[BACKGROUND] Ptosis, the drooping of the upper eyelid caused by levator palpebrae superioris muscle dysfunction, is a common condition that can impair vision and quality of life. It can arise independently or as a secondary condition to dis…

[OBJECTIVES] PIK3CA-Related Overgrowth Spectrum (PROS) is a highly heterogeneous disease. Facial Infiltrating Lipomatosis (FIL) is a rare PROS subset, and its atypical phenotypes, such as macrotia, present diagnostic and therapeutic challen…

[BACKGROUND] Disregarding the influence of Hering's law of equal innervation, which dictates conjugate movement of the eyelids during saccadic eye movements, in blepharoptosis correction leads to unsatisfactory surgical outcomes. The author…

Apical microsurgery is accurate and minimally invasive, produces few complications, and has a success rate of more than 90%. However, due to the lack of awareness and understanding of apical microsurgery by dental general practitioners and …

Intentional tooth replantation (ITR) is an advanced treatment modality and the procedure of last resort for preserving teeth with inaccessible endodontic or resorptive lesions. ITR is defined as the deliberate extraction of a tooth; evaluat…

Endothelial cells play a critical role in the pathophysiology of ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). Although previous studies have shown that IRI can activate PANoptosis, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Our research investigates h…

The zygomatic implant perforated (ZIP) flap is an alternative to the fibular free flap (FFF) for maxillary reconstruction with dental rehabilitation. The aim of this study was to compare facial contour and patient-reported outcomes in match…

[INTRODUCTION] Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) has gained prominence as an injectable dermal filler as it can both stimulate collagen regeneration and deliver long-lasting effects. However, its application is often hampered by delayed therapeutic…

[BACKGROUND] The chin significantly influences facial aesthetics, contributing to the overall balance and harmony of the face. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the hyaluronic acid filler Hyamax® Volumizer for chin augmentatio…

[BACKGROUND] Studies on acceptance of cosmetic surgery may not be cross-culturally invariant, but little is known about it in non-Western populations. Therefore, it is necessary to develop cross-cultural research on it. [METHODS] 230 inter…

[OBJECTIVES] Occlusal-based virtual surgical planning (VSP) prioritises the placement of endosseous dental implants, over replicating native bone contour. This may compromise facial aesthetics. This study aimed to compare function and healt…

HACE1 is a member of the HECT domain-containing E3 ligases with 909 amino acid residues, containing N-terminal ankyrin-repeats (ANK) and C-terminal HECT domain. Previously, it was shown that HACE1 is inactive in human tumors and plays a cru…

[BACKGROUND] Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is a neuromuscular disorder characterized by unilateral facial muscle spasms, negatively impacts quality of life due to social embarrassment. Botulinum Neurotoxin (BoNT) injections have emerged as a viabl…

[INTRODUCTION] Fat grafting often yields inconsistent and suboptimal results, necessitating improved fat processing techniques. A stromal vascular fraction (SVF) gel created using mechanical emulsification demonstrates superior retention ra…

[BACKGROUND] A lack of ideal filling materials is a critical limitation in current rhinoplasty. Cartilage sheet regeneration by autologous chondrocytes is expected to provide an ideal source of material. However, the inability to perform mi…

[OBJECTIVES] Oncologic risk is a serious concern of submental artery island flaps. Here, we introduce the contralateral-based submental artery island flap (C-SAIF) and demonstrate its feasibility and long-term oncological safety in reconstr…

Adjunctive procedures, including autologous fat grafting and surgical debulking, may be required to optimise facial contours following maxillomandibular reconstruction. A standardised method for the quantitative analysis of volumetric chang…

Botulinum toxin type A (BTXA) previously protected endothelial cells in free skin flaps from ischemia/reperfusion injury by inducing autophagy. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-autophagy activation may have a role in BTXA-antagonized ische…

[BACKGROUND] Facial liposuction is a popular and reliable procedure for patients with subcutaneous fat accumulation pursuing the ideal face shape. However, complications like irregularities and asymmetry are still problems for plastic surge…

[BACKGROUND] Surgical techniques and graft materials are important factors for short nose lengthening in both primary and revision rhinoplasty in Asian patients. Other subunit of the nose need to be improved as well to achieve aesthetic per…

[INTRODUCTION] Double-eyelid blepharoplasty and epicanthoplasty is usually performed concurrently in Asian patients to achieve aesthetically pleasing eye appearance, but the epicanthal area is prone to scarring. This article introduces an i…

Rhinoplasty to reshape the nasal tip is increasingly popular among Chinese women. Aesthetic standards vary across different ethnic groups and it is key to identify preferences for the ideal nasal tip in China to set surgical goals. Therefor…

[BACKGROUND] The free diced costal cartilage (FDCC) injection technique has been used in the augmentation rhinoplasty for a long time. In order to lower the incidence of nasal contour irregularities and graft displacement, we developed the …

[BACKGROUND] The multiple toothpick-shaped costal cartilage (MTCC) injection technique was introduced as an improvement based on the free diced costal cartilage (FDCC) injection technique for augmentation rhinoplasty. However, radix irregul…

In recent years, more Chinese surgeons have left other fields to enter plastic surgery. The factors influencing this respe-cialization have not been elicited. The authors aim to elucidate Chinese surgeons' experience and career satisfaction…

New developments in artificial intelligence (AI) offer opportunities to enhance plastic surgery practice, research, and education. In this article, we review relevant AI tools and applications, including machine learning, reinforcement lear…

To analyze the clinical efficacy of external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) vs transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) in patients with early glottic laryngeal carcinoma (T1-T2N0) and the effect of treatment choice on vocal function. A retrospec…

Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common pediatric primary bone tumor, with high malignancy rates and a poor prognosis following metastasis. At present, the role of microRNA (miR)‑542‑3p in OS remains to be elucidated. The purpose of the presen…
