A Systematic Review on the Reinforcement Loop in Aesthetic Medicine and Surgery: The Interplay of Social Media, Self-Perception, and Repeat Procedures. Aesthetic Plast Surg 2024:10.1007/s00266-024-04016-y. [PMID: 38724639 DOI: 10.1007/s00266-024-04016-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2024] [Accepted: 03/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/23/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION This systematic review delves into the impact of social media on self-perception and the escalating interest in clinical aesthetic procedures, proposing that social media significantly influences beauty standards and increases demand for aesthetic enhancements. METHOD Following PRISMA guidelines, a mixed-method analysis of 34 articles was conducted, sourced from various databases, focusing on social media's psychological effects on clinical aesthetics decisions. The studies encompassed a broad spectrum, including qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methodologies, reflecting diverse geographical and cultural perspectives. RESULTS The quantitative analysis demonstrated a strong positive correlation between social media usage and the consideration of aesthetic procedures (r=0.45, p<0.001), indicating a significant impact. Specific findings included a large effect size (Cohen's d=0.8) for the relationship between time spent on social media and the desire for aesthetic enhancements. Individuals spending more than 3 hours per day on social media platforms were twice as likely to consider aesthetic procedures compared to those with less usage, with a 95% confidence interval indicating robustness in these findings. CONCLUSION Confirming the reinforcing effect of social media on aesthetic decision-making, this study highlights the complex interplay between digital media exposure, altered self-perception, and the increased inclination towards aesthetic procedures. It suggests a critical need for practitioners to carefully navigate the digital influence on patient's desires, reinforcing the significance of understanding psychological motivations and societal pressures in clinical aesthetics. This comprehensive analysis offers pivotal insights for clinical practice and ongoing research into social media's role in contemporary beauty standards.

Higher Responder Rates Observed With Live Participant Assessment Versus Photographic Assessment After VYC-20L Hyaluronic Acid Treatment for Chin Augmentation. Aesthet Surg J 2024; 44:527-536. [PMID: 37966371 PMCID: PMC10994201 DOI: 10.1093/asj/sjad348] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2023] [Revised: 11/03/2023] [Accepted: 11/09/2023] [Indexed: 11/16/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In an evaluator-blinded, randomized controlled trial, the hyaluronic acid soft-tissue filler VYC-20L injectable gel was safe and effective for correcting volume deficits and retrusion in the chin. OBJECTIVES The objective of this subanalysis was to compare responder rates obtained with photographic vs live assessments. METHODS Participants were randomized 3:1 to VYC-20L treatment or a 6-month, no-treatment control period followed by optional treatment. Responder rates (≥1-point improvement from baseline on the validated Allergan Chin Retrusion Scale [ACRS]) obtained with photographic assessments and live assessments at Month 6 were compared. Prespecified subgroup analyses compared responder rates by baseline ACRS severity, filler volume, cannula usage, and investigation site. RESULTS VYC-20L was effective for chin augmentation as evaluated with both live and photographic assessments. The ACRS responder rates at Month 6 were 91.8% with live assessments and 56.3% with photographic assessments. Consistently higher response rates were observed by live vs photographic assessment regardless of baseline ACRS severity, filler volume, cannula usage, and investigation site. CONCLUSIONS Live assessment of ACRS response after VYC-20L treatment resulted in higher responder rates than photographic assessment, supporting the use of live assessment for this indication to approximate real-world clinical practice.

Abstract
Nasal base aesthetics is an interesting and challenging issue that attracts the attention of researchers in recent years. With that insight, in this study, we propose a novel automatic framework (AF) for evaluating the nasal base which can be useful to improve the symmetry in rhinoplasty and reconstruction. The introduced AF includes a hybrid model for nasal base landmarks recognition and a combined model for predicting nasal base symmetry. The proposed state-of-the-art nasal base landmark detection model is trained on the nasal base images for comprehensive qualitative and quantitative assessments. Then, the deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) and multi-layer perceptron neural network (MLP) models are integrated by concatenating their last hidden layer to evaluate the nasal base symmetry based on geometry features and tiled images of the nasal base. This study explores the concept of data augmentation by applying the methods motivated via commonly used image augmentation techniques. According to the experimental findings, the results of the AF are closely related to the otolaryngologists' ratings and are useful for preoperative planning, intraoperative decision-making, and postoperative assessment. Furthermore, the visualization indicates that the proposed AF is capable of predicting the nasal base symmetry and capturing asymmetry areas to facilitate semantic predictions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND One of the most important factors in nasal base aesthetics is symmetry. In the age of social media, the expectations of rhinoplasty patients and the rate of requests for a more symmetrical nose have increased. In this article, a lateral columellar grafting technique that can be applied to augment the more defective side of the columella and obtain a more symmetrical nasal base is presented. METHODS A total of 86 patients (women, 79; men, 7) were included in this study. The surfaces of the right and left lateral margins of the columella were evaluated from the basal view at the final stage of surgery, and a lateral columellar graft was placed on the more defective side. All patients who were included in the study were assessed with the Rhinoplasty Outcome Evaluation questionnaire before and 1 year after surgery. RESULTS The median age of the patients was 28.3 years (range, 18-56 years). Eighty-two patients were primary rhinoplasty patients, and 4 patients were secondary rhinoplasty patients. The median Rhinoplasty Outcome Evaluation score was 68.3 points before surgery and 92.3 points 1 year after surgery, showing a significant increase ( P = 0.003). Patient satisfaction was found to be excellent in 93% of the included patients. CONCLUSIONS Using the lateral columellar grafting technique, greater symmetry of the columella and nostrils can be obtained by augmenting the more defective side of the lateral columellar surface.

Skin Tensioning Concept in Rhinoplasty Using a Semifixed Support Mechanism. J Craniofac Surg 2023; 34:e28-e32. [PMID: 35973124 DOI: 10.1097/scs.0000000000008894] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2022] [Accepted: 06/06/2022] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND As the skin on the nose shows outwardly, if we do not consider the volume of skin on the nose that is reduced, the results may be unsatisfactory. Although redraping the skin over a wide area may help, excess skin cannot be adequately controlled in some cases. MATERIALS AND METHODS During skin tensioning, a semifixed support mechanism was applied to keep the nasal tip stable and maintain its position while simultaneously allowing stretching and mobility in accordance with its normal function. The dorsal and infratip/columellar skin was stretched by using the support of the most projected part of the nasal tip. The skin was pulled posteriorly to obtain sufficient tensioning and excised at the columellar incision line. RESULTS Of the 94 patients who underwent skin tensioning, 82 were women, and 12 were men. The ages of the patients ranged from 18 to 59 years. Ninety-one patients were primary rhinoplasty patients, and 3 patients were secondary rhinoplasty patients. Skin tensioning was performed in 31 patients with overprojection, 24 patients with thick skin, 17 patients with low skin elasticity, 12 patients with excessive skin elasticity, 7 patients with an advanced long nose, and 3 patients with scar tissue due to previous surgery. No serious complications, either functional or aesthetic, related to skin tensioning was encountered. CONCLUSION The skin tensioning technique using a semifixed support mechanism helped to achieve a required reduction with a sufficiently defined appearance of the nose in patients with difficult skin.

Abstract
Rhinoplasty is uniquely suited to capitalize on different aspects of three-dimensional (3D) modeling technology. Currently, 3D surface imaging of preoperative and postoperative nasal structure provides a platform for better surgical planning and patient counselling as well as objective postoperative measurements. Physical nasal models using 3D printing technology can improve rhinoplasty performance intraoperatively, postoperative outcomes, together with nasal prosthetic manufacture, by tailoring to specific patient anatomy. Advances in tissue engineering using 3D-printed biocompatible scaffolds have shown excellent nasal cartilage mimicry and hold promise for increasingly versatile directed tissue regeneration in rhinoplasty and nasal reconstructive surgery. As health care innovations are expected to become increasingly common in standard rhinoplasty practices in the future, we give an account of how 3D technologies can create new opportunities to optimize surgical planning and improve overall the patient experience.

Abstract
Social media sites and platforms have grown in numbers with an enormous potential to reach and disseminate information in real time. They are impacting tremendously for better or for worse on the current practice of plastic surgery. As the demand for elective plastic surgery, in particular for aesthetic procedures, continues to rise, there is a need to determine the influence of social media advertisements and how it motivates the public to undergo cosmetic procedures. Most importantly, there is an urgent need to determine how the social media are impacting plastic surgery practice building and what is proper and efficient marketing while upholding ethics of the medical profession? A thorough PICO tool-based comprehensive literature search was conducted. Fifty-one peer-reviewed publications, 15 patient-centered, 33 provider-centered, and three combined patient/provider were identified to be relevant to the use of social media in plastic surgery and were selected for this review. Evidence on how social media influences the medical practice and helps in practice building remains scarce; nevertheless, reliance of plastic surgeons on social media to improve their practice has been increasing steadily. Social media may be a powerful tool to promote one's career. It presents, however, serious professional, legal, and ethical challenges including maintenance of professionalism and protecting patient confidentiality. If misused, it may be a quick way to end a plastic surgery practice.Level of Evidence V This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
