Abstract
Our goal was to characterize changes in flow and diameter with vascular endothelial cell growth factor A (VEGF-A) and fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2). Observations were made in arteriolar networks of the cheek pouch tissue in anesthetized hamsters (pentobarbital 70 mg/kg, i.p., n = 45). Local and...

Abstract
We show that BFP contains a population of stem cells that share a similar phenotype with ASCs from abdominal subcutaneous fat tissue, and are also able to differentiate into the chondrogenic, adipogenic, and osteogenic lineage. These results define BFP as a new, rich, and accessible source of ASCs f...

Abstract
Aging of the midface and lower eyelid represents one of the earliest clinically detectable areas of aging on the face. These senile changes include laxity of eyelid skin, pseudoherniation of orbital fat, ptosis of the suborbicularis oculi and malar fat pads, and loss of facial volume. Several approa...

Abstract
The frontal branch of the facial nerve is protected by a deep layer of fascia, termed the parotid-temporal fascia, which is separate from the SMAS as it travels over the zygomatic arch. Division of the SMAS above the arch in a high-SMAS face lift is safe using the technique described in this study....
