Also, South Indians showed the least signs of aging (early as well as overall) compared to the other 3 ethnic groups in any given age range. Conclusions This study attempts to understand in greater detail the aging process of the Asian Indian population. This study could open up specific treatment protocols to treat this population in the fields of facial esthetics and facial cosmetic surgery.Adherence of pulp tissue to the underlying distal phalanx is required for fundamental actions including grip, proprioception, and fine motor skills. Disruption of the fibrous septa causes sliding between the distal phalanx and overlying soft tissues, hindering basic hand function. The authors present a novel surgical technique in which the fibrous pulp septa are resuspended to the distal phalanx with bone anchors and sclerosing agents after a closed degloving injury.Extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted from adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) (ADSC-EVs) improve flap survival after ischemia-reperfusion injury. Exposure of parent ADSCs to oxidative stress has been shown to enhance this effect, but mechanisms are unclear. We aimed to determine whether angiogenesis-promoting protein and microRNA (miRNA) content is altered in EVs after preconditioning with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2 ADSC-EVs) and whether H2O2 ADSC-EVs can increase viability of random pattern skin flaps. Methods EVs secreted by human ADSCs were isolated after culture in EV-depleted medium ± H2O2. Nanoparticle tracking analysis determined size and concentration of purified EVs. Mass spectrometry and small RNA next-generation sequencing were performed to compare proteomic and miRNA profiles. ADSC-EVs, H2O2 ADSC-EVs, or vehicle were injected into random pattern skin flaps of BALB/c mice (4-5 mice per group). Viable and necrotic areas were measured on day 7, and tissues underwent histologic analysis. Results Angiogenic and antimicrobial protein content of EVs was altered with H2O2 preconditioning. Functional enrichment analysis identified constitutive photomorphogenesis 9 signalosome (known to direct vascular endothelial growth factor production) as the major enriched Gene Ontology term unique to H2O2 ADSC-EVs. Two miRNAs were increased, and 12 (including 10 antiangiogenic miRNAs) were reduced in H2O2 ADSC-EVs. Enhanced viability (P less then 0.05) of flaps treated with H2O2 ADSC-EVs compared with vehicle corresponded to increased capillary density in the H2O2 group (P less then 0.001). Conclusion Altered protein and miRNA content in ADSC-EVs after H2O2 pretreatment likely contributes to enhanced therapeutic effects on flap survival observed in preclinical models.Ischemic complications after immediate breast reconstruction have devastating consequences; however, individual risk assessment remains challenging. We seek to develop an intraoperative assessment tool to assist in estimating risk of ischemic complications in immediate breast reconstruction. Methods Patients undergoing immediate breast reconstruction were prospectively identified and evaluated with an intraoperative mastectomy flap ischemia risk assessment tool consisting of 8 binary questions. Breast measurements and patient demographics were recorded. Reconstructions were then prospectively evaluated postoperatively for ischemic complications. Outcomes were analyzed with significance set at P values 7 also had significantly higher rates of ischemic complications (P less then 0.0001, each). The sensitivity and specificity of intraoperative mastectomy flap compromise were 81.25% and 62.07%. Conclusions Ischemic complications after immediate breast reconstruction were positively correlated with higher scores using a clinical intraoperative mastectomy flap ischemia risk assessment tool. Scores greater than 5 seem to be a threshold value at which ischemic complications are significantly greater. H-151 mw This simple, easy-to-implement intraoperative tool may assist plastic surgeons in assessing risk and optimizing outcomes in immediate breast reconstruction.Various methods to generate the lining for a full-thickness nasal reconstruction have been reported. We used bilateral septal mucoperichondrial flaps, the distal portion of an expanded median forehead flap, and a nonlaminated vascularized free temporal fascia flap as a lining during total nasal reconstruction of a total full-thickness nasal defect in a 45-year-old woman with a nasal squamous cell carcinoma. In the first step of the two-stage surgery, a tissue expander was inserted into the forehead simultaneously with tumor resection. In the second step, the expanded median forehead flap, cartilage graft, bilateral septal mucoperichondrial flaps, and short pedicle vascularized free temporal fascia transfer were performed. Total nasal reconstruction could be completed without any skin graft or skin paddle of the free flap. Epithelialization of the mucosa on the transferred vascularized free temporal fascia without contracture deformity of the nasal cavity was confirmed by endoscopic examination after 8 years of follow-up. In the surgical procedure described, the facial skin, including the lining of the nostril rim, and the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity were reconstructed using facial skin and mucous membrane without long-term contracture, respectively.Various methods are used to reposition the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) during facelift procedures. This study presents a novel, radially oriented, layered SMAS plication the triple-C SMAS plication. This technique utilizes customizable vectors in the pattern of a "C" to plicate the SMAS in 3 layers to lift and tighten the deep structures of the face. Methods A retrospective review was performed of patients undergoing the triple-C SMAS plication over a 1-year period. Patients with a length of follow-up less than 100 days were excluded from the study. Demographic data, operative data, complication rates, and satisfaction rates were assessed. Results One hundred ninety-one consecutive patients underwent a triple-C SMAS plication over a 12-month period. One hundred ten patients met inclusion criteria. Average follow-up was 404.5 days. Complications assessed included temporary facial nerve neuropraxia (0.91%), major hematoma (1.82%), minor hematoma (2.73%), seroma (4.54%), great auricular nerve injury (0%), postauricular skin slough >2 cm (1.
