Background: The recognized procedures that have been used to treat gynecomastia are said to have relatively a long operative time, less patient satisfaction rate, they are merely used, in mild to moderate gynecomastia, leaves a mild bulging over the nipple areola complex, resulting in aesthetically unsatisfactory results. The more the grade of gynecomastia, the more complicated the used surgical techniques. This study evaluates the success rate of these simplest surgical technique in higher grades of gynecomastia. Objectives: to present the experiences with use of Modification of Combined Vibrated Power Assisted Liposuction with Periareolar Gland Excision in management of in different type Gynecomastia Type of the study: This is a retrospective study Methods: The study  includes the use of a modification of combine vibrated power-assisted liposuction with periareolar gland excision applied for managing different types of gynecomastia. In 23 consecutive patients (46 breasts) treated between February of 2011 and March of 2016. Results: 23 patients (46 breasts) were successfully treated using this technique. Volume aspirated in both breast was 792 ml (range, 450 to 1600 ml). Using the periareolar excision technique, the mean operative time was 55 minutes (range, 45 to 90 minute). Complications were minimal (1.5 % per breasts), and no revisions were required. Conclusions: The modified Combined vibrated power assisted liposuction and the periareolartechnique have demonstrated to be a less time consuming versatileapproach, for the treatment of gynecomastia and consistently produces a smoothcontoured male breast, it is promising method to achieve good aesthetic results in gynecomastia surgerywhile resulting in an inconspicuous scar.

Abstract Background As patient satisfaction is a significant qualitative consideration in measuring aesthetic surgery outcome, it is important to characterize the individual factors which shape the patient perspective about blepharoplasty. Objectives This study analyzed patient reviews following blepharoplasty on the aesthetic surgery social media platform Realself.com to determine which aspects of the surgical process have the most significant impact on patient satisfaction. Methods Blepharoplasty reviews were gathered from Realself.com using an automated web crawler. These reviews were characterized as positive or negative, then given a specific category that more specifically defined the theme of the review. Additional variables including the specialty of the reviewed physician and any patient self-reported ratings were documented. Results A total of 1991 reviews pertaining to blepharoplasty were collected. Among reviews with self-reported “worth it” ratings, 93.5% were positive. Following categorization of all reviews, 1865 (93.7%) were positive and 126 (6.3%) were negative. Of the positive reviews, the most common overall themes were bedside manner (n=899, 48.2%), aesthetic result (n=859, 46.1%), and overall comfort (n=58, 3.1%). Among negative reviews, most pertained to aesthetic result (n=100, 79.4%), and bedside manner (n=14, 11.1%). The most frequently encountered physician specialties performing blepharoplasty were plastic surgery (n=1101, 55.3%), ophthalmology (n=634, 31.8%), and otolaryngology (n=69, 3.5%). Conclusions The majority of patient blepharoplasty reviews were positive. The most prominent factor driving positive reviews was bedside manner, followed by aesthetic results. Negative reviews were most frequently attributed to sub-optimal aesthetic results. Most blepharoplasties in our study cohort were performed by plastic and oculoplastic surgeons.

We compared a dermoglandular rotation flap (DGR) in the upper inner, lower inner, and upper outer quadrant regarding similar aesthetic results, patient satisfaction, and comfort after breast-conserving therapy with standard segmentectomy (SE). Between 2003 and 2011, 69 patients were treated with breast-conserving surgery using DGR for cancers with high tumor-to-breast volume ratios or skin resection in the three above mentioned quadrants; 161 patients with tumors in the same quadrants were treated with SE. The outcome of the procedures was assessed at least 7 months after completed radiation therapy using a patient and breast surgeon questionnaire and the BCCT.core software. Symmetry, visibility of the scars, the position of the nipple-areola complex, and the appearance of the treated breast were each assessed on a scale from 1 to 4 by an expert panel and by the patients. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to evaluate the relationship between patient-, tumor-, and treatment-dependent factors and patient satisfaction. 94.2% of the patients with rotation flaps and 83.5% of the patients with lumpectomy were very satisfied with the cosmetic appearance of their breast. Younger patient age was significantly associated with a lower degree of satisfaction. DGR provides good cosmetic results compared with SE and shows high patient satisfaction despite longer scarring and higher median resection volume.

We analyzed the results of one-stage correction of the asymmetry of mammary glands in 51 patients with a diagnosis of hypomastia. On the basis of obtained results the algorithm of one-stage restoration of symmetry at the given category of patients, based on the type and severity of the asymmetry was developed, which contributes to the achievement of good aesthetic results in 94.1% of cases.

Introduction: Open rhinoplasty is a popular method to correct nasal deformities, which is commonly carried out by percutaneous or endonasal techniques. Despite their advantages, these two techniques can also be associated with some disadvantages. The present study was carried out in order to examine the functional and aesthetic outcomes of percutaneous and endonasal osteotomies. Material and Methods: The present comparative study was carried out on 50 patients who underwent percutaneous osteotomy (25 cases) and endonasal osteotomy (25 cases) from August 2018 to September 2019. Before and three days, eight days, and three months after the surgeries, the required data were collected through medical and psychological assessments. Results: According to the results, the mean age of the patients was 28.7±6.5 years, and most of them were females with a female-to-male ratio of 4:1. It was also concluded that percutaneous and endonasal lateral osteotomies were not significantly different in terms of the postsurgical pain felt by the patients, epistaxis, skin scars 21 days and three months after the rhinoplasty, nasal obstruction, closing the open roof deformity, state of correction, patient satisfaction, age, and gender (p>0.05). However, they were significantly different regarding periorbital edema, periorbital ecchymosis, and skin scars during the first eight days after the surgery (p<0.05). Conclusion: Both percutaneous and endonasal lateral osteotomies were found to be useful methods to carry out rhinoplasty because both led to acceptable functional and aesthetic results regarding decreased pain, epistaxis, periorbital edema and ecchymosis, skin scar, nasal obstruction, closing the open roof deformity, and nasal deviation correction and increased patient satisfaction.
