With the increase in popularity of the use of cosmetic fillers in plastic and esthetic surgery, the possibility of severe ocular complications should not be neglected. Of the fillers used, autologous fat is the most common to cause permanent visual deterioration, one of the most severe complications associated with the use of cosmetic fillers. Here we present the first report of a complete recovery of visual acuity from an instance of visual loss with no light perception caused by ophthalmic artery occlusion of the right eye following autologous fat injection in the facial area. Immediate ophthalmological intervention and comprehensive therapy with prostaglandins and vinpocetine made it possible to restore retinal perfusion and achieve complete recovery of visual acuity. Awareness of the iatrogenic artery occlusions associated with facial fillers and the need for immediate treatment should be popularized among injectors to prevent devastating consequences, such as permanent vision loss.

Within a surgical department, communication is of the essence. Provided and adapted exchange between practitioners is the key to achieve premium patient care and optimize therapeutic strategies. With the use of smartphones, instant messaging applications face a growing popularity in both private and professional sectors, serving as a secure, efficient, and economical communication tool by optimizing transmission and data usage within teams.
The increasing variety of breast implants has led to their classification into «profile» types to guide implant cataloguing and selection. Implant «profile» describes the overall silhouette of the implant. It represents a permutation of all 3 dimensions of the implant: base diameter, projection, and volume. Implant «profile» is not the same as implant projection. Implant projection is a quantifiable linear measurement of the anterior-posterior dimension of the implant, whereas implant «profile» is a vendor-driven assessment that currently lacks universal standardization. Until «profile» assessments are standardized across vendors, it behooves us to be cognizant of their limitations as primary variables used to guide implant selection.
This article presents the authors’ understanding and experience concerning anatomic studies and clinical methods in microsurgical hand reconstruction. The 4 parts of this article include anatomic study of the hand for developing new flaps; application of miniflaps from the hand, including clinical experience with 8 unique flaps in the hand; anatomic and clinical considerations concerning several flaps from other parts of the human body and the experience with vascularized free toe joint transfer.
En este artículo se presenta un heterogéneo conjunto compuesto por 30 prototipos nasales, seleccionados deliberadamente 10 que presentaban perfil con óptima definición del dorso y piel de grosor intermedio con el fin de investigar sistemáticamente, en estos últimos, al segmento inicial del borde superior de la rama alar externa y al tramo distal del borde anterior del cartílago triangular. Mediante disecciones rutinarias, se realizó el análisis con material de individuos adultos, de ambos sexos y raza blanca, previamente formolizado.
The ability to better prognosticate burn injury outcome is challenging and historically, most center use the Baux or revised Baux score to help prognosticate burn outcome, however, the weighted contribution of comorbidity on burn mortality has traditionally not been accounted for nor adequately studied. We therefore sought to determine the effect of comorbidities, using the Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) on burn mortality.
Breast implants and, more recently, autologous fat grafting are the two most common treatments used to correct tuberous breast deformity (TBD). The post-surgical quality of life between the two techniques is not well demonstrated. This study aimed to compare satisfaction and health-related quality of life in patients affected by TBD between these two techniques.
