“…Comparing the facial appearance of MZ twins who have undergone different procedures is an ideal approach to this question. Outcomes from such efforts were undertaken by New York surgeon Dr Darrick E. Antell and colleagues (2016), who performed various face-lift procedures on four sets of MZ twins (three female and one male) and one set of MZ triplets (female). The twins ranged in age from 56 to 73 years at the time of surgery.…”

Dr Irving I. Gottesman, a colleague, friend, and long-time member of the International Society of Twin Studies passed away on June 29, 2016. His contributions to twin research and some personal reflections are presented to honor both the man and the memory. This tribute is followed by short reviews of twin research concerning differences between cosmetic surgical techniques, the rearing of preterm twins, behavioral observations of dichorionic fetal twins, and the outcomes of co-bedding twins with reference to stress reduction. Interesting and informative articles in the media describe identical co-twins who delivered infants on the same day, educational policies regarding twins in Bosnia and the United Kingdom, unusual practices of twin auctioneers, and a theatrical production, Sister, featuring identical twins in the leading roles.

“…Over the past two decades, authors of several standard textbooks have recommended MFL for parotid abscess drainage (PAD), and MBI should be performed only in case of caudally extending/locating PA ( 1 , 4 , 8 , 9 , 10 ). Minimally invasive surgical techniques result in gratifying outcomes, low complications rates, and rapid return to daily activities ( 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ). However, our literature search unveiled a truth that the recommendation on surgical approach to PA relied on Level of Evidence IV and V after the Oxford Centre of Evidence-Based Medicine (CEBM).…”

PurposeTo compare the length of hospital stay (LHS) and complications between minifacelift (MFL) and modified Blair incisions (MBI) for adult patients undergoing parotid abscess drainage (PAD). Materials and MethodsA retrospective cohort study design was utilized comprising 2 groups of healthy adult patients (American Society of Anesthesiology [ASA] status I-II) who underwent PAD during a 7-year interval. The primary predictor variable was incision type (MFL vs. MBI). The primary outcomes were LHS and adverse complications resulting from the incision type. Other study variables were grouped into demographic, clinical, microbiological, and therapeutic categories. Difference in the cohort characteristics were analyzed using appropriate descriptive and uni-and bivariate statistics. Multivariate logistic regression was used to measure the effect of the incision type had on the LHS and adverse complication rates. ResultsThe sample included 120 subjects (50% females) with a mean age of 41.7±18.3 years. Patients in the MFL group were hospitalized for 8.2±7.7 days, and the other group stayed in the hospital for 10.2±8 days (adjusted odd ratio [OR] 1.19, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 0.52 to 2.7; p=0.8). In comparison with MBI, MFL did not significantly increase complication risks in term of facial paralysis (adjusted OR 0.93, 95% CI 0.06 to 15.29; p=1.0) and necessity of re-operation (adjusted OR 0.61, 95% CI 0.1 to 3.8; p=0.7). ConclusionGiven no different LHS and complication risks, MFL can replace MBI for ASA I-II adult patients undergoing PAD.

“…1,2 In addition to traditional face-lift methods involving the excision and tightening of skin and the underlying soft tissues, 3 ancillary procedures have become paramount in achieving an optimal result. 4 Prior studies have shown no difference in aesthetic outcome with respect to face-lift technique, 5 but autologous fat grafting and ancillary procedures in facial rejuvenation are performed routinely and safely to address signs of aging and achieve a better aesthetic outcome. 6–11…”
