Among the most popular techniques are the administration of botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) and dermal fillers. This article delves into the rationale and benefits of preparing the face with BoNT-A to weaken depressor muscles before proceeding with dermal filler injections. This sequential approach not only enhances patient outcomes but also improves procedural safety and patient satisfaction while reducing the chances of needing filler. This article reviews the anatomy, scientific evidence, and clinical implications supporting this innovative approach while shedding light on the potential for revolutionizing facial aesthetic procedures. With advanced applications of BoNT-A, it is possible to slim round faces, reduce jowling, create hollowing in some patients by obliterating masseters, slim the parotid, extend the chin, and more.</p>","PeriodicalId":74460,"journal":{"name":"Plastic and aesthetic nursing","volume":"44 1","pages":"70-71"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10786442/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139081142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to review and assess the quality of applicable findings from studies investigating PT's efficacy. We queried PubMed and SCOPUS using the search terms \"((\"paper tape\") AND (wound OR closure OR heal* OR complication OR skin OR prevent* OR scar*)).\" We excluded articles that were duplicates, basic science, or not clinically relevant. We assessed the level of evidence for each article using the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) Rating Levels of Evidence and Grading Recommendations for Therapeutic Studies, ranging from I (highest) to V (lowest). Of 186 publications reviewed, we included eight studies in the literature review. Five of these studies reported statistically significant positive outcomes on scar aesthetics and wound closure associated with using PT. Using the ASPS rating system, we found that two studies were Level I, three studies were Level II, two studies were Level IV, and one study was Level V. Notably, heterogeneity in the study designs limited outcome comparison. The data from the studies included in this literature review support using PT to optimize scar and wound management. The lack of higher levels of evidence, however, suggests the need for additional randomized controlled trials to rigorously evaluate patient outcomes when using PT compared with other forms of adhesive dressings.</p>","PeriodicalId":74460,"journal":{"name":"Plastic and aesthetic nursing","volume":"44 1","pages":"59-69"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10964990/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139081144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
