensory recovery in the neophallus and donor site is crucia…

[BACKGROUND] Infant botulism is caused by botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT), which is mainly produced by . However, there is a lack of longitudinal cohort studies on infant botulism. Herein, we have constructed a cross-sectional and longitudinal …

Botulinum toxin is a protein toxin secreted by Clostridium botulinum that is strongly neurotoxic. Due to its characteristics of being super toxic, quick acting, and difficult to prevent, the currently reported antiviral studies focusing on …

[INTRODUCTION] Research in gender-affirming chest surgery has primarily compared cisgender versus transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) people, without specifically addressing nonbinary people. This study will assess surgical complications b…

The aging process of lower eyelids results in lower eyelid wrinkles, tear troughs, and eye bags. Many therapies have been described for treatment of lower eyelid aging, and transcutaneous blepharoplasty is often used for treating cases with…

[OBJECTIVE] Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is the most common cause of drug-resistant epilepsy and can be treated surgically to control seizures. In this study, we analyzed the relevant research literature in the field of temporal lobe epilep…

Ear deformities after rhytidectomy are not uncommon and have a significant impact on cosmetic success. We postulate the use of horizontal mattress suspension sutures in the anterior face anchored to the deep temporalis fascia (DTF) during r…

[BACKGROUND] Academic advancement in plastic surgery necessitates creation of opportunities for rising faculty, which are pivotal for women in their efforts to close prominent gender gaps in higher ranks. We study positions of academic pres…

The aim of this study was to achieve accurate localization of the body surface position and depth of the center of the intramuscular nerve dense region (CINDR) of the pelvic floor muscles and to establish a target site for treating pelvic f…

Psychostimulants, such as methamphetamine (METH) can induce structural remodeling of synapses by remodeling presynaptic and postsynaptic morphology. Escalating or long-lasting high dose METH accounts for neurodegeneration by targeting multi…

Foodborne botulism is a rare but life-threatening illness resulting from the action of a potent toxin mainly produced by Clostridium botulinum. It grows in an oxygen-deficient environment and is extremely viable in meat and soy products, ma…

Over the past four decades, the senior author has evolved and perfected his preferred method for face and neck lifting, the extended superficial musculoaponeurotic system deep plane rhytidectomy, and submentoplasty. With this procedure, the…
