Background: Traumatic nasal deformities have a wide spectrum of presentations, which further complicates their management and preoperative planning. Although many methods and algorithms have been proposed for management of specific posttraumatic nasal deformities such as twisted, deviated, saddle or short nose, these algorithms usually focus on a specific deformity in isolation from the remainder of the nose.
Objectives: The aim of this study is to present an algorithm for traumatic nasal deformities and to evaluate the functional and aesthetic outcomes of this new algorithm by a preoperative and postoperative quality-of-life questionnaire. Read More

Though the incidence of complications and adverse events with dermatological fillers is inherently low, practitioners should be well versed in both prevention of filler complications and the treatment algorithms for addressing "granulomas," nodules, infection, and vascular compromise. Appropriate preventative measures, coupled with timely and effective treatment, are critically important for patient safety and satisfaction. In addition to the preventive measures and treatment algorithms outlined here, the authors emphasize that the broad classification and treatment of nodules as "granulomas" is likely to lead to ineffective treatment, or worse, unnecessary exposure to incorrect treatment.

Loss of facial volume and soft-tissue support are common to types of facial aging. Restoration of a youthful appearance relies upon correction of this loss, and can be achieved in various capacities through use of biostimulatory or hyaluronic acids (HA) injectable fillers. Here, the authors discuss the versatility of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) in volume replacement and the applications and facial regions for which CaHA, poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), and HA fillers are best suited.

The recent approval in 2015 of Radiesse for injection into the hand by the FDA has spurred an increase in interest among patients and clinicians in nonsurgical hand rejuvenation using fillers. Application of the same techniques used to treat the face to the dorsum of the hands does not account for the unique nature of the skin and underlying anatomy, and can lead to suboptimal outcomes and an increased risk of adverse events such as the formation of nodules. Here, the authors discuss dilution strategies and injection techniques for hand rejuvenation using Radiesse for optimal patient safety and aesthetic outcomes. Read More

Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) is a synthetic, biocompatible, biodegradable polymer. For soft-tissue augmentation, the size and chemical attributes of the PLLA microparticles are central to this agent's ability to promote a subclinical inflammatory response that stimulates deposition of collagen in the extracellular matrix. The resultant restoration of facial volume occurs in a controlled, predictable manner and is long lasting. Read More

The clinical performance of fillers in soft tissue augmentation depends upon their physiochemical properties, anatomical areas injected, interaction with the recipient, and the skill and experience of the physician. Scientific measures of filler properties facilitate appropriate selection of treatments for optimal treatment outcomes, and inform adjustments to treatments that improve patient safety and aesthetic outcomes. The rheological properties of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), elastic modulus (G') and viscosity, coupled with its capacity to offer both immediate results and continued stimulation of collagen type I deposition, support its distinction as an ideal treatment for the volume loss characteristic of aging.

Background: Umbilical hernia is a common finding in patients undergoing abdominoplasty, especially those who are post-partum with rectus divarication. Concurrent surgical treatment of the umbilical hernia at abdominoplasty presents a "vascular challenge" due to the disruption of dermal blood supply to the umbilicus, leaving the stalk as the sole axis of perfusion. To date, there have been no surgical techniques described to adequately address large umbilical herniae during abdominoplasty. Read More

Background: The midface is particularly prone to the senescent changes of soft tissue ptosis and volume loss, which in individuals with aging or low adiposity can manifest as submalar hollowing. Facelift alone in those with submalar hollowing inadequately addresses the volume loss and may result in a gaunt appearance postoperatively. Submalar implant augmentation is a powerful tool for permanent midface volume restoration for a more youthful and natural contour, as opposed to soft tissue fillers that diminish over time. Read More
