“…The superiority of one specific method of tissue (SMAS) manipulation over another has not been clearly determined. [21][22][23] The current focus has shifted to augmentation and redistribution of volume throughout the face (mostly using fat grafts). Little's application of the "ogee" architectural concept on facial volume in face lifting was important to our earlier understanding of volume and lift as a necessary combination.…”

“…Furthermore, the chosen three-fold randomization of photographic presentations might have benefitted from a more thorough randomization of the method of presentation or by counterbalancing the type of photographs and assessor sub-group in order to diminish the effect of the suggested training during the assessments. As the study population only included women, the conclusions drawn might not be generalized to male participants, as different characteristics are reported to influence perceived age assessment in men and women [6,20,21]. …”

Background: Epidemiological studies have reported that a higher perceived age is associated with poor health and higher mortality. However, the method used for the assessment of perceived age differs between studies with regard to age, gender, the number and occupation of assessors as well as the presentation of participants. Objective: It is not known whether the clinical experience of the assessor or photographic presentation have an influence on the assessment of perceived age, which the present study aimed to investigate. Methods: In a cross-sectional study of 460 women aged 25-93 years, 10 consultants and 10 residents were asked to estimate the age of each participant using three different photographic presentations: facial photograph, whole-body photograph, and combined facial and whole-body photographs. Data were analyzed by means of summary statistics and linear mixed models. Results: The inter-class correlation coefficient within each assessor group and photographic presentation varied from 0.66 to 0.75. Limits of agreement were in a broad range but were similar in the two assessor groups. The best inter-assessor agreement was obtained from photographs of both the face and the whole body. Intra- and inter-assessor agreements between photographic presentations were similar among both assessor groups. The accuracy in age assessment was significantly influenced by the photographic presentation but not by the clinical experience of the assessor. The difference in the mean perceived age of a participant of average age was estimated as +0.40 years (95% CI: -1.80; 2.59) for consultants versus residents, -2.05 years (95% CI: -2.90; -1.19) for facial photographs versus both facial and whole-body photographs, and -1.44 years (95% CI: -2.30; -0.58) for whole-body photographs versus both facial and whole-body photographs. A regression towards the mean age was seen. Conclusion: The assessment of perceived age was influenced by the photographic presentation but not by the clinical experience of the assessor.

“…The authors extrapolated that every 10 years of smoking aged the twin by an additional 2.5 years. 49 Proposed mechanisms include ultraviolet-activated phototoxic properties of tobacco smoke, 50 reduced collagen cross-linking and synthesis, 51 up-regulation of matrix melanoproteinases, 52 and free radical formation. 53 Although tobacco is an independent risk factor for oral and laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma, the association between smoking and skin cancer is CAPSULE SUMMARY d Tobacco use is associated with a higher incidence of postoperative complications.…”
