In 183 rhinoplasty patients (1,098 rib segments), plain radiographs detected costal cartilage calcification in 54.1%, with severe calcification peaking at age 40-49 (25.8%). A routine rib series avoids intraoperative surprises; women in their 40s carry the highest risk of severe calcification, not the oldest patients.

事实|75例鼻中隔鼻整形,27例曾做鼻中隔成形;术后6个月外观满意度更低,功能与生活质量仍改善。
点评|有鼻中隔手术史的,外观预期要提前压低;功能该做还得做,别因既往史劝退。
Among 75 rhinoseptoplasty patients, 27 (36%) had prior septoplasty and reported lower cosmetic satisfaction at 1 and 6 months, although nasal function and quality of life improved significantly. Lower the aesthetic expectation for prior-septoplasty patients, but do not let surgical history discourage a functionally indicated procedure.
This narrative review concludes that near-term nasal cartilage regeneration can enhance existing grafts and repair small contained defects, but injection-only regeneration cannot replace structural support. Growth factors, extracellular vesicles and injectable hydrogels remain largely in vitro or articular evidence; use them as graft adjuncts, not marketing claims.
In 80 deep-plane facelifts, oblique facial plus horizontal neck fixation scored highest (FACE-Q 88.4; WSRS improvement 2.4 points) versus three other vector combinations. Use different vectors for face and neck; the retrospective single-center design supports the concept, not a definitive standard.
In 682 Chinese augmentation patients, the post-pandemic cohort was older, chose larger (262.7 vs 253.2 cc) and more round implants (51.8% vs 34.9%), yet breast satisfaction declined. Better-informed, higher-spending patients are not more satisfied; shift counseling from size to expectations and long-term shape.
Of 30,579 breast implant revisions, 11.7% involved overseas-inserted devices, with higher rupture (27.0% vs 24.5%) and malposition (24.9% vs 20.5%). Cosmetic tourism shifts costs to revision surgery and public hospitals; ask overseas patients for implant records before planning.
