Introduction: The chin and submental region contribute to facial balance. Inadequate jaw projection and neck definition may compromise the aesthetic results of cosmetic surgical procedures. It was hypothesized that adjunctive mandibular setback procedures and reduction genioplasty would improve the aesthetic results of cosmetic surgery. Materials and Methods: A triangular excision for a V–Y advancement is outlined in the submental region using methylene blue. The triangle is oriented with the apex facing the chin and the base toward the thyroid cartilage in a natural neck crease. The triangle, oriented so that the base is toward the chin at the submental crease, left a small bulge at the apex of the vertical limb of the Y in the neck midline, which required a secondary excision to correct. Incisions in the shape of a pentagon or an ellipse can also be used. Local anesthetic with vascoconstrictor is deposited along the lines of the planned excision. The geometric skin is excised. If the platysma muscle is dehiscent, it can be sutured and platysmaplasty performed. The subplatysmal fat may be removed if visible only in the midline region with caution taken at this juncture not to be too aggressive to avoid potential profuse hemorrhage. The skin flaps are widely undermined. The fat excision is feathered. A two-layer closure is then performed. Discussion: In patients with adequate skin elasticity and thickness, liposuction may be indicated. Submental excision and direct lipectomy is another technique that can address the ptotic chin, lax skin, and submental lipomatosis. This technique is indicated for those patients in whom there is excess submental fat or skin laxity and in whom there is a contraindication or a lack of patient desire to undergo formal neck-lifting procedures. Conclusion: Submental recontouring is a useful adjunctive aesthetic procedure that can be readily performed in the office setting with instrumentation and technique currently available.

AbstractPlatelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autogenously harvested blood plasma containing concentrated levels of platelets and growth factors. PRP has been identified as a promising treatment for enhancing wound healing and has been used for decades in multiple medical specialties including cardiac surgery, oral surgery, ophthalmology, and orthopedic surgery. Growing evidence for multiple aesthetic surgery applications has recently been developed, particularly for hair restoration and skin rejuvenation. The goal of this article is to review the current medical literature on PRP and identify promising applications that may be integrated into a modern aesthetic surgery practice. The evidence for the use of PRP technology is rapidly expanding as a powerful therapy for select cosmetic surgery patients.

On the global scale, the market of aesthetic medicine increased in the years 2015–2016 by 8.2% on average, while in Poland by 12–15%. The reasons for the strong development of the Polish market may be related to a systematic increase in the number of affluent Poles [3], ease of access to aesthetic medicine treatments, a change in the way of thinking about this type of treatment, and increased awareness of the appearance and striving to preserve a young and beautiful look. The share of new patients in the cabinets of this industry is a proof of great interest in aesthetic medicine procedures. In 2017, new patients accounted for between 25% and 50% of all patients. From an economic point of view, current economic conditions with forecasts of further growth of the aesthetic medicine market are the premise for undertaking activity in this industry. To take full advantage of the potential of the facial cosmetic surgery, it is worth taking care of all possible aspects of its functioning — high competences of medical staff, as well as economic aspects of running such activities, including identification of possible risks in order to avoid them.

AbstractPatients undergo cosmetic surgery to improve their appearance and so, even though surgical scars cannot be avoided, they must be minimized as part of the aesthetic care process. The challenge is to make scars as inconspicuous as possible, and there are many techniques to be considered, including proper patient selection, preoperative preparation, the choice of surgical techniques, and postoperative care. The proactive management of tissue healing with prophylaxis of pathological scarring is particularly important. As the scarring process passes through multiple phases over a 6-week to 6-month period, cosmetic surgeons should not only plan to prepare patients well in advance of surgery but also be prepared to provide support to patients well after.
