Volume restoration has become a cornerstone in facial rejuvenation. This article focuses on the aesthetic concepts of volume loss and how to restore volume to mimic nature. The concept of evolving facial shape from a circle, to an upright triangle, to a square, to an inverted triangle is covered. Little model of the inverted egg shape is also proposed. The benefit of restoring an outer facial f...

Chromosome segregation errors in human oocytes are the leading cause of birth defects, and the risk of aneuploid pregnancy increases dramatically as women age. Accurate segregation demands that sister chromatid cohesion remain intact for decades in human oocytes, and gradual loss of the original cohesive linkages established in fetal oocytes is proposed to be a major cause of age-dependent segr...

BACKGROUND Patient satisfaction and improved quality of life are the predominant considerations determining success in cosmetic surgery. However, few studies have examined patients' perceptions of their appearance following cosmetic facial surgery and/or nonsurgical facial rejuvenation. This study identified patient-reported outcome measures developed and validated for use in patients undergoin...

Glassy polymers show "strain hardening": at constant extensional load, their flow first accelerates, then arrests. Recent experiments have found this to be accompanied by a striking and unexplained dip in the segmental relaxation time. Here we explain such behavior by combining a minimal model of flow-induced liquefaction of a glass with a description of the stress carried by strained polymers,...

OBJECTIVE To present a clinical classification of the lip-cheek groove. DESIGN The clinical classification, which is based on years of analysis, will provide optimal management options for achieving the greatest degree of correction and rejuvenation of the lip-cheek groove. RESULTS The use of the clinical classification of the lip-cheek groove will guide the surgeon to the management option...

PURPOSE The aim of the study was to demonstrate whether rhinoplasty alone is a rejuvenating procedure for the aging face. MATERIALS AND METHODS Photographs of the right profile of 48 white females older than 55 years were recorded using standardized techniques. Each of the subjects' noses underwent computer-simulated rhinoplasty to conform to aesthetic canons of the ideal nose. Forty-eight ev...

It becomes even more effective when combined with canthopexy, midcheek lifting, and lower lid surgery. Its rejuvenation and beauty-enhancing effects are awesome, and much of its benefit is transferable to endoscopic lifts or lateral juxta-brow, temple excisions, if one...
