The 2018 ISPAN Meeting emphasized hands-on learning, patient safety, and professional growth in medical aesthetics and reconstructive practices.

Skin grafts are a common, minimally invasive way to close wounds in dogs, but better methods are still being sought.

The document concludes that rib-sparing techniques in breast reconstruction have limited benefits, sentinel lymph node biopsy is needed for desmoplastic melanoma, certain hair preservation methods improve graft survival, partial turbinectomy effectively reduces nasal obstruction, nipple shields with irrigation may reduce capsular contracture, and thicker malignant melanomas have a higher risk of non-skin cancers.

More men are getting cosmetic surgery, with nose jobs and hair transplants being popular, and choosing a qualified surgeon is important.

Hair transplant surgeries can be improved by preserving follicles in a special solution, and surgeries done at outpatient facilities are more profitable than those at hospitals.

Outpatient aesthetic and reconstructive surgeries are about equally profitable in Academic Health Centers and Ambulatory Surgery Centers when time is considered, but dedicated surgery centers are generally more profitable.

Minoxidil is effective in preventing hair loss after facelift surgery.

EFBL offers hidden incisions, faster recovery, and fewer risks, but may raise hairline and cost more.

Both Minoxidil and PRP are effective for male pattern baldness treatment.

The Mitek Microfix QuickAnchor is effective and safe for endoscopic brow lifts.

Experts advise using sunscreen and proper skin care before, during, and after procedures to speed healing, prevent complications, and reduce scarring.

Transgender patients in critical care need better-trained medical staff and specific guidelines.

The guideline provides healthcare professionals in South Africa with instructions for comprehensive, multidisciplinary gender-affirming care, including HIV prevention and treatment for transgender and gender diverse individuals.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) has potential benefits in plastic surgery, especially for skin grafts, wound healing, hair loss, mild Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, and TMJ disorders, but more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness.

The analysis shows the U.S. leads in tissue expansion research, mainly for breast reconstruction, with a slightly higher complication rate when using acellular dermal matrix.

The document outlines steps for moving fat from one body part to another.

Hair loss due to scarring can be treated by reducing inflammation, removing scar tissue, and transplanting hair. The Follicular Unit Extraction technique is effective but requires skill and time. Future focus should be on scar-less healing methods.

Baricitinib helps with severe hair loss, negative-pressure therapy lowers hernia recurrence, tranexamic acid reduces bleeding, robot-assisted breast surgery may improve outcomes, and acellular dermal matrix could decrease breast reconstruction complications.
