Summary: Mortality after gluteal augmentation with fat transfer techniques is extremely high. Placement of fat subcutaneously versus in the gluteal musculature, or both, is considerably debated. The purpose of this study was to radiographically show the anatomical difference in live subjects in different procedural positions: the flexed or “jackknife” versus prone position. A total of 10 women underwent computed tomographic scanning of the pelvis with venous phase run-off in both the jackknife...

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), known as the “coronavirus,” has spread to over 170 countries. In response, many organizations have spoken out and called for cancellation of all elective surgical procedures. This study aimed to provide clear recommendations for plastic surgeons to follow by addressing the following issues: (1) What defines elective surgery, and where does one draw the line between essential versus nonessential services? (2) How does this differ in the hospital...

Background: In the past two decades, lipoabdominoplasty has increased in popularity worldwide, presenting low rates of complications and morbidity when the proper surgical steps are followed. The authors present an update of the lipoabdominoplasty technique with the addition of an abdominal definition and standardized steps for its safe execution, an initial personal experience with the procedure that improves the aesthetic results. Methods: Anatomical limits are described for preoperative...

Background: Double-eyelid blepharoplasty is the most frequently performed aesthetic surgery in the Asian population. However, the epicanthal fold has been a conundrum limiting the outcomes of Asian blepharoplasty. Furthermore, with the blending of Western and Asian cultures, patients have individual standards of beauty for the upper eyelids. Here, we developed a four-step technique to form infold or outfold double-eyelid creases to satisfy individual patient requirements. Methods: The medical...

Background: Blindness following facial filler procedures, although rare, is devastating, usually acute, permanent, and attributed to an ophthalmic artery embolus. However, blindness may be delayed for up to 2 weeks, sometimes following injection at remote sites, suggesting alternative pathways and pathogenesis. Methods: Seeking solutions, fresh cadaver radiographic lead oxide injection, dissection, and histologic studies of the orbital and facial pathways of the ophthalmic angiosome, performed...

Summary: Breast reconstruction remains an important field in plastic surgery, with most procedures using implants and/or autologous tissue. Few series report on experience with fat grafting as the primary form of breast reconstruction. The present article describes a new method of breast reconstruction using a three-dimensional absorbable mesh construct—or Lotus scaffold—and autologous fat grafting. A retrospective review was performed for all patients who underwent breast reconstruction using...
