Radiotherapy is essential for achieving and maintaining local control in head and neck rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) patients. However, radiotherapy may cause outgrowth disturbances of facial bone and soft tissue, resulting in facial asymmetry. Th…

[BACKGROUND] Cell-free fat extract (CEFFE) has shown promising therapeutic effects on osteoarthritis (OA) in preclinical studies, but its clinical role remains unclear. [PURPOSE] To evaluate the safety and efficacy of intra-articular autol…

[BACKGROUND] Posttraumatic elbow stiffness is a complex complication with two characteristics of capsular contracture and heterotopic ossification. Currently, genomic mechanisms and pathogenesis of posttraumatic elbow stiffness remain inade…

[OBJECTIVE] To evaluate the surgical outcomes of microsurgical treatment and transarterial endovascular embolization for dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs). [METHODS] A retrospective analysis was conducted on 47 patients diagnosed with h…

[OBJECTIVE] The surgical management of petroclival meningioma (PCM) remains a challenge in neurosurgery. This study compared the outcomes of endoscope-assisted microsurgery and conventional microscopic approaches to evaluate the safety and …

Thread lifting has become widely adopted worldwide as a nonsurgical facial rejuvenation technique due to its simplicity and short recovery period. However, despite its generally favorable safety profile, various complications may occur, wit…

[OBJECTIVE] The purpose of our study was to evaluate the clinical effect of a facelift combined with a modified overlapping superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) flap for repairing facial depression caused by the resection of benign …

[OBJECTIVE] To investigate the application and therapeutic efficacy of a novel cartilage framework: the external septa framework in East Asian rhinoplasty. [METHODS] From November 2021 to April 2023, Department of Plastic and Aesthetic (Bu…

Delayed wound healing is a public issue that imposes a significant burden on both society and the patients themselves. To date, although numerous methods have been developed to accelerate the speed of wound closure, the therapeutic effects …

[BACKGROUND] Skin incision scars are cosmetically displeasing; the effects of current treatments are limited, and new methods to reduce scar formation need to be found. [OBJECTIVE] We sought to determine whether immediate postoperative inj…

[BACKGROUND] Women commonly experience upper eyelid dermatochalasis and upper eyelid depression with advancing age. Blepharoplasty is a suitable method for treating dermatochalasis, but not sunken eyelid. This study proposed a novel techniq…

[BACKGROUND] For patients looking for temporary results or who do not want surgery, nonsurgical rhinoplasty using filler injections has become increasingly popular. Filler materials and surgical techniques have improved in recent years, but…

[BACKGROUND] Patients requiring plastic surgery exhibit more abnormal psychological trends (e.g., body dysmorphic disorder [BDD], depression, and anxiety) than those requiring other surgeries. However, there are only a few domestic studies …

[BACKGROUND] Tissue expansion has tremendous applications in plastic surgery, but flap retraction provides insufficient tissue for use. Inspired by the use of montelukast to suppress capsular contracture, the authors investigated the effect…

[BACKGROUND] As essential techniques, intraoperative indocyanine green video angiography (ICG-VA) and FLOW 800 have been widely used in microsurgery for arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). In the present report, we introduced a supplementar…

Exosomes (Exos) secreted by adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have shown potential in alleviating osteoarthritis (OA). Previous studies indicated that infrapatellar fat pad (IPFP) derived stem cells (IPFSCs) may be more suitable for the tr…

[AIM] To provide referenced classifications of alar dynamic aesthetics from both subjective and objective perspectives for determining proper surgical strategies in alarplasty. [METHODS] A total of 150 healthy Asian female participants wer…

[BACKGROUND] The septal extension graft (SEG) has become the preferred augmentation rhinoplasty technique for Asian people due to its superiority in correcting tip projection and rotation. [OBJECTIVES] The aim of this study was to build a …

[BACKGROUND] Dorsal augmentation with costal cartilage is generally used for aesthetic rhinoplasty. However, the tendency of costal cartilage to warp may jeopardize the aesthetic outcome. [OBJECTIVES] The aim of this study was to describe …

Tissue expansion can be used to overcome challenges due to tissue deficiency in plastic and reconstructive surgery; however, the long expansion process is often accompanied by numerous complications. This meta-analysis aimed to determine wh…

[BACKGROUND] In recent years, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been used in plastic surgery, dermatology, and other treatment procedures worldwide. Since the number of scientific writings has been significantly increasing, it is challenging t…

[BACKGROUND] Hypertrophic scar formation may be related to cutaneous neurogenic inflammation (CNI) through the substance P-neurokinin 1 receptor (SP-NK1R) signaling pathway. As a widely used drug in aesthetic clinical work, botulinum toxin …

The wound healing time, tension of wound edge, proliferation of fibroblast, and extracellular matrix deposition are the important factors of scar formation, and botulinum toxin type A can regulate the above. Prevention and treatment of scar…

Poor blood supply can easily lead to expander extrusion and necrosis at the distal expanded flap. Botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) has been previously found to improve pedicled flap blood flow perfusion, but its effects on the blood supply of expa…

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…

[BACKGROUND] Strategies to improve various cardiovascular diseases by blocking cardiac sympathetic ganglion have been increasingly available currently. Botulinum toxin type A (BTA), a typical neurotoxin, has been shown to block neural trans…

[BACKGROUND] Supra-brow and sub-brow blepharoplasty are two types of upper eyelid blepharoplasties that are commonly performed in middle-aged Asian women to correct skin laxity of the upper eyelid; the postoperative scar formation of the tw…

[AIM] The aim of this study is to conduct a quantitative analysis on alar mobility of HAN females and provided referenced materials for alar dynamic aesthetic. [METHODS] One hundred and fifty healthy HAN females without rhinoplasty, nasal …

[BACKGROUND] With widespread utilization of instant social media, people desire a minimally invasive treatment to improve alar dynamic aesthetic, but few practical procedures on reducing alar mobility have been conducted. [OBJECTIVES] This…
