Background
Abdominoplasty techniques are well documented. The ideal position of the umbilicus has, however, received limited attention. Unfortunately, umbilicus position is not universally agreed upon in male cosmetic abdominoplasty. This study was conducted to determine the ideal umbilicus anthropometric measurements in young men, and the relation...
IntroductionPlatysmal bands are an unappealing feature of the aging face. Incomplete understanding of anatomy and physiology of platysmal bands has led to a long period of flawed or incomplete treatment. This review aims to elucidate the correct study of platysmal bands along with the most recent surgical treatments.Materials and Methods

Reporting of esthetic outcomes in plastic surgery relies classically on ill-defined endpoints and subjective measures very often from the patients' and/or providers' perspectives that are notoriously characterized by subjectivity and questionable solid scientific validation. With the recent trend of increasing demand for all types of esthetic medic...
Notoriously characterized by subjectivity and lack of solid scientific validation, reporting aesthetic outcome in plastic surgery is usually based on ill-defined end points and subjective measures very often from the patients’ and/or providers’ perspective. With the tremendous increase in demand for all types of aesthetic procedures, there is an ur...
Breast implant illness (BII) is a condition characterized by elusive diagnostic criteria and self-reported diverse disabling and distressing physical and psychological symptoms. With currently significant increase in public awareness, BII is perhaps becoming the most controversial subject in aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery, generating h...

... 7 Atiye determined that the appropriate umbilical position during abdominoplasty in male patients has a constant golden number relationship that can be identified only between N-N (internipple distance) and U-AX (umbilicus-anterior axillary fold distance). 8 Hoyos proposed that male and female patients have an ideal umbilical zone based on the distance from the xiphoid process to the pubis. In female patients, this zone lies between the junction of the two upper-thirds with the lower third, and for male patients, lies between the two upper-thirds and the third quarter over a line between the xiphoid process and the pubis. ...

... However, AI predictions and data interpretations should be evaluated carefully and critically. Further research on this new field will be important to understand its potential role in both aesthetic medicine and surgery [82,83]. ...

... There are two main possible mechanisms of muscle modulation by fillers in aesthetic contouring [7][8][9]. Firstly, activation of the myotatic reflex (MR) is possible. The myotatic or stretch reflex is a reflexive muscle contraction in response to stretching. ...
... Moreover, inflammatory reactions to silicone elastomer particulate debris [39]-specifically particle shedding from breast implants [40]-have been demonstrated. In particular, macrophages and foreign body giant cells (FBGCs) take up silicone [41][42][43]. Together with neutrophils, mast cells, and fibroblasts, these cells have all been implicated in sensing the biomaterial and in producing signals that may alter fibrotic responses [25,41]. ...
... While the etiology of BII has not yet been thoroughly understood, there have been recent research advancements attempting to better elucidate the clinical sequelae associated with BII. In parallel, BII is rapidly becoming popularized on social media and online platforms, with this increasing awareness translating to rising rates of breast implant removal surgeries 20 . Notably, such explantation may yield symptomatic improvements in BII patients, as reflected by higher postoperative Breast-Q™ scores [21][22][23][24] . ...
