Background Dimpleplasty, a cosmetic procedure for creating dimples, is gaining popularity. However, the ideal site for dimple creation remains subjective. This study aimed to determine the optimal dimple placement using a three-dimensional (3D) model, reviewing panelists' preferences based on facial proportions and average ratings. Materials and Methods A 3D model was used to assess three dimple placement points: Point A (intersection of the external canthus and Cupid's bow), point B (Khoo Boo-Chai point), and point C (site based on smile dynamics). Panelists reviewed these points on faces with different proportions using three facial ratios: ratio 1 (Tr-Me / lc r-lc l), ratio 2 (Tr-Nos / Nos-Me), and ratio 3 (Me-Lip / Lip-Nos). Panelists provided average ratings for each site based on aesthetic appeal relative to these ratios. Results Point A received higher ratings for faces with a lower ratio 1 (wider faces). Point B was preferred in faces with higher ratio 1 (elongated faces) and lower ratio 2, receiving the highest average rating for balanced aesthetics. Point C was favored in faces with higher ratios 2 and 3, indicating dominance in the mid and lower facial thirds. Point B had the highest average rating overall. Conclusion These results emphasize the importance of considering facial proportions for optimal dimple placement and individualized cosmetic outcomes. Simulation software like the one that we have used in our study, may further help in patient counseling before determining the site of dimpleplasty.

We present two cases of acute compartment syndrome (ACS) in the donor area of an anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap, with extensive necrosis of the quadriceps muscle. An innervated latissimus dorsi (LD) flap was used to cover the defect and restore functionality of the lower extremity. ACS in the ALT donor area is extraordinarily uncommon. Its mechanism seems to be multifactorial, being more frequent in young athletic males and, possibly, in patients with anatomical vascular variations. It is important to detect it promptly to prevent irreversible muscular ischemia. Intense pain is an alarm sign but might be absent in patients with epidural infusion pumps. We recommend caution with the use of this analgesia and frequent monitoring of the donor area during the early postoperative period. The free functional LD muscle flap is an option to treat full-thickness quadriceps damage, allowing for wound closure, soft-tissue coverage, and restoration of the knee extension movement.
