El auge de la Cirugía Estética ha motivado que cobre mayor interés el estudiar las motivaciones de los pacientes para acudir a este tipo de consultas. En el denominado Trastorno Dismórfico Corporal (TDC), los pacientes sufren por la percepción de un defecto físico imaginario. Se ha generado controversia entre los especialistas, sobre el eventual perjuicio que tendría operar a este tipo de pacientes considerando las posibles implicaciones médico-legales.
Nos planteamos como objetivo el realizar una revisión sistemática de la literatura para caracterizar epidemiológicamente el TDC en el contexto de la consulta de Cirugía Estética, considerando su prevalencia, comorbilidades y las consecuencias de los procedimientos quirúrgicos en la salud mental de este tipo de pacientes.
A plethora of soft tissue fillers have been developed within the past decade to correct the cutaneous changes that occur with photoaging. Such fillers, whether nonpermanent, semipermanent, or permanent, are widely used to fill undesired facial rhytides. In addition, fillers are employed to correct atrophy of the face as well as other parts of the body such as the dorsum of the hands through volumization and contouring.This review article focuses on the permanent filler, Aquamid, which is composed of polyacrylamide hydrogel.
Made by bees from the nectar of flowers, used since ancient times to treat wounds and burns, honey has lately acquired a growing interest from the international scientific community and has been the subject of many specialized studies and communications.

Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) are mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that are obtained from abundant adipose tissue, adherent on plastic culture flasks, can be expanded in vitro, and have the capacity to differentiate into multiple cell lineages. Unlike bone marrow-derived MSCs, ASCs can be obtained from abundant adipose tissue by a minimally invasive procedure, which results in a high number of cells. Therefore, ASCs are promising for regenerating tissues and organs damaged by injury and diseases. This article reviews the implications of ASCs in tissue regeneration.
El objetivo de la presente revisión sistemática es determinar si los lipoinjertos enriquecidos con células madre derivadas del tejido adiposo son superiores a los injertos de tejido graso convencionales en el tratamiento de la lipoatrofia facial.
