RESUMO

Following the advent of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1RA), subsequent unintended effects such as accelerated facial aging and altered skin health have been noted. This review delves deeper into the causative underlying mechanisms and provides insights into the intricate relationship between GLP-1RA, adipose tissue, and premature facial aging, thereby highlighting the need for a nuanced understanding of their effects on facial alterations and skin health. Studies exploring the potential effects of GLP-1RA on facial alterations and offering insights into the possible underlying mechanisms, causes and clinical implications were included. The accelerated facial aging and altered skin health observed in GLP-1RA patients appears to be multifactorial, involving loss of dermal and subcutaneous white adipose tissue, altered proliferation and differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), and impacts on the production and secretion of hormonal and metabolic factors. These changes compromise the structural integrity and barrier function of the skin and may lead to diminished facial muscle mass, further exacerbating the appearance of aging. The insights presented call for a paradigm shift in the clinical management of facial changes induced by GLP-1RA, with a focus on treatment strategies aimed at targeting ADSC stimulation. These include autologous fat transfers to reintroduce cells rich in ADSCs for rejuvenation, composite fat grafting combining autologous fat with/without stromal vascular fraction, and the strategic use of soft tissue fillers for volume restoration and biostimulation. This review highlights the potential role of GLP-1RA in modulating adipose tissue dynamics, contributing to accelerated aging through metabolic, structural, and hormonal pathways.

RESUMO

Cellulite in the proximal lower extremities is a reported concern among many adult females. The unsightly appearance of cellulite leads many affected individuals to seek treatment by trained specialists. The objective of this review is to provide the reader with an update on new and innovative therapies for cellulite including various treatment combinations to maximize therapeutic outcomes, and strategies for minimizing adverse events. The availability of new technologies and the results from recent clinical trials provide additional tools and data to consider when creating treatment plans for cellulite patients. This update to previous treatment recommendations is based on the most recent developments in cellulite management including the personal experiences of the authors with an emphasis on injectable enzymes, acoustic subcision, targeted verifiable subcision, and biostimulators. Formal clinical studies are warranted to compare various treatment modalities and further investigate combination regimens.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The hands are the second most common body part visible after the face. In the aging hand, the dorsum loses volume, becomes uneven, veins become more prominent, and there is an increase in spots and wrinkles. OBJECTIVE: To determine the effects of large-particle hyaluronic acid filler injection into the dorsal hand on first impressions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ten subjects underwent filler injections in the bilateral dorsal hands with large-particle hyaluronic acid filler. Photographs of the hands were taken at baseline and 2 weeks after the optimal correction result. A survey to evaluate first impressions was then completed by blinded evaluators on defined categories of perception. RESULTS: A total of 209 evaluators completed the first impression questionnaire. Overall, 10,032 individual assessments of first impressions were completed. There was a significant improvement in mean first impressions in all categories of perception and overall first impression scores. CONCLUSION: Cosmetic treatments to the hands is a growing field with the use of hyaluronic acid fillers to restore volume, decrease wrinkles, and improve the appearance of prominent veins. This study revealed an improvement in first impression scores in all categories following treatment with large-particle hyaluronic acid filler to the dorsal hands.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Selfies and filtered selfies are becoming more prevalent throughout society and in the facial plastic surgery clinic. The term "Snapchat dysmorphia" has been used to describe patients seeking procedures to look like their selfie or filtered selfie. This is particularly frequent in the Millennial population, aged 22 to 37 years. OBJECTIVES: The authors sought to determine the effects on first impression from different photograph types: selfies, filtered selfies, a rear-facing smartphone camera, and a digital camera (DC). We hypothesize that the DC photographs will have the highest rated first impressions among evaluators despite the popularity of selfies and filtered selfies. METHODS: This study included 240 evaluators and 4 patients each completing the 4 different photograph types. The evaluators completed a survey rating first impression on various measures of success for each photograph type. RESULTS: A total of 960 first impressions were recorded for each of the 8 subscales, yielding 7680 individual assessments of first impression. The DC photograph was found to have the highest first impression scores among the 4 photograph types. There was no statistical difference between selfies and filtered selfies. The rear-facing smartphone camera received the lowest first impression scores. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings indicate that the standard DC photograph taken during a preoperative consultation has higher first impressions than selfies or filtered selfies. Although "Snapchat dysmorphia" may continue to be a growing trend in the near future, our findings provide important information to discuss with patients in the preoperative visit to set realistic expectations.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The emergence of COVID-19 led rapidly to one of the most severe disease outbreaks in modern history. This caused many aesthetic practices to close temporarily, providing a unique opportunity to evaluate the impact of neurotoxin use in the setting of an ongoing pandemic. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to examine whether administration of onabotulinumtoxinA (BOTOX Cosmetic, Allergan plc, Dublin, Ireland) to regular users synergistically amplifies the elevation in mood/happiness, self-satisfaction with appearance, and overall satisfaction in the context of the ongoing pandemic. METHODS: A randomized, single-blind, crossover study was designed to evaluate the impact of neurotoxin treatment in the upper third of the face on mood, self-satisfaction with appearance, and overall satisfaction. The placebo group crossed over to treatment after 1 month. Surveys evaluating patient happiness, self-satisfaction with appearance, and overall efficacy were completed by both groups, and again by the placebo group following crossover to treatment. RESULTS: Forty-five subjects were enrolled: 30 in the treatment group and 15 in the control/crossover group. The placebo group demonstrated no change in happiness or self-satisfaction in appearance until crossover to the treatment group. Both groups, once receiving onabotulinumtoxinA, reported increased happiness, self-satisfaction with appearance, and overall treatment satisfaction. CONCLUSIONS: OnabotulinumtoxinA treatment to the upper face in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic was found to increase patient happiness, self-satisfaction with appearance, and overall treatment satisfaction.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: PrabotulinumtoxinA is a 900-kDa botulinum toxin type A produced by Clostridium botulinum. OBJECTIVES: The authors sought to investigate the safety of prabotulinumtoxinA for treatment of glabellar lines. METHODS: This was a multicenter, open-label, repeat-dose, 1-year phase II safety study. Adults with moderate to severe glabellar lines at maximum frown, as independently assessed by both investigator and patient on the validated 4-point photonumeric Glabellar Line Scale (0 = no lines, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe), were enrolled. On day 0, patients received an initial treatment (IT) of 20 U prabotulinumtoxinA (4 U/0.1 mL final vacuum-dried formulation injected into 5 glabellar sites). On and after day 90, patients received a repeat treatment (RT) if their Glabellar Line Scale score was ≥2 at maximum frown by investigator assessment. Safety outcomes were evaluated throughout the study. RESULTS: The 570 study patients received a median total dose of 60 U, that is, 3 treatments. Sixty-one patients (10.7%) experienced adverse events (AEs) assessed as possibly study drug related; 6.5% experienced study drug-related AEs after the IT. With each RT, progressively lower percentages of patients experienced study drug-related AEs. Eight patients (1.4%) experienced study drug-related AEs of special interest: 5 experienced eyelid ptosis (0.9%), 3 eyebrow ptosis (0.5%), 1 blepharospasm (0.2%), and 1 blurred vision (0.2%). Seven patients (1.2%) experienced serious AEs, but none were study drug related. A total of 4060 serum samples were tested for antibotulinum toxin antibodies; no seroconversion was observed. CONCLUSIONS: The safety of RTs of 20 U of prabotulinumtoxinA for moderate to severe glabellar lines was confirmed in this second phase II study based on a broad range of outcomes.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Excess submental fat (SMF) can cause submental fullness resulting in negative perceptions of individuals. However, the impact of SMF on perceptions of social traits has not been well studied. OBJECTIVE: To characterize the impact of SMF on external value judgments in adults in the United States. METHODS: Respondents completed an online survey in which they reacted to statements about individuals with varying grades of SMF. Attributes were rated on a scale from 0 to 100 with higher scores for more positive attributes. RESULTS: Similar proportions of respondents (N = 1996) indicated that women and men with double chins were less attractive than those without (91% and 90%, respectively). A double chin was more likely to be noticed on a woman than on a man (78% of respondents). With increasing SMF, individuals were perceived as significantly less likeable, intelligent, happy, active, and easygoing. Those with greater amounts of SMF were rated as significantly less attractive than those with less SMF. For all attributes, male respondents rated all individuals lower than female respondents did. CONCLUSION: Results from this study provide further evidence of negative perceptions of individuals with SMF. Aesthetics of the submental area, especially SMF, likely impact the overall assessment of attractiveness and social attributes.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Blind individuals have demonstrated the ability to detect danger and facial expressions without conscious awareness of visual stimuli. These embodied sensations are believed to be the result of primitive neural networks refined by evolutionary adaptations. We postulate that similar embodied sensations may have evolved to allow blind individuals to perceive beauty. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the visually blind can detect physical beauty. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This observational study consisted of 8 blind and 10 nonblind test subjects and 6 models that were categorized into predetermined beauty categories. Test subjects were individually asked to rate 6 models on a 1 to 10 numerical beauty scale. This process was repeated in both groups while blindfolded (masked). All groups' mean model beauty scores underwent multivariate and univariate analysis. RESULTS: All groups rated preselected (greater than 8) more beautiful models, higher except for the masked, nonblind group. Intraclass correlation was good in the blind raters with a score of 0.751, whereas poor in the nonblind masked raters with a score of 0.458. CONCLUSION: This is the first pilot study demonstrating with supporting evidence that blind individuals can detect beauty and supports that beauty may rely on primal forms of messaging that are subconsciously appreciated.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: This is the first study to evaluate the effect of premaxillary filler injection on nasal tip projection, upper lip projection, and upper lip vermilion height. OBJECTIVES: The primary objective of this study was to analyze the change in nasal tip projection (measured by the Goode ratio) and the change in upper lip projection (measured by the Z angle) following premaxillary hyaluronic acid injection. A secondary objective was to measure the change in upper lip vermilion height. We hypothesized that treated subjects will show an increase in nasal tip projection, upper lip projection, and upper lip vermilion height. METHODS: Twenty volunteer patients with signs of perioral aging or poor upper lip projection were enrolled in this prospective cohort study and underwent premaxillary hyaluronic acid filler injection between November 2017 and June 2018. Nasal tip projection, upper lip projection, and upper lip vermilion height were assessed from baseline and posttreatment photographs based on the Goode ratio, Z angle, and lip vermilion height ratio, respectively. RESULTS: No significant change was noted between pre- and posttreatment Goode ratio measurements (P = 0.841). There was a significant decrease in Z angle and therefore significant increase in upper lip projection with treatment (P < 0.001). The lip vermilion height ratio demonstrated a trend of increased upper lip vermilion height but this did not achieve statistical significance (P = 0.561). CONCLUSIONS: Premaxillary filler treatment resulted in a significant increase in upper lip projection. Premaxillary filler injection when performed in a safe manner is a valuable treatment option for perioral rejuvenation.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Small-particle hyaluronic acid filler is approved for lip augmentation and correction of perioral rhytides. Treatment with this product may improve facial aesthetics, projected first impression, and self-perception of mood. OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of perioral rejuvenation with hyaluronic acid on patient perception of mood and projected first impression. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Seventeen subjects underwent perioral rejuvenation treatment with small-particle hyaluronic acid filler. Each subject underwent photography and completed 2 surveys measuring self-perception of mood before treatment and after achieving an optimal cosmetic result. Aesthetic improvement with treatment was assessed using the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale and the Oral Commissure Severity and Perioral Line Severity scales. Seventeen hundred blinded evaluators rated pre-treatment and post-treatment photographs of the subjects using a First Impressions Questionnaire. RESULTS: Perioral filler treatment significantly improved pre-treatment and post-treatment scores for happiness within the Happiness Measures Scale. This treatment was found to significantly improve projected first impression across all categories. CONCLUSION: Small-particle hyaluronic acid filler treatment for perioral rejuvenation is an effective method for improving physical appearance as well as first impressions. Larger studies are necessary to verify whether perioral rejuvenation with hyaluronic acid offers enhanced self-perception of mood.

RESUMO

Minimally invasive aesthetic procedures with hyaluronic acid filler have increased drastically since their development in 1989. Patients' desires to avoid surgery and achieve rapid results with minimal recovery led to a transformation in facial plastic surgery, demanding that aesthetic surgeons become proficient in nonsurgical augmentation. Over the years, new hyaluronic acid filler products were developed with different intrinsic properties, allowing clinicians to better treat different deficiencies of the face, reduce postprocedural pain, and optimize outcomes. The purpose of this article is to review the current state of nonsurgical facial plastic surgery with the superficial dermal filler, hyaluronic acid.

RESUMO

As individuals age, distinct anatomical changes of the bone and soft tissue result in the development of rhytids in the perioral region. Most notably, the oral commissures turn downward, creating the appearance of a perpetual frown and adding years to the facial appearance. The purpose of this article is to review the anatomical changes associated with perioral aging as well as discuss potential treatment options for perioral rejuvenation particularly at the level of the oral commissures. Lastly, this article covers the senior author's technique for improving oral commissures and restoring youthful appearance of the perioral region.

RESUMO

Cosmetic procedures, especially cosmetic minimally invasive treatments, are rising in popularity, despite societal perception that these procedures may not improve patient health. The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic review and controlled meta-analysis to compare the effects of cosmetic procedures and antidepressant treatment on health-related quality-of-life improvement. The PubMed database was queried in two independent searches to identify peer-reviewed cosmetic and antidepressant articles published between 1996 and 2017 that prospectively assessed the impact of the treatment on quality of life. All results were screened using defined exclusion and inclusion criteria and data were extracted using a standardized protocol. The meta-analysis was performed using a random-effects model. Five of 2,788 cosmetic studies and eight of 2,312 antidepressant studies met all inclusion criteria and utilized the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) measure. Except for the physical functioning scale, when compared with the cosmetic studies, antidepressant studies had significantly lower median baseline and post-treatment follow-up scale scores with larger median score improvement (p < 0.05). Positive effect sizes following treatment were observed for all eight SF-36 scales (range: 0.32-1.16; p < 0.05). This meta-analysis provides evidence that cosmetic procedures objectively improve a patient's health-related quality of life. While antidepressant studies exhibited greater SF-36 score improvement except for the physical functioning scale, both treatment groups demonstrated the greatest improvement in mental health and role emotional scales. As previously suggested, a disconnect exists between score improvement and clinical improvement due to baseline severity, ceiling effect, and regression to the mean effects.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Although non-surgical treatment options for facial rejuvenation are well-established, the literature remains limited regarding the combined effect of topical skin treatment with filler and neurotoxin on patient appearance and satisfaction. The objectives of this study were to assess the impact of a skin rejuvenation therapy in combination with neurotoxin or hyaluronic acid filler injection on skin quality and general aesthetic improvement as well as on short-term self-esteem.

METHODS: From 2015 to 2017, 20 female patients were enrolled in our study and were randomized into two groups. Patients in Group A used a basic skin care regimen following hyaluronic acid filler and neurotoxin treatment, while those in Group B utilized the Nu-Derm® skin care system (Obagi Medical Products, Inc) afterwards. Each subject and the principal investigator filled out various assessments pre- and post-treatment to evaluate for change in skin quality (Fitzpatrick Wrinkle Assessment Scale [FWAS] and Skin Quality Assessments [SQA]), aesthetic appearance (Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale [GAIS]), patient satisfaction (Subject Satisfaction Assessment [SSA]), and self-esteem (State Self-Esteem Scale [SSES]).

RESULTS: Subjects in both treatment groups demonstrated significant improvement in skin quality, as illustrated in the change in FWAS and SQA scores, at 12 weeks after initiating full facial rejuvenation treatment. However, there were no significant differences in FWAS and SQA ratings between the treatment groups. Regarding aesthetic appearance, a statistically significant difference in GAIS scores between Groups A and B was observed at 6 weeks after treatment only. In evaluating for patient satisfaction and self-esteem, there were no significant differences in SSA and SSES ratings over time within each treatment group or between the treatment groups.

CONCLUSIONS: Our study confirms that facial rejuvenation therapy involving hyaluronic acid filler and neurotoxin injections combined with a topical skin treatment regimen leads to improvement in skin quality and aesthetic appearance as well as to patient satisfaction. Additional larger studies are needed to better delineate the most ideal combination facial rejuvenation therapy for optimizing patient appearance and satisfaction.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Fibrin sealant application in rhytidectomy has previously demonstrated a reduction in adverse events and drainage volume. Fibrin sealant offers multiple potential benefits including decreasing downtime, reducing complication rates, and improving patient satisfaction. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of ARTISS [fibrin sealant (human)] in external rhinoplasty. METHODS: Nine healthy participants between the ages of 18 and 50 seeking external rhinoplasty completed this study. All subjects were randomized into control and treatment groups and then underwent external rhinoplasty, with only the treatment group receiving ARTISS [fibrin sealant (Human)] during surgery. Photographs were taken before surgery and 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after surgery and used in a blinded assessment of recovery time and esthetic improvement with ecchymosis and satisfaction scales. Subject recovery time, downtime, and self-esteem were evaluated at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month and 6 months after surgery. Recovery time was determined by live assessment of edema and ecchymosis using categorical scales. Subject downtime was assessed through a 30-day patient diary and a downtime questionnaire. Subject self-esteem was evaluated with the Heatherton & Polivy State Self-Esteem Scale. The degree of technical ease with the product was determined by the treating investigator with a 10-cm Visual Analog Scale. RESULTS: Patients treated with ARTISS intra-operatively reported significantly higher self-esteem 1 month and 6 months following external rhinoplasty. The ARTISS Easyspray™ Spray Set was rated as technically easy to administer. CONCLUSION: The use of ARTISS fibrin sealant in external rhinoplasties is a safe and easy method and may enhance patient self-esteem. Larger studies are warranted to either verify or challenge the validity of our findings. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV: This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: ATX-101 (deoxycholic acid injection) is the only injectable drug approved for submental fat (SMF) reduction. In the phase 3 REFINE trials, adults with moderate or severe SMF who were dissatisfied with the appearance of their face/chin were eligible to receive up to 6 treatment sessions with ATX-101 (2 mg/cm2) or placebo. Primary and secondary endpoints, evaluated at 12 weeks after last treatment, significantly favored ATX-101 supporting its efficacy for reducing SMF and the psychological impact of SMF, and increasing satisfaction with the appearance of the face/chin. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ATX-101 by treatment session. METHODS: This post hoc analysis used pooled data from the REFINE trials to evaluate efficacy endpoints and adverse events following each treatment session to further characterize the ATX-101 treatment response and safety profile. RESULTS: In both treatment groups, mean injection volume declined over subsequent treatment sessions, though more markedly in the ATX-101 group. The majority of ATX-101-treated patients achieved a ≥1-grade improvement in SMF within 2 to 4 treatment sessions based on either clinician or patient assessment. Furthermore, 19.1% of ATX-101-treated patients (vs 3.9% of placebo-treated patients) received fewer than 6 treatment sessions owing to patient satisfaction with treatment or lack of sufficient SMF for further treatment. In both treatment groups, the incidence/severity of common injection-site adverse events declined over subsequent treatment sessions. CONCLUSIONS: Although up to 6 treatment sessions were permitted in the REFINE trials, most ATX-101-treated patients achieved an improvement in SMF within 2 to 4 treatment sessions. Level of Evidence: 3.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Rosacea has a variable presentation. Whereas the pathophysiology may differ, erythema, and flushing are the most consistent findings in all patients.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of incobotulinumtoxinA in reducing the severity of rosacea symptoms.

METHODS: Nine subjects with erythematotelangiectactic or papulopustular rosacea were randomized in 2 groups. Subjects in Group 1 (n=4) received up to a total of 20 U of incobotulinumtoxinA in the affected area (across both cheeks). Subjects in Group 2 (n=5) were injected with equal volumes of a saline solution. Rosacea Clinical Scores and subject satisfaction were evaluated at baseline and at 1, 4, 12, and 16 weeks post-treatment. At week 16, both groups were injected with incobotulinumtoxinA. Follow-up visits were performed at 1 and 4 weeks post-retreatment.

RESULTS: Patients in Group 1 exhibited reduction in the primary features of rosacea within 4 weeks of treatment with incobotulinumtoxinA. Consistent with this observation, patients in Group 2 (who had received the placebo in the first arm without significant changes to their symptoms) exhibited reductions in all of the primary and some of the secondary features upon treatment with incobotulinumtoxinA.

CONCLUSIONS: IncobotulinumtoxinA may be a safe and effective agent to reduce the severity of rosacea symptoms and increase patient satisfaction.

RESUMO

In 2015, ATX-101 (deoxycholic acid injection; Kybella in the United States and Belkyra in Canada; Kythera Biopharmaceuticals, Inc., Westlake Village, CA [an affiliate of Allergan plc, Dublin, Ireland]) was approved as a first-in-class injectable drug for improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe convexity or fullness associated with submental fat. ATX-101 has been evaluated in a clinical development program that included 18 Phase 1 to 3 studies supporting the current indication. Since 2007, the toxicity and safety profiles of ATX-101 have been characterized in numerous preclinical studies, its pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and optimal treatment paradigm have been defined in multiple Phase 1 and 2 studies, and its efficacy and clinical safety have been confirmed in 4 large Phase 3 trials (2 conducted in Europe and 2 in the United States and Canada [REFINE-1 and REFINE-2]). As subcutaneous injection of deoxycholic acid has been shown to cause adipocytolysis, the reduction in submental fat achieved after ATX-101 treatment is expected to be long lasting. This prediction is confirmed by data from long-term follow-up studies of up to 4 years after last treatment with ATX-101, which demonstrate that the treatment response is maintained over time in most subjects. ATX-101 offers a durable, minimally invasive alternative to liposuction and surgery for addressing submental fullness.
