In 226 consecutive primary open rhinoplasties, the superficial nasal SMAS was preserved as a SOON muscle flap and re-secured over the tip framework, with reduced dead space and columellar retraction over 8 months to 3 years of follow-up. Dead space is an under-recognized driver of columellar retraction and a flat infratip; re-draping a vascularized SMAS flap is a sensible fix, but the reported benefit is the surgeon's subjective observation with no objective measurement.
Among 1,591 Saudi adults, 26% were considering or had undergone rhinoplasty; female sex raised the odds (OR 7.76) while higher income lowered the odds of exploring surgery by 67% (OR 0.33). Religious concerns were the leading stated reason for refusal and nasal-facial mismatch the most feared complication, so the first consult should surface the patient's objections before any technique talk.
In 220 consecutive facelifts, 96.36% received dexamethasone plus ondansetron, yet 62.27% still developed PONV and 49.09% vomited within 24 hours. Dual prophylaxis still failed in six of ten patients and the Apfel score did not predict it (p=0.262); concurrent blepharoplasty carried an OR of 5.67, and satisfaction collapsed to 2.19% versus 81.93% in those with PONV.
All 13 publications appeared in a single journal; both clinical studies carried selection bias and author conflicts of interest, no independent group replicated the result, and the one unconflicted laboratory study was not supportive. Hypochlorous acid irrigation rests on conflicted single-group data with no identified causative organism, so it should not be sold to patients as proven contracture prevention.
Across 19 studies and 1,076 breasts, single-stage nipple-sparing mastectomy with concurrent mastopexy showed partial NAC necrosis in 5.9%, total NAC necrosis in 0.9% and mastectomy flap necrosis in 3.1%. Single-stage surgery is defensible in well-selected ptotic patients, but these pooled rates come from highly selected series and do not license the technique when flap perfusion is marginal.
