Abstract Medical education and training consists of a series of stepped transitions, each marked by increasing autonomy and responsibility. Perhaps the most formidable transition begins upon the completion of one’s training and stretches well into the first year of “attendinghood.” This period is often defined by colossal changes that can extend far beyond the workplace and that are largely inconceivable beforehand. These changes can have important implications for job satisfaction,...

The fungal species Candida albicans is both a member of the human microbiome and a fungal pathogen. C. albicans undergoes several different morphological transitions, including one called white-opaque switching. Here, cells reversibly switch between two states, "white" and "opaque," and each state is heritable through many cell generations. Each cell type has a distinct cellular and colony morphology and they differ in many other properties including mating, nutritional specialization, and interactions...

Day-to-day Challenges in Facial Plastic Surgery
04:23
Rhytidectomy techniques have evolved since the early 1900s. As the understanding of facial anatomy and the aging process expanded, the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) became a focal point in developing longer-lasting, natural results. Further evolution led to various approaches in repositioning the SMAS layer, including subperiosteal, composite, and deep plane rhytidectomies. This article describes the nuances of SMAS rhytidectomy, the biplanar SMAS imbrication technique, and adjuvant...

Facial aging is a multifactorial process with many articles over decades supporting various theories of varying causes. It is generally thought that aging occurs as a combination of changes in skin quality, gravitational descent of tissue with interaction of retaining ligaments on the ptotic tissue, and facial volume loss or the appearance of volume loss. The most significant cause of volume loss is skeletal remodeling and bone loss, which manifests as characteristic shadows and hollows on the face...

A thorough medical history is critical in patient selection for local anesthesia facelifting. Patients with no prior issues with dental procedures and no history of significant anxiety are better candidates. Simplifying local anesthesia mixtures and using dilute concentrations will minimize dosing errors and decrease risk of local anesthesia toxicity. Oral anxiolytics can be used with caution to minimize patient anxiety. Pulse oximetry, telemetry, and blood pressure monitoring should be performed...

In the modern era of face-lift surgery, our knowledge of facial anatomy and the advancement of technology have given the rhytidectomy surgeon the ability to deliver better than we could have conceived of years ago. This includes an advanced understanding of the anatomic basis of the aging process that occurs in the soft tissue planes of the face and neck, the superficial and deep fat compartments, and musculature of the face, that goes well beyond the discovery of the importance of the superficial...
