“This wonderful doctor did a remarkable job on my face. He is kind and very much there for his patients. I told him I didn't want to look "done", and I don't. I don't look 25, I do look a good deal younger than my 72 years. A year after I had my partial face lift, I was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer, and had a lot of chemotherapy. Chemo is pretty rough on skin. I think the reason my face didn't deteriorate as a result of the chemo, is the outstanding job that Dr. Azizzadeh did.”

Facial Nerve Considerations for the Deep Plane Facelift and Neck Lift
Facial Plastic Surgery Journal
The surgical approach to facial rejuvenation has evolved significantly over the last century. As surgeons have deepened their understanding of facial anatomy over the last half century, so have their surgical approaches to the rhytidectomy, with increasingly extensive manipulation of the underlying soft tissue in the face. While these procedures have become more comprehensive and natural in their approach, the risk of temporary facial palsy also appears to be on the rise. In this text, we…
The surgical approach to facial rejuvenation has evolved significantly over the last century. As surgeons have deepened their understanding of facial anatomy over the last half century, so have their surgical approaches to the rhytidectomy, with increasingly extensive manipulation of the underlying soft tissue in the face. While these procedures have become more comprehensive and natural in their approach, the risk of temporary facial palsy also appears to be on the rise. In this text, we review the technique for deep plane facelifts and neck contouring with an emphasis on the facial nerve anatomy and methods to preserve the intricate facial nerve network during tissue dissection and modification. Careful execution of the surgical steps involved, including deep neck contouring, SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) suspension, and skin management, is essential to achieve the authentic aesthetic outcomes that patients desire while ensuring patient safety.

Revision Rhytidectomy: Pearls and Pitfalls
Facial Plastic Surgery Journal
While rhytidectomy can yield remarkable results, some patients may subsequently require revision rhytidectomy due to either unsatisfactory outcomes from primary surgery or the natural aging process many years later. Like most other secondary plastic surgical procedures, revision rhytidectomy is a complex undertaking and fraught with potential pitfalls.

While rhytidectomy can yield remarkable results, some patients may subsequently require revision rhytidectomy due to either unsatisfactory outcomes from primary surgery or the natural aging process many years later. Like most other secondary plastic surgical procedures, revision rhytidectomy is a complex undertaking and fraught with potential pitfalls. This can be attributable to natural or postsurgical alterations that can occur with the facial skin, superficial musculoaponeurotic system/platysma muscle, and/or facial nerve landmarks. Additionally, complications such as cobra neck deformity, pixie ear deformity, and synkinesis can add an extra level of complexity to revisional surgery. Furthermore, as more surgeons are performing deep-plane facelifts and more aggressive neck procedures, the risks are further amplified in revisional surgery. In this article, we review the challenges that a facelift surgeon may face when performing revision rhytidectomy and the technical considerations to overcome these obstacles.

Reshaping the Face and Neck via the Deep Plane Approaches is Appropriate for the More Youthful as Well as the More Aged Face
Facial Plastic Surgery Journal
Rhytidectomy has witnessed significant advancements in recent years, particularly in the realms deep plane facelift and more aggressive neck contouring. As the procedures have become increasingly intricate and invasive, the imperative to develop refined tools and methodologies has risen. These tools and methods are essential not only for the evaluation of aesthetic outcomes but also for the comprehensive assessment of inherent risks and the holistic enhancement of patients' quality of life.

Wound healing complications with tranexamic acid: not the silver bullet after all
Aesthetic Surgery Journal
Tranexamic acid (TXA) has been popularized as an adjunct to decrease the risk of bleeding and subsequent bruising and edema in aesthetic surgery. The most notable risks of TXA are thrombus and seizures, which are associated with higher plasma concentrations of the acid. In an effort to mitigate these risks, surgeons have begun using TXA locally, either as a topical irrigation or mixed into the local anesthetic. Although local use is thought to be safer from a side-effect standpoint, because…
Tranexamic acid (TXA) has been popularized as an adjunct to decrease the risk of bleeding and subsequent bruising and edema in aesthetic surgery. The most notable risks of TXA are thrombus and seizures, which are associated with higher plasma concentrations of the acid. In an effort to mitigate these risks, surgeons have begun using TXA locally, either as a topical irrigation or mixed into the local anesthetic. Although local use is thought to be safer from a side-effect standpoint, because there is decreased systemic absorption, its use is not without risk. We present 4 patients who developed wound healing complications thought to be related to locally administered TXA. One patient had TXA delivered topically, and 3 patients had TXA mixed into their local anesthetic. These adverse events have not been published in the literature previously. This case report serves as a warning to other surgeons about using locally administered TXA.

Resident Burnout and Well-being in Otolaryngology and Other Surgical Specialties: Strategies for Change
Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
Moderate to high burnout has been reported in 35% to 86% of OTO-HNS residents. Among other surgical specialties, resident burnout ranges between 58% and 66% in plastics, 11% and 67% in neurosurgery, 38% and 68% in urology, and 31% and 56% in orthopedics. Highest burnout rates were seen in postgraduate year 2 residents. Factors significantly associated with burnout included hours worked (>80 h/wk), level of autonomy, exercise, and program support.

Moderate to high burnout has been reported in 35% to 86% of OTO-HNS residents. Among other surgical specialties, resident burnout ranges between 58% and 66% in plastics, 11% and 67% in neurosurgery, 38% and 68% in urology, and 31% and 56% in orthopedics. Highest burnout rates were seen in postgraduate year 2 residents. Factors significantly associated with burnout included hours worked (>80 h/wk), level of autonomy, exercise, and program support. Reported resident work hours have steadily increased: 8% of OTO-HNS residents in 2005 vs 26% in 2019 reported averaging >80 h/wk. Practical implications of resident burnout include decreased empathy, moral distress and injury, poor health, decreased quality of life, increased attrition, decreased desire to pursue fellowship, and increased likelihood of medical errors. Structured mentorship programs, wellness initiatives, and increased ancillary support have been associated with lower burnout rates and improvements in resident well-being across specialties.
Implications for practice: Addressing burnout, which is prevalent in OTO-HNS residents, is critical to improving patient care and physician well-being. Surgical specialties can share strategies to effectively address resident burnout through institutional interventions, which can be essential quality improvement initiatives, to promote well-being. -

Between 2011 and 2021, the number of OHNS programs and positions expanded less than those of PS and General Surgery. The increase in the APP ratio was significantly greater for OHNS compared to those Dermatology, Orthopedic Surgery, General Surgery and all PGY1 residency positions for both US MD and all applicants (P < .01 for each). OHNS expansion of US MD (P = .046), but not all applicants (P = .169), outgrew that of Neurosurgery.

The 2020 to 2021 cycle affected by the COVID-19 pandemic saw a continuation of the recent trend in the expanding OHNS applicant pool. OHNS remains one of the specialties with the highest APP ratio and has observed a significant growth compared to PS since 2018. Understanding and anticipating trends in residency application cycles is critical for designing processes to optimize the best fit between applicants and programs. -
End-to-Trunk Masseteric to Facial Nerve Transfer With Selective Neurectomy for Facial Reanimation
Abstract

Objective: To examine functional outcomes following end-to-trunk masseteric to facial nerve transfer in patients with chronic flaccid facial paralysis.
Design: Retrospective chart review.
Setting: Tertiary-care private practice setting.
Participants: Patients with complete unilateral facial paralysis of less than 24 months duration.
Interventions: Direct end-to-trunk masseteric to facial nerve anastomosis.
Outcome measures: Outcome measures included time to first movement, development of synkinesis, and an objective assessment of the resting tone and dynamic movement that was achieved.
Results: Patient age at the time of transfer ranged from 6 to 61. Follow-up ranged from 12 to 24 months. No patients had any perioperative complications. No patient experienced significant mass movement or synkinetic facial movement with chewing. No patient had worsened chewing or swallowing. Patients have not yet recovered significant resting tone. All patients achieved smile activity when biting down with a median (interquartile range) oral commissure excursion of 7.57 mm (5.19-9.94 mm), starting 3 to 5 months after transfer.
Conclusions: End-to-trunk masseteric to facial nerve transfer is a safe and effective procedure. Patients had rapid reinnervation with good excursion and achieved a natural appearing smile. The rehabilitated smile appears better than that achieved with hypoglossal-facial nerve transfer. The procedure can be performed coincident with cross-facial nerve grafting, and in some cases may produce dynamic facial movement that obviates the need for free muscle transfer. -

This article examines technical considerations and outcomes of this procedure.
METHODS: A retrospective review was conducted of patients who underwent modified selective neurectomy of buccal and cervical branches of the facial nerve performed by a single surgeon over a 4½-year period. House-Brackmann facial grading scores, electronic clinician-graded facial function scale, and onabotulinumtoxinA (botulinum toxin type A) dosages were examined before and after the procedure.
RESULTS: Sixty-three patients underwent modified selective neurectomy between June 20, 2013, and August 12, 2017. There were no serious complications. The revision rate was 17 percent. Temporary oral incompetence was reported in seven patients (11 percent) postoperatively. A statistically significant improvement was achieved in electronic clinician-graded facial function scale analysis of nasolabial fold depth at rest, oral commissure movement with smile, nasolabial fold orientation with smile, nasolabial depth with smile, depressor labii inferioris lower lip movement, midfacial synkinesis, mentalis synkinesis, platysmal synkinesis, static score, dynamic score, synkinesis score, periocular score, lower face and neck score, and midface and smile score. There was a significant decrease in botulinum toxin type A dosage and House-Brackmann score after surgery.
CONCLUSION: Modified selective neurectomy of the buccal and cervical divisions of the facial nerve is an effective long-term treatment for smile dysfunction in patients with post-facial paralysis synkinesis. -

Objective To describe and evaluate a surgical technique consisting of a closed canthal suspension and true lower eyelid retractor recession to address LER in the setting of orbicularis weakness.
Conclusions and Relevance Recent publications have demonstrated the utility of closed canthal suspension and true lower eyelid retractor recession as separate procedures. In the setting of LER with reduced orbicularis strength and/or tone, the techniques can be combined to recess the lower eyelid without disturbing the already compromised lower orbicularis muscle (minimally invasive, orbicularis-sparing, lower eyelid recession). The combination technique is safe and effective and yields excellent results.Other authorsSee publication -
