L’atrophie des lèvres et de la région buccale et même péribuccale est souvent la conséquence de malformations liées à un développement insuffisant des structures au cours de l’embryogenèse, mais aussi la conséquence du vieillissement des tissus qui frappe les patients d’une façon très inégalitaire. Le principe général d’augmentation des lèvres et de la région centrofaciale passe par des injections à l’aide d’aiguilles ou de canules par perforation directe de la peau à certains endroits stratégiques, afin de pouvoir placer correctement la substance destinée à augmenter l’épaisseur des tissus. Une des conséquences néfastes de cette approche est parfois l’excès d’augmentation qui survient même de façon involontaire, car il est difficile de contrôler très exactement la quantité à injecter même avec une grande expérience. C’est pourquoi une approche alternative, qui n’est pas récente, consiste à pratiquer ces injections, dans certaines indications, non plus par voie transcutanée mais plutôt par voie intra-orale. Cette démarche a déjà été utilisée depuis une trentaine d’années par un certain nombre de chirurgiens, notamment par une école française de chirurgie et de médecine esthétique. La profondeur de l’injection présente donc un certain intérêt car elle permet de moins transformer le visage, puisque le dépôt du produit se fera au contact du périoste ou des tissus mous mais relativement loin de la peau ou des muqueuses labiales. Dans cette note technique les principes de cette injection profonde par voie intrabuccale sans détaillés, des résultats sont présentés ainsi que des complications rares.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Lip augmentation is a procedure frequently performed by cosmetic physicians, as well as cosmetic and reconstructive surgeons. Atrophy of the lips and the surrounding areas or even in the perioral region is often the result of malformations related to insufficient development of structures during embryogenesis, but also the consequence of tissue aging, which affects patients unequally. The general principle of lip and midfacial augmentation involves injections using needles or cannulas that directly puncture the skin at certain strategic points, in order to correctly position the substance intended to increase tissue thickness. One of the adverse consequences of this approach is sometimes excessive augmentation, which occurs even unintentionally, as it is difficult to precisely control the amount to be injected, even with extensive experience. This is why an alternative approach, which is not new, consists of performing these injections, in certain indications, not transcutaneously but rather intraorally. This approach has already been used for around thirty years by a number of surgeons, notably by a French school of aesthetic surgery and medicine.

In recent years, advancements in surgical techniques, the widespread adoption of minimally invasive methods, and an increasing emphasis on patient satisfaction have significantly contributed to the rapid growth of scientific productivity in this field. This study aims to evaluate scientific productivity in the field of rhinoplasty and identify global trends through a bibliometric analysis.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Materials and methods&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;This study is based on bibliometric analyses conducted using the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection database with the keyword “rhinoplasty.” The number of publications by country, citation distribution, and annual trends were evaluated. The position of a specific country in the global literature was examined and compared with leading nations. The most cited studies were analyzed to identify prominent research topics in the literature. Furthermore, VOSviewer software was used to visualize author collaborations, citation relationships, and keyword trends.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Discussion&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;Between 1975 and 2024, a total of 2735 articles on rhinoplasty have been published, accumulating 91,714 citations. The United States ranks as the leading country in terms of the number of publications, while Turkey follows with 822 publications, representing 10.4% of the global literature. This country has received 8063 citations in total, with an average of 9.81 citations per publication. Global trends indicate a significant academic increase in rhinoplasty research since the 2000s. The rise in publication numbers has gained notable momentum, particularly after 2010. However, to sustain scientific impact, enhancing international collaborations and increasing publications in high-impact journals is essential.

Surgical approaches most commonly involved SMAS plication or resection, with several studies also reporting adjunctive procedures such as lipofilling or thread lifting. Complication rates were low, with hematoma being the most frequent (2.35%). Compared with general anesthesia, local anesthesia was associated with fewer thromboembolic events and greater hemodynamic stability.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Facelift surgery under local anesthesia appears to be a safe and effective alternative to general anesthesia, offering shorter recovery times and reduced morbidity.

Autologous skin micrografts (ASMs) offers a promising solution for impaired wound healing. The technique involves mechanical disaggregation of full-thickness skin punch biopsies into micrografts, which are then injected or combined with a biological scaffold to promote healing. This retrospective case series presents our center's experience treating chronic wounds and burn sequelae using ASMs. Twelve cases involving ten patients were analyzed, with indications ranging from chronic ulcers to post-burn scar contractures. Results showed accelerated skin healing, improved skin quality, and functional recovery. The mean time to healing was 25.2 days for wound closure and 69.6 days for scar improvement. The procedure's simplicity, minimal invasiveness, and applicability in complex cases with limited donor sites reinforce its clinical potential. ASMs may represent a viable regenerative therapy in advanced wound care.</p>","PeriodicalId":55512,"journal":{"name":"Annales De Chirurgie Plastique Esthetique","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2026-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147790102","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Chronic or neglected dislocations are even more uncommon and pose considerable surgical challenges because of fibrosis, soft tissue contracture, and adaptive bony changes.</p><p><strong>Case presentation: </strong>We report the case of a 12-year-old boy who presented with a nine-year history of progressive deformity and restricted motion of the left thumb following blunt trauma with a wooden stick. Radiographs revealed a neglected volar dislocation of the thumb MCP joint with dorsal projection of the metacarpal head. Open reduction via a dorsal approach was performed under loupe magnification. Interposed fibrotic tissue and contracted structures were released, the extensor tendons were realigned, and ligamentous stability was restored. A uniplanar external fixator was applied to maintain joint congruity, followed by physiotherapy after fixator removal.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>At six months postoperatively, the patient achieved full correction of deformity, restoration of joint stability, and significant improvement in thumb motion, enabling normal daily activity.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Volar dislocation of the thumb MCP joint is extremely rare, particularly in pediatric patients. Early recognition and meticulous surgical management with soft tissue release, ligament repair, and stable fixation can yield excellent functional recovery even in long-standing cases.
