    Abstract Background: Dermal fillers have created a multi-billion-dollar industry. They are the second most popular form of injectable, as they primarily address volume loss, augmentation, and provide immediate results. The most popular form includes hyaluronic acid-based fillers, however, alternatives exist.
    Objective: To create clinical charts to help with filler selection, injection, and addressing common complications.
    Methods: The current literature and expert opinions form our two senior authors were used to create a numerical and color-coded chart based on G-prime for filler selection, as well as an anatomical table with current recommendations and pearls. We have also included a safety table with current clinical recommendation to deal with common filler-related complications.
    Conclusion: Fillers are a safe and reliable method to achieve augmentation. Filler selection in various anatomical planes plays a significant role in achieving favorable results.

    Abstract Objective: Many plastic surgeons experience musculoskeletal strain and injury from poor ergonomics during surgery. This is associated with reduced performance, shortened careers, and decreased quality of life. This study compared the ergonomics of the conventional operating table headrest and the Mayfield headrest in craniofacial surgery.
    Methods: A prospective cohort study of patients undergoing craniofacial operations between November 20, 2022 and April 26, 2023, within a single craniofacial surgeon's practice. The authors obtained data on the total duration of the operation and Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) scores for the primary surgeon and assistant.
    Results: Four operations (mean: 147 ± 60.9 min) were included in the regular headrest group, and 8 in the Mayfield headrest group (mean: 61±53.4 min). Four hundred fifty-five regular headrest time points and 851 Mayfield time points were recorded. Eight hundred thirty-five regular headrest time points and 538 Mayfield time points were recorded. The mean REBA score for the regular headrest was 5.79 ± 1.9, which was higher than the Mayfield (5.01 ± 2.0; P < 0.0001). Subgroup analysis showed the mean REBA score for the primary surgeon (5.89 ± 2.0) was higher than the assist (5.48 ± 1.6) in the regular headrest group (P < 0.0001), whereas the converse was true for the Mayfield headrest (primary surgeon: 4.67 ± 1.8, assist: 5.65 ± 2.15, P < 0.0001).
    Conclusions: Ergonomic scores were better using the Mayfield headrest than the regular headrest. The primary surgeon scored better with the Mayfield headrest, whereas the assists had better scores with the regular headrest.

    Abstract Introduction: Cadaveric fresh frozen cartilage provides an enticing alternative to traditional autologous cartilage grafts. This review provides a systematic analysis of existing literature on the use of fresh frozen rib for in rhinoplasties and focuses on clinical and aesthetic outcomes.
    Methods: The methodology was designed and registered in the PROSPERO database (CRD42023447166). The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guideline was used to perform this systematic review.
    Results: Four articles were included, with a total of 554 patients. A total of 477 patients were female (86%). Mean age ranged between 35.8 and 40.6. Mean follow-up ranged from 12.2 to 20.3 months. Only one article had a suitable control (with autologous rib graft). Pooled complications rates were low. Infection occurred in 12 patients (2%), warping in 8 patients (1.4%) and resorption in 3 patients (0.5%).
    Conclusion: Fresh frozen cartilage may be a safe and reliable alternative to autologous rib grafts. Complication rates were comparable to previous systematic reviews of autologous graft and irradiated allograft. Overall, patients reported high satisfaction rates with low rates of revision procedures. Further studies are required to assess both clinical and cost effectiveness against the current gold standard (autologous graft).

    Abstract Introduction: Breast reconstruction with the deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap is the current gold-standard autologous option. The profunda artery perforator (PAP) and lumbar artery perforator (LAP) flaps have more recently been described as alternatives for patients who are not candidates for a DIEP flap. The aim of this study was to review the survival and complication rates of PAP and LAP flaps, using the DIEP flap as a benchmark.
    Methods: A literature search was conducted using PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, BIOSIS, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases. Papers were screened by title and abstract, and full texts reviewed by three independent blinded reviewers. Quality was assessed using MINORS criteria.
    Results: Sixty-three studies were included, for a total of 745 PAP, 62 stacked PAP, 187 LAP, and 23,748 DIEP flap breast reconstructions. The PAP (98.3%) had comparable success rate to DIEP (98.4%), and the stacked PAP (88.7%) and LAP (92.5%) success rate was significantly lower (P < 0.0001). The PAP and LAP groups both had a low incidence of fat necrosis. However, the revision rate for the LAP group was 16.1% whereas the PAP group was 3.3%. Donor site wound dehiscence rate was 2.9 in the LAP group and 9.1% in the PAP group.
    Conclusions: Profunda artery perforator and DIEP flaps demonstrate very high rates of overall survival. The LAP flap has a lower survival rate. This review highlights the survival and complication rates of these alternative flaps, which may help clinicians in guiding autologous reconstruction technique when a DIEP flap is unavailable.

    Abstract Introduction: Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) is one of the most prevalent approaches to tackle obesity and its co-morbidities. The main complication following the LSG is Gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD), with most patients developing worsening symptoms of GERD, and a small number progressing to Barrett's esophagus. This retrospective analysis aims to assess the rate of GERD pre- and post- LSG as well as the rate of progression to Barrett's.
    Methods: Data was collected from 1639 patients. 92 patients fit our inclusion criteria. Data was then analyzed and summarized against similar literature.
    Results: Of 64 (69.6%) patients who had normal EGD findings pre-LSG, only 28 patients (30.4%) had the same results 5 years post-LSG (p= < 0.05). The number of patients who had Grade A GERD almost quadrupled post-LSG, increasing from 3 patients (3.3%) to 14 (15.2%). Patients with esophagitis/gastritis/duodenitis increased from 20 (21.7%) to 32 patients (34.8%). Patients with hiatal hernias increased from 4 (4.4%) to 10 patients (10.9%). The most significant result is that 2 out of 92 patients developed Barrett's Esophagus (2.2%), while 7 other patients developed further serious complications.
    Conclusion: LSG is a very effective and safe bariatric procedure. However, the major downslide is that it can lead to the aggravation of GERD symptoms. This paper and the included literature demonstrate that LSG does lead to a substantial increase in the rate of GERD, however, the percentages of Barrett's Esophagus are markedly low. Performing an EGD pre- and post- LSG is an important protocol that aids in the diagnosis and management of LSG related GERD.

    Abstract Introduction: Our main objective is to evaluate the effect of body contouring surgery (BCS) on the magnitude and durability of weight loss after bariatric surgery.
    Methods: Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane, and Scopus search were conducted from the time of their inception to June 2020. We included comparative studies that assessed weight progression, in terms of Body Mass Index change (∆BMI), Total Body Weight Loss (TBWL%), and Excess Weight Loss (%EWL) for the post-bariatric patient population and the effect of BCS on weight progression.
    Results: Eleven articles were included. The pooled sample size was 2307, of which 691 were cases who underwent BCS post-bariatric surgery, and 1616 were comparative controls. The mean follow-up time for cases and controls were 61.6 ± 23.8 months and 52.2 ± 23.8 months, respectively. Nine studies reported results of BMI changes, six provided %EWL, and five used %TBWL. Significant improvement in weight loss was observed in the BCS group when measured by either ∆BMI (3 kg/m2 points decrease, p 0.023), %TBWL (6% increase, P < 0.0001), or %EWL (14% increase, P < 0.0001). Sub-group analysis showed that increased follow-up time was associated with higher TBWL% (p 0.02).
    Conclusion: The evidence provided in this review strongly supports the added long-term benefits of body contouring surgery for selected patients after massive weight loss following bariatric surgery. Having a multidisciplinary team that involves a bariatric and a plastic surgeon as well as nutritionists and psychologists for the management of patients with obesity going through the bariatric pathway is recommended.
