Abstract

arm elevation. The 3 approaches yield very similar results, and all can be implemented based on the Surgeon’s preference and expertise. Conclusion: A properly performed breast augmentation surgery starts with a thorough evaluation, preoperative measurements, and surgical planning, including identifying the new IMF location. There are different methods to calculate the new IMF location; however, it is important to keep in mind that there are many variables, and these geometrical methods need to be combined with the artistic eye and operative judgment of the surgeon. Abstract: In the past few years, studies appeared in the literature addressing the growing concern of mortality in patients undergoing buttock fat augmentation, A.K.A Brazilian Butt Lift. The need for safety measures could not be more prudent, giving rise to safety guidelines such as limiting the injection level to the subcutaneous layer and intricate knowledge of anatomy. Ways to facilitate such recommendations is by using ultrasound guidance. Still, it was not very practical as it had to be held with one hand or elic-ited Abstract: Facial wrinkles and creases are part of the aging process. They appear as the underlying collagen and elastin fibers break down and wear out. While this breakdown is part of the natural aging process, it can also result from excessive squinting, frowning, and smiling. Fat cells taken from your body are the 2 most frequently used materials for filling facial wrinkles and frown lines. While hyaluronic acid can smooth out wrinkles, injectables are not for everyone. Some patients may develop an allergic reaction over time. Patients may consider filler injections to correct the early signs of aging must be repeated yearly. Abstract: Augmentation mammoplasty is one of the most used procedures in breast surgery, and its complications have been very well studied. However, periprosthetic galactocele after prosthetic breast augmentation surgery is a very little-known complication. Galactorrhea is a rare complication after breast plastic surgery. Its cause is still unknown, although it is most likely that its appearance has a multifacto-rial origin. Our casuistry consists of 40 cases ranging from 18 to 40 years, occurring in nulliparous and multiparous women. Postsurgical galactorrhea often follows a benign and self-limited course, culminating in spontaneous resolution. Depending on the severity of the symptoms, its treatment can be medical and surgical, with drainage or even removal of breast implants. It is a disorder characterized by Abstract: Veins are thin-walled, low-pressure conduits whose function is the return of blood from the periphery (lower extremities) to the heart. The mechanism that favors this return involves the presence of venous valves, the muscular action, through its contraction, the arterial pulsatility neighboring the deep veins, and the respiratory physiology, by alternating the intrathoracic pressure, among other mechanisms. The venous flow of the lower extremities has the characteristic of being centripetal (from the superficial to the deep veins) and, as mentioned previously, from the lower extremities to the heart. EVC is usually caused by primary alterations of the venous wall or valves. These alterations can also be caused secondarily by the sequelae of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which produces reflux, obstruction, or both. Venous malformations are also a cause, although very rare, of EVC. Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a term that, according to current consensus, should be reserved for advanced CVA, in those cases in which edema, trophic skin disorders, and ulcers occur. The clinical history and physical examination alone do not always indicate the characteristics and extent of the problem, so diagnostic techniques have been developed to determine the anatomical and functional implication of the obstruction Abstract: Reduction of the labia minora has increased in popularity and is the most frequently performed vaginal Abstract: Renuva can be used in special periocular conditions, although this The presentation will review the and injection techniques of this product application. The presentation is intended Abstract: Postoperative nausea, vomiting, and throat pain are expected sequelae of general gas inhalation anesthesia. Coupled with paralytic agents and long operative times common with aesthetic surgery, the patient is also at risk for deep venous thrombosis (DVT) formation. Modern anesthesia Technique for Aesthetic Surgery (MATFAS) is a modern anesthesia technique that provides a safer and more comfortable option for aesthetic surgical patients undergoing elective surgery. Abstract: Does is Cancer risk for breast augmentation discussed for breast implants and fat grafting (natural breast augmenta-tion). to detection, types of cancers associated with breast implants of fat grafting paramedian and/or temporal incisions at customized anchor points. The internal release and the vector amplitude further enhance the customized vector of this approach to brow lifting that reliably produces enhanced aesthetic outcomes. polypropylene or 6-0 plain gut sutures. Results: A total of 232 patients who underwent this procedure in the indicated time frame were included in this analysis. The senior author has used this technique for all lower blepharoplasties performed in the indicated time. Of those patients, no reported cases of lateral canthal malposition, lateral eyelid dystopia, or lower eyelid malposition, including retraction or ectropion. Conclusion: With proper surgical planning and respect for the functional units of the lower eyelids, many postoperative complications can be avoided. By supporting the lateral canthus with this maneuver, the senior author has prevented these complications while preserving aesthetic outcomes in this patient cohort. This technique is straightforward and does not require lateral canthotomy or inferior cantholysis, which opens the possibility of malposition or postoperative dehiscence of the lateral canthal tendon. As an adjunct to lower eyelid blepharoplasties of any type, this procedure provides support for the lower eyelid and the prevention of serious functional and cosmetic postoperative complications. 4-6 70% power 1.5 LPM of helium flow an activation speed of approximately 1 to 3 cm/s. Follow-up visits at D1, D7, D14, D30, D90, and D180. Primary effectiveness endpoint was an improvement in the appearance of lax tissue in the neck and submental region at D180 determined by 2 of 3 blinded independent photographic reviewers (IPR). Primary safety endpoint was the level of pain and discomfort after treatment as reported by the subject on an 11-point Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) through D7. Findings: Primary effectiveness endpoint met; 82.5% demonstrated improvement at D180 by IPR. Primary safety endpoint met; 96.9% of subjects experienced no pain to moderate pain to D7. Mean NRS scores were 0.9, 2.3, and 0.6 immediately postprocedure, D1, and D7. Abstract: This talk will explain a revolutionary endoscopic approach to performing an entire deep plane facelift by releasing the facial retaining ligaments internally without any facial scars or tragal ear deformities. The rationale and precise mechanism will be outlined and demonstrated. Abstract: Facial rejuvenation procedures have evolved significantly because they were first performed at the begin-ning of the 20th century. New techniques of Rhytidectomy and other procedures focus on providing natural facial more jawline. Buccal fat pad removal has convention-ally via intraoral incision, we describe a sub-SMAS technique that utilizes facelift incision, thus avoiding intraoral scar. Material Methods: A retrospective review of case records of 18 patients with buccal fat reduction in facelift cases was performed. A novel surgical technique is described. Results: Buccal fat pad removal was performed by sub-SMAS dissection during facelift surgery. In 18 consecutive patients, submitted results and complications were evaluated. No parotid duct or facial nerve injuries were identified. We an effective and safe surgical technique that enables BFP reduction to improve facial shape and jaw lines in facelift patients incisions. Abstract: Techniques for anesthesia in hair transplantation have been developed over the past three decades. These include intravenous sedation, nerve blocks, and local anesthesia, with varying combinations of local anesthetics. The vascularity of the scalp also requires tumescence anesthesia to limit blood loss. Perioperative analgesia, minimization of blood loss, and prevention of postoperative swelling are the goals of anesthesia in hair transplantation. A review of current techniques employed, and our preferred approach will be presented. Abstract: Abdominoplasty entails many risks. These risks become magnified with the patient’s comorbidities. The presentation will review the complications inherent in abdominoplasty and its treatments. Abstract: The deep plane facelift is a very popular procedure that is currently being considered one of the best facelift techniques currently being performed. There is some concern about introducing this procedure into one’s surgical practice because of the risks of working near multiple deep facial structures, including the facial nerve. Identifying key landmarks and understanding the surgical technique in flap elevation makes the operation as safe as other facelift procedures. These entry points and dissection limits will be discussed and demonstrated via video. Abstract: The use of hyaluronic acid fillers in functional and aesthetic gynecology will be discussed. Including types of techniques, the expected functional effects on sexual function and potential complications. Abstract: Micropenia is defined as less than 3 inches when the penis is erect. In this presentation, we demonstrate the fat manipulations around the penis by suprapubic tumescent in office liposuction
