    Abstract: In recent years, more Chinese surgeons have left other fields to enter plastic surgery. The factors influencing this respe-cialization have not been elicited. The authors aim to elucidate Chinese surgeons’ experience and career satisfaction in this specialty change. Between July and September 2020, the authors conducted an online survey of nonplastic surgeons who received plastic surgery training at an academic center. The survey evaluated their motivation for pursuing their field, practice patterns, and career satisfaction. Responses were compared those who respecialized in plastic surgery with those who did not. A total of 251 nonplastic surgeons completed the survey. The most frequent reasons for pursuing plastic surgery were lifestyle (61.1%), desire to help others (44.4%), and higher compensation (37.3%). Among those who changed fields, employment in academic centers declined from 85% to 51.7%, 70% devoted at least half of their practice to aesthetic surgery, and the median nights on call decreased from 1.54 to 0.38 per week after specializing in plastic surgery. Overall career satisfaction in plastic surgery was significantly higher compared with their former specialties (78.3% versus 28.3%, P 0.05). The authors’ study showed that outflow of surgeons from other specialties to plastic surgery is mainly due to burnout, which erodes physicians’ satisfaction level and the quality of care they are able to provide. The authors highlight the need for reducing burnout in other surgical fields as well as rigorous plastic and aesthetic surgery training for those changing fields to ensure high-quality patient care.

    Abstract: Ocular–oral synkinesis refers to the unintended contraction of the perioral muscles during voluntary eye closure. This phenomenon can either be congenital or occasionally develop during recovery from facial palsy. In this study, we report a case of ocular–oral synkinesis without facial palsy after trauma.

    Abstract: LY01005 (Goserelin acetate sustained-release microsphere injection) is a modified gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist injected monthly. This phase III trial study aimed to evaluated the efficacy and safety of LY01005 in Chinese patients with prostate cancer. Methods: We conducted a randomized controlled, open-label, non-inferiority trial across 49 sites in China. This study included 290 patients with prostate cancer who received either LY01005 or goserelin implants every 28 days for three injections. The primary efficacy endpoints were the percentage of patients with testosterone suppression ≤50 ng/dL at day 29 and the cumulative probability of testosterone ≤50 ng/dL from day 29 to 85. Non-inferiority was prespecified at a margin of -10%. Secondary endpoints included significant castration (≤20 ng/dL), testosterone surge within 72 h following repeated dosing, and changes in luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and prostate specific antigen levels. Results: On day 29, in the LY01005 and goserelin implant groups, testosterone concentrations fell below medical-castration levels in 99.3% (142/143) and 100% (140/140) of patients, respectively, with a difference of -0.7% (95% confidence interval [CI], -3.9% to 2.0%) between the two groups. The cumulative probabilities of maintaining castration from days 29 to 85 were 99.3% and 97.8%, respectively, with a between-group difference of 1.5% (95% CI, -1.3% to 4.4%). Both results met the criterion for non-inferiority. Secondary endpoints were similar between groups. Both treatments were well-tolerated. LY01005 was associated with fewer injection-site reactions than the goserelin implant (0% vs . 1.4% [2/145]). Conclusion: LY01005 is as effective as goserelin implants in reducing testosterone to castration levels, with a similar safety profile. Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04563936.

    Abstract: The skin-tarsus-skin and orbicularis-levator fixation approaches are the 2 most applied techniques for double-eyelid blepharoplasty in China. However, both approaches have their own disadvantages. To achieve stable and dynamic upper eyelid creases, we take the merits of the 2 techniques. In this study, our orbicularis-tarsus-orbital septum fixation technique is introduced and evaluated. Methods: By transversely opening and turning down the anterior orbital septum, we created the septum roll anchored to the tarsus and the pretarsal muscular flap. As the motion transmitter, the roll could receive the pulling power of the levator aponeurosis transmitted to the tarsus and the septum respectively. With the help of the skin-septum roll-skin sutures, the roll passed on the pulling power directly to the pretarsal skin and thus the upper eyelid crease was formed. Results: This study identified 105 Chinese patients (210 eyes) who underwent this technique in our department between September 2020 and May 2021. The follow-up ranged from 7 to 15 months. 90, 6, and 7 patients were satisfied, somewhat satisfied, and somewhat unsatisfied with the postoperative outcome, respectively. The satisfaction rate was 91.43% (96/105). Two patients were unsatisfied with the outcome, including 1 case of bilateral crease disappearance and 1 case of sunken upper eyelid. Conclusions: The orbicularis-tarsus-orbital septum fixation technique is safe and effective for double-eyelid blepharoplasty. This technique helps to form stable upper eyelid creases. Meanwhile, it is easy to achieve ideal curve and symmetry. By preserving the pretarsal tissue and using the orbital septum, sunken scar formation can be avoided.

    Abstract: Type 4 Parry-Romberg syndrome (PRS) affects multiple facial esthetic units involving many tissue types, requiring both bone and soft tissue restoration and requiring different surgical procedures over a long period of time. To date, the timing and sequence of these operations remains controversial. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed to introduce our surgical management algorithm for type 4 PRS and to evaluate its safety and efficacy according to long-term follow-up results. Results: Six Chinese patients (5 females and 1 male) fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The follow-up period ranged from 23 to 90 months (mean 51.83 mo). All patients were satisfied with the improvement in facial appearance after staged bone and soft tissue reconstruction. No major complications were reported except for 1 case of infection after Medpor implantation. Conclusions: For severe PRS, both bone and soft tissue reconstruction is recommended. Enlargement of the bony framework provides a good foundation for subsequent soft tissue restoration. Alloplastic implants in the maxilla can be problematic if the patient has undergone either a zygomatic or maxillary osteotomy. The anterolateral thigh adipofascial flap is a reliable choice for large soft tissue deficits in type 4 PRS. We hope that reporting our surgical management algorithm with long-term follow-up results will improve the personalized treatment of these patients.

    Abstract: Augmentation rhinoplasty has gained popularity in China in the past decades and nasion profile is a key variable in aesthetic outcomes. The nasion is the deepest portion of the nasofrontal groove and its aesthetic preferences vary between different ethnic groups. At the time of this writing, there is limited research about ideal nasion measurements in the Chinese population. Therefore, we conducted an online survey of plastic surgeons and the public through social media. Participants were asked to rank nasion images according to their preferences. Images were created from a 3-dimensional scan of a Chinese Han female and modified to show various dimensions of nasion height, position, and forehead height. Nasion preferences were compared by age, sex, ethnicity, occupation, and whether had a history of plastic surgery. There were 777 respondents, including 461 (59.3%) women and 74 (9.5%) plastic surgeons. Nasion height of 8 and 10 mm ranked highest among all demographic groups. All respondents preferred nasion position to be level with the center of the pupil and forehead height of 4 mm above the nasion. Our study showed that the ideal Chinese nasion is in line with baseline ethnic characteristics. Therefore, plastic surgeons must be aware of these nasion preferences to guide preoperative discussions and achieve satisfactory outcomes.

    Abstract: Facial liposuction is a popular and reliable procedure for patients with subcutaneous fat accumulation pursuing the ideal face shape. However, complications like irregularities and asymmetry are still problems for plastic surgeons. To lower the incidence of the above complications, we developed the “subzone-counting” method. In this study, this technique was introduced and evaluated. Methods: By several lines all parallel to the earlobe-mouth corner line, the liposuction area was subdivided into several subzones. With consistent negative pressure, the paths of the cannula trip in all subzones were also parallel to the earlobe-mouth corner line. An objective index could be obtained by counting the number of aspiration in every subzone. Based on this index, the real-time adjustment was made to achieve smoothness and symmetry. Results: This study identified 32 Chinese patients who accepted this method between January 2019 and January 2021. The follow-up ranged from 6 to 44 months. Twenty-nine and 3 patients were satisfied and somewhat satisfied with the postoperative outcome, respectively. No patient was unsatisfied with the outcome. And no major complication was reported. Conclusions: The “subzone-counting” method is safe and effective for facial liposuction. The approach helps intraoperative judgment and adjustment. According to the real-time counting results, contour smoothness and bilateral symmetry can be easily achieved and less dependent on the surgeon’s experience.

    Abstract: The multiple toothpick-shaped costal cartilage (MTCC) injection technique was introduced as an improvement based on the free diced costal cartilage (FDCC) injection technique for augmentation rhinoplasty. However, radix irregularities may occur when using the MTCC technique. Considering that the FDCC grafts are easier to shape at the nasal radix, we adopted a combination method of the 2 techniques to achieve natural and smooth contour. Methods: Four patients accepted this method for augmentation rhinoplasty. Through a unilateral marginal incision, the costal cartilage grafts were injected for nasal augmentation at the subperiosteal plane. The FDCC grafts and the MTCC grafts were used for nasal radix and dorsum augmentation, respectively. Nasal contour was adjusted by external shaping. The follow-up ranged from 24 to 43 months. Results: All patients were satisfied with the surgical outcome. There were no major complications occurred during the follow-up. One patient underwent rasping revision due to her own beauty-appreciation changes. Conclusions: The combination method can take advantages of the FDCC and MTCC injection techniques. It can effectively lower the incidence of contour irregularities and graft displacement. Meanwhile, it is easy to perform without special procedure, and is time-saving and cartilage-saving.
