A custom device measured four nasal-tip points in 50 young Chinese women under 1.5 N; mean displacement was 8.6–11.2 mm. Quantifying tip flexibility is useful, but 50 normal subjects without before-after surgery data make this a baseline tool, not evidence of clinical benefit.
In 58 infants with nasal-tip infantile hemangioma, propranolol was associated with fewer sequelae at age 3 (67.9% vs 100% untreated); low and high doses performed similarly. Start oral propranolol early at about 2 mg/kg/day, and do not let topical timolol delay it.
In a triple-blind RCT of 212 patients, combined topical and nerve-block bupivacaine reduced analgesic use and postoperative nausea/vomiting and gave the highest satisfaction. Level II evidence supports combining topical and block bupivacaine; topical alone gave the lowest pain scores but did not reduce analgesic consumption.
In 300 consecutive endoscopic facelifts with circumferential isolation of the fronto-temporal branches, no permanent nerve injury occurred, but all patients had transient frontalis weakness; median recovery was 14 days. The technique is reproducible, but universal temporary brow weakness and the lack of a control group leave the risk-benefit trade-off unproven.
A meta-analysis of 17 studies and 13,210 breasts found pooled TUBA rates of hematoma 0.2%, capsular contracture 1.7% and reintervention 2.3%, with high satisfaction but mostly retrospective single-arm data. The complication rates look excellent, but moderate bias and short follow-up make TUBA an option for scar avoidance, not a new default.
In the GLOW 5-year interim analysis, Baker III/IV capsular contracture rates in primary augmentation were 0.31% for MemoryShape, 1.42% for MemoryGel Xtra and 5.16% for MemoryGel non-Xtra; the study was not designed for direct comparison. All three rates are low, but without a head-to-head design the ranking is descriptive, not a reason to switch implants.
