Loss to follow-up is inevitable in retrospective cohort studies, and patients are lost to follow-up after direct-to-implant reconstruction despite annual follow-up recommendation. We analyzed more than 500 patients to analyze the rate of lo…

[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture is a well-known etiology in the primary stiff shoulder; thus capsular contracture and resultant decreased joint volume could lead to postoperative stiffness, which is a commonly reported morbidity after art…

 Contact granulomas (CGs) and intubation granulomas (IGs) are known to have different clinical manifestations despite having the same pathological features.  The purpose of the present study was to analyze the treatment results for CG and …

Botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) injection is a commonly used therapeutic intervention for upper limb spasticity in stroke patients. This study was designed as a randomized, active-drug-controlled, double-blind, multicenter, phase 3 clinical …

Laser lipolysis may be considered for selective removal of excess orbital fat via minimally invasive lower blepharoplasty. To control the energy delivery to a precise anatomic location while avoiding complications, ultrasound guidance can b…

[BACKGROUND] Botulinum toxin type A injection is widely used treatment option for the treatment of upper limb spasticity in stroke patients. The purpose of this study was to explore the safety and efficacy of MT10107, a new botulinum toxin …

[BACKGROUND] With severe vascular calcifications, vascular clamp application and utilizing the vessel for free flap recipient vessel becomes impossible. These obstacles can be overcome with the Fogarty catheter and vein graft. [PATIENTS AN…

We aimed to evaluate muscle mass changes after injection of botulinum toxin (BoNT) in children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy (CP). Children aged between 2 and 12 years who were diagnosed with hemiplegic CP with spastic equinus foot…

[BACKGROUND] Vascularized composite tissue allotransplantation (VCA) opens new possibilities for reconstruction of complex tissue defects, including upper extremity and facial transplantation. The main challenges in VCA transplantation are …

[OBJECTIVE] To compare the efficacy and safety of MT10107 (Coretox) with those of onabotulinum toxin A (Botox) in patients with poststroke upper limb spasticity DESIGN: Prospective, randomized, double-blind, active drug-controlled, multicen…

[INTRODUCTION] Stroke often causes residual hemiparesis, and upper extremity motor impairment is usually more disabling than lower extremity in those who are suffering from post-stroke hemiparesis. Cell therapy is one of the promising thera…

As the storage time of the fat tissue passes by, lipid peroxidation and creation of by-products may take place. The objective of this study was to evaluate the cell viability and functional changes of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) in t…

Myofascial pain syndrome is a common painful condition encountered in the general population. Previous studies evaluating the efficacy of botulinum toxin for the treatment of myofascial pain syndrome are limited, with variable results. This…

[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture is an incurable complication after silicone-based implant surgery. Myofibroblast is the predominant cell in the contracted capsule. We hypothesized that human adipose derive stromal cells (hASCs) together w…

[IMPROTANCE] Correction of caudal septal deviation with a batten graft has been popularized recently. However, few reports have documented the surgical outcomes of this technique, especially the use of bony batten grafts in septoplasty. [O…

Dystonia has a wide range of causes, but treatment of dystonia is limited to minimizing the symptoms as there is yet no successful treatment for its cause. One of the optimal treatment methods for dystonia is chemodenervation using botulinu…

[BACKGROUND] A serious drawback of the deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap is an abdominal scar that is too high. Because the umbilicus should be incorporated into the flap territory, lowering the scar is very difficult. This re…

Revision rhinoplasty in Asian patients is associated with problems related to the use of grafts or implant materials. Moreover, the septal cartilage of Asian individuals is generally weak and small, which makes it particularly vulnerable to…

[UNLABELLED] Blindness is a rare but devastating complication of cosmetic filler injection. A primary cause of blindness following hyaluronic acid filler injection is retrograde intravascular embolization into the small ocular arteries. We …

The authors previously reported that cultured human fibroblasts suspended in a hyaluronic acid filler can produce human dermal matrices with extended in vivo stability in animal and clinical studies. The present study was undertaken to dete…

[OBJECTIVES] The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of retroauricular hair line incision (RAHI) in partial superficial parotidectomy by comparison with modified Blair incision or facelift incision. [METHODS] Medical recor…

Inverted nipple, which is defined as a nipple located on a plane lower than the areola, presents both functional and cosmetic problems. It is a source of repeated irritation and inflammation, and interferes with nursing. In addition, its ab…
