This study investigates the efficacy of integrating a collagen-elastin matrix (MatriDerm) with lower blepharoplasty to address infraorbital hollowness and fine wrinkles in aging patients, conditions often inadequately treated with conventio…

[BACKGROUND] This study aimed to identify the anatomy of retaining ligaments in the nasal region and understand their function via dissection of Asian cadavers. [METHODS] Between July 2020 and May 2023, 19 cadavers-11 fresh-frozen Koreans …

The free flap is a versatile option for reconstruction of soft tissue defects around the ankle. In patients with poor lower leg circulation, arterial insufficiency is one of the complications that can occur immediately after vessel anastomo…

[BACKGROUND] Despite the increasing popularity of various materials for ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury mitigation, research on botulinum toxin type A (BoNTA) remains limited. This study assesses BoNTA's efficacy in protecting flaps from …

[BACKGROUND] A lower eyelid defect is a loss of skin, muscle, and underlying structures that can occur due to trauma, malignant or benign tumors, burns, or other causes. The conventional surgical treatment of lower lid defects has several l…

[BACKGROUND] Malignant triton tumors (MTTs) comprise a subgroup of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) that exhibits rhabdomyosarcomatous differentiation and follow an aggressive course. MTTs are primarily located along periph…

[BACKGROUND] Midcheek lift has been performed for cosmetic or reconstructive surgery of the lower eyelid. For midcheek lift through the subciliary incision, preperiosteal and subperiosteal dissections are the most often implemented, with go…

[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture is a critical complication of silicone implantation caused by fibrotic tissue formation from excessive foreign body responses. Various approaches have been applied, but targeting the mechanisms of capsule f…

 Hypothenar free flaps (HTFFs) have been widely used for reconstructing palmar defects. Although previous anatomical and clinical studies of HTFF have been conducted, this technique still has some limitations. In this study, we describe som…

Marginal reflex distance1 (MRD1) is a crucial clinical tool used to evaluate the position of the eyelid margin in relation to the cornea. Traditionally, this assessment has been conducted manually by plastic surgeons, ophthalmologists, or t…

Many various types of operative techniques have been performed used to treat make-up for sacral defects. Perforator-based flaps with flap transposition, but achieving an optimal flap design and tension-free flap closure without skeletonizin…

The complex nature of the cervical spine makes surgical intervention challenging when treating cervical deformity in patients with cerebral palsy (CDCP). However, few studies have investigated the unique characteristics of cerebral palsy th…

A synthetic zwitterionic dopamine derivative (ZW-DOPA) containing both catechol and amine groups was recently shown to exhibit excellent antifouling activity on marine surfaces. Here, we have extended these analyses to investigate the effec…

Neuromuscular disorders (NMDs) are diseases involving the upper and lower motor neurons and muscles. In patients with NMDs, cervical spinal deformities are a very common issue; however, unlike thoracolumbar spinal deformities, few studies h…

[BACKGROUND] Polydioxanone (PDS) has been widely used in the medical field over the past 30 years. In the 2000s, PDS plate began to be used for rhinoplasty and septoplasty. However, in Asia PDS plates are not widely used due to lack of awar…

[BACKGROUND] Due to the anatomical complexity of the deep temporal fascia (DTF), practical guidelines for its safe harvest are lacking. However, since the upper temporal compartment (UTC) contains no vital structures, it may provide safe ac…

[BACKGROUND] Nasal framework-supporting procedures such as septal extension grafts, derotation grafts, and columellar strut grafts are usually required in rhinoplasty in Asian patients because the skin envelope is tight, but the nasal frame…

[PURPOSE] Minimal deformity or instability after columellar strut graft (CSG) placement can be solved by placing a suture between the columella strut and the caudal septum, such as a medial crura anchor suture or a projection control suture…

[OBJECTIVE] East Asians usually have short and flat noses and broad nasal bones. Therefore, rhinoplasty with dorsal augmentation and nasal osteotomy is often required. However, many surgeons are wary of performing nasal osteotomy in conjunc…

This study confirms that botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT-A) decreases capsular contracture and elucidates a possible mechanism. Silicone blocks were implanted subcutaneously in 20 mice. The experimental groups received BoNT-A (1, 2·5 or 5…

[BACKGROUND] One of the most serious complications of breast surgery using implants is capsular contracture. Several preventive treatments have been introduced; however, the mechanism of capsule formation has not been resolved completely. T…

[BACKGROUND] We postulated that the fibrotic capsule around a silicone implant could be induced by ischemic conditions, based on previous reports that hypoxia is an important microenvironmental factor in the development of tissue fibrosis. …

Performing secondary rhinoplasty in patients who underwent primary rhinoplasty using a silicone implant is difficult due to thinning of nasal skin and formation of a capsule. Excess capsule formation can cause capsular contracture, resultin…
