Abstract
<p>The neck is one of the most common areas treated by liposuction. Neck liposuction decreases fat volume, causes skin contraction, and restores a more youthful appearance. We present a large case series (n=987) performed by three dermatologic surgeons. Five patients developed temporary post-operative marginal mandibular dysfunction, one patient had submandibular gland ptosis and one patient had arterial bleeding. Seroma, skin necrosis, scarring, and hyperpigmentation did not occur following neck liposuction. Neck liposuction performed with tumescent local anesthesia is a safe procedure associated with a low incidence of nerve injury and other complications.</p> <p><em>J Drugs Dermatol. 2018;17(1):30-34.</em></p>.

Abstract
Importance The notion that systemic isotretinoin taken within 6 to 12 months of cutaneous surgery contributes to abnormal scarring or delayed wound healing is widely taught and practiced; however, it is based on 3 small case series from the mid-1980s. Objective To evaluate the body of literature to provide evidence-based recommendations regarding the safety of procedural interventions performed either concurrently with, or immediately following the cessation of systemic isotretinoin therapy. Evidence Review A panel of national experts in pediatric dermatology, procedural/cosmetic dermatology, plastic surgery, scars, wound healing, acne, and isotretinoin was convened. A systematic PubMed review of English-language articles published from 1982 to 2017 was performed using the following search terms: isotretinoin, 13-cis-retinoic acid, Accutane, retinoids, acitretin, surgery, surgical, laser, ablative laser, nonablative laser, laser hair removal, chemical peel, dermabrasion, wound healing, safety, scarring, hypertrophic scar, and keloid. Evidence was graded, and expert consensus was obtained. Findings Thirty-two relevant publications reported 1485 procedures. There was insufficient evidence to support delaying manual dermabrasion, superficial chemical peels, cutaneous surgery, laser hair removal, and fractional ablative and nonablative laser procedures for patients currently receiving or having recently completed isotretinoin therapy. Based on the available literature, mechanical dermabrasion and fully ablative laser are not recommended in the setting of systemic isotretinoin treatment. Conclusions and Relevance Physicians and patients may have an evidence-based discussion regarding the known risk of cutaneous surgical procedures in the setting of systemic isotretinoin therapy. For some patients and some conditions, an informed decision may lead to earlier and potentially more effective interventions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This case series explores the use of vismodegib to treat locally advanced basal cell carcinoma (laBCC), with a focus on tolerability, efficacy, and outcomes after treatment cessation. METHODS Data from patients who underwent vismodegib treatment for laBCC at a single institution from 3/6/2012 through 3/15/2015 was utilized in this study. For all included cases, treatment responses as recorded at the first follow-up after treatment cessation were assessed and are reported as complete clinical response (CCR), partial clinical response (PCR), stable disease, or progressive disease. In cases of CCR, clinical disease free survival (DFS) was calculated as the time from cessation of vismodegib until last available follow-up, death, or recurrence. Data pertaining to side effects and adverse events was also recorded, and results are presented using descriptive statistics. RESULTS A total of 24 patients and 31 tumors met inclusion criteria. CCR was observed in 17 of 31 tumors (55%), and 13 of 31 tumors (42%) demonstrated PCR. Stable disease was seen in one patient (one tumor) (3%). No cases demonstrated clinical tumor progression during treatment. The mean clinical DFS at time of data cut off for all cases of CCR was 9.3 months (range 2-21 months). In cases of PCR, the mean reduction in tumor size was 52% (range, 11%-80%). Only two patients (8%) discontinued treatment secondary to side effects. CONCLUSION Each patient and each tumor responds uniquely to vismodegib treatment, including variable tumor responses and a wide range of side effects and tolerability. This study highlights important unique observations, and our data as a whole adds to previously published studies, leading to thought provoking questions. Overall, the FDA approval of vismodegib for advanced basal cell carcinoma has markedly improved the prognosis and care of affected patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Actinic keratosis therapy can elicit unsightly and painful local skin responses; assessment of treatment satisfaction and health-related quality of life (QoL) is important. Ingenol mebutate gel is a novel topical field therapy for actinic keratosis. OBJECTIVE Post-hoc analyses were performed based on patient-reported outcomes from phase-III trials (n = 1005) to assess the effects of ingenol mebutate on QoL and the relationship between both QoL and treatment satisfaction, and degree of lesion clearance. METHODS Patients received ingenol mebutate or vehicle for self-application to a 25-cm(2) contiguous area: 0.015% once daily for 3 consecutive days (face/scalp) or 0.05% once daily for 2 consecutive days (trunk/extremities). QoL (Skindex-16) and Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication data were recorded. RESULTS Significant, positive associations between Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication score and degree of clearance were identified for patients in the face/scalp (effectiveness P < .0001 and global satisfaction P = .0002) and trunk/extremities (P < .0001 and P = .0014, respectively) groups. There was a significant association between Skindex-16 score and clearance for patients in the face/scalp group for change in symptoms (P = .0218), emotions (P = .0002), and overall Skindex-16 score (P = .0006) from baseline. LIMITATIONS Clinical trial population findings may not be generalizable to clinical practice. CONCLUSION Ingenol mebutate significantly improved patients' QoL and treatment satisfaction. Improvements were associated with higher degrees of actinic keratosis lesion clearance.

Abstract
Microscopic frozen section interpretation is one of the cornerstones of Mohs surgery. The recent development of super wide field (SWF) microscopy can improve accuracy and efficiency while reading microscope sections, and also decrease the physician's musculoskeletal and ocular strain. Super wide field microscopy systems increase viewable field area (VA) by combining low magnification objectives, eg, 1x or 2x (Figure 1), with eyepieces that have a higher field number. This article reviews 3 SWF microscopy systems: Leica DM2000 (Leica Microsystems, Wetzlar, Germany), Nikon Eclipse Ni (Nikon Instruments Inc., Melville, NY), and Olympus BX43 (Olympus, Center Valley, PA). The Leica DM2000's 1.25x objective results in a VA of 314.16 mm2. The Nikon Eclipse Ni's 1x objective results in a VA of 490.87 mm2. The Olympus BX43's 1.25x objective results in a VA of 352.99 mm2. The maximum VA at the lowest objective for Nikon is nearly 40% greater than for the Olympus and over 50% greater than for the Leica. The Nikon Eclipse Ni has a significantly higher maximum VA than the other 2 systems.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dyspigmentation is a common complaint in the dermatology office. OBJECTIVE We also sought to evaluate whether the VISIA Complexion Analysis System (Canfield Imaging Systems, Fairfield, NJ) could be a tool to help patients better understand their skin complaints. METHODS Twenty-one consecutive women were recruited for VISIA analysis. Each subject underwent VISIA analysis and completed a follow up survey. RESULTS 86% of respondents reported that the VISIA analysis helped them understand their initial concern. 86% noted that the VISIA brought other skin problems to their attention. 100% of the subjects responded that they would recommend VISIA analysis to others. 62% of subjects responded that they would prefer to go to a practice with a VISIA system in comparison to a practice without VISIA. CONCLUSION The VISIA Complexion Analysis System is a beneficial tool for dermatology and aesthetic practices with the potential to aid in patient education.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Recurrence rates of actinic keratosis (AK) lesions after cryosurgery are high, and this treatment does not address field cancerization. We investigated the efficacy and safety of field treatment of AKs with ingenol mebutate gel following cryosurgery. METHODS In this phase 3, randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled study (NCT01541553), patients ≥18 years with four to eight clinically typical, visible, discrete AKs within a contiguous 25-cm2 treatment area on the face or scalp underwent cryosurgery followed 3 weeks later by once-daily ingenol mebutate 0.015% or vehicle gel for 3 consecutive days. Endpoints included complete clearance at week 11 and safety and efficacy over 12 months. RESULTS In 329 randomized patients, complete clearance rates were greater with ingenol mebutate than vehicle (week 11: 60.5% vs 49.4%; P=.04; month 12: 30.5% vs 18.5%; P=.01). Fewer patients experienced the emergence of new lesions with ingenol mebutate than with vehicle (38.9% vs 51.9%; P =.02). At month 12, mean percentage reduction of AKs was higher with ingenol mebutate than with vehicle (68.2% vs 54.1%; P =.002). The probability of remaining free of lesions was sustained longer with ingenol mebutate compared with vehicle gel: 78% vs 68% at 6 months; 64% vs 57% at 9 months; 55% vs 40% at month 12, respectively. Ingenol mebutate 0.015% gel was well tolerated and no unexpected adverse events occurred; all adverse events resolved within 2 weeks of starting treatment. CONCLUSIONS Field treatment with ingenol mebutate 0.015% gel following cryosurgery significantly enhanced clearance of baseline lesions, and was well tolerated. Furthermore, ingenol mebutate 0.015% gel following cryosurgery reduced development of new lesions in the treated field.

Abstract
Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) was approved for use in Europe in 1999. In the United States, it was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2004 for the treatment of facial lipoatrophy associated with human immunodeficiency virus, and in 2009 for cosmetic indications in immune-competent patients. The need for consistent, effective PLLA usage recommendations is heightened by an increased consumer demand for soft tissue augmentation and a shift toward a younger demographic. Over the past 14 years, considerable experience has been gained with this agent, and we have come to better understand the clinical, technical, and mechanistic aspects of PLLA use that need to be considered to optimize patient outcomes. These consensus recommendations regarding patient selection, proper preparation and storage, optimal injection techniques, and other practical considerations reflect the body of evidence in the medical literature, as well as the collective experience of this author group.

Abstract
Limonia acidissima or Hesperethusa crenulata is a common tree in Southeast Asia. It is indigenous to the Republic of Myanmar (formerly Burma) as well as India, Sri Lanka, Java, and Pakistan. In English, the common names for Limonia acidissima are sandalwood, wood-apple, elephant-apple, monkey fruit, and curd fruit tree. The plant has a number of different names in different languages including bal or bael in Assamese, bael in Bengali, kaitha in Hindi, belingai in Malaysia, and thanaka in Burmese. Unique to the Burmese people, thanaka has been used as a cosmetic product for over 2000 years. Mention of thanaka has been traced back to ancient Burmese lyrics, and relics of equipment used by ancient royalty to grind thanaka can be found in museums.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Detailed information regarding perioperative risk and adverse events associated with Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) can guide clinical management. Much of the data regarding complications of MMS are anecdotal or report findings from single centers or single events. OBJECTIVES To quantify adverse events associated with MMS and detect differences relevant to safety. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Multicenter prospective inception cohort study of 21 private and 2 institutional US ambulatory referral centers for MMS. Participants were a consecutive sample of patients presenting with MMS for 35 weeks at each center, with staggered start times. EXPOSURE Mohs micrographic surgery. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Intraoperative and postoperative minor and serious adverse events. RESULTS Among 20 821 MMS procedures, 149 adverse events (0.72%), including 4 serious events (0.02%), and no deaths were reported. Common adverse events reported were infections (61.1%), dehiscence and partial or full necrosis (20.1%), and bleeding and hematoma (15.4%). Most bleeding and wound-healing complications occurred in patients receiving anticoagulation therapy. Use of some antiseptics and antibiotics and sterile gloves during MMS were associated with modest reduction of risk for adverse events. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Mohs micrographic surgery is safe, with a very low rate of adverse events, an exceedingly low rate of serious adverse events, and an undetectable mortality rate. Common complications include infections, followed by impaired wound healing and bleeding. Bleeding and wound-healing issues are often associated with preexisting anticoagulation therapy, which is nonetheless managed safely during MMS. We are not certain whether the small effects seen with the use of sterile gloves and antiseptics and antibiotics are clinically significant and whether wide-scale practice changes would be cost-effective given the small risk reductions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cryosurgery is the most common treatment for actinic keratosis (AK) in the United States. Efficacy with cryosurgery is variable, and is a modality for treating individual, visible lesions while failing to treat subclinical lesions. METHODS FIELD Study 1 (NCT01541553) is a phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind study that evaluated the short- (11-week) and long- (12-month) term efficacy and safety of sequential AK treatment using cryosurgery with liquid nitrogen followed by ingenol mebutate gel, versus cryosurgery followed by vehicle. RESULTS Overall, 329 patients were randomized to ingenol mebutate 0.015% gel (n=167) or vehicle (n=162) 3 weeks after cryosurgery. Baseline characteristics were balanced across groups. At week 11, complete clearance rate (100%) in the treatment area was higher for ingenol mebutate gel compared with vehicle (60.5% vs 49.4%, respectively; P=.04). Mean percentage reduction in number of AKs versus baseline was also numerically higher for ingenol mebutate gel (82.7% vs 75.6%). A general reduction from baseline lesion count was observed 3 weeks after cryosurgery. Treatment after cryosurgery was well tolerated. CONCLUSIONS Short-term (11-week) AK clearance rates on the face or scalp with ingenol mebutate gel after cryosurgery were higher than with cryosurgery alone.

Abstract
An article titled "Current issues in dermatologic office-based surgery" was published in the JAAD in October 1999 (volume 41, issue 4, pp. 624-634). The article was developed by the Joint American Academy of Dermatology/American Society for Dermatologic Surgery Liaison Committee. A number of subjects were addressed in the article including surgical training program requirements for dermatology residents and selected advances in dermatologic surgery that had been pioneered by dermatologists. The article concluded with sections on credentialing, privileging, and accreditation of office-based surgical facilities. Much has changed since 1999, including more stringent requirements for surgical training during dermatology residency, and the establishment of 57 accredited Procedural Dermatology Fellowship Training Programs. All of these changes have been overseen and approved by the Residency Review Committee for Dermatology and the Accreditation Committee for Graduate Medical Education. The fertile academic environment of academic training programs with interaction between established dermatologic surgeons and fellows, as well as the inquisitive nature of many of our colleagues, has led to the numerous major advances in dermatologic surgery, which are described herein.

Abstract
The history of beauty is as old as mankind itself--throughout history people have tried to improve their attractiveness and to enhance their beauty. The technical basis for many of nowadays procedures like lipoplasty, breast augmentation or rhinoplasty was thereby initiated more than a hundred years ago and evolved to the modern standards of today. The aim of this article is to recall the early days of aesthetic medicine and show the swift progress up to the highly specialized medical discipline of our modern time. Combining the past, present and future of aesthetic medicine, allows to incorporate this perspective and ultimately to delivery better patient care.

Abstract
Microscopic interpretation represents the central tenet for diagnosis and eradication of cutaneous tumors. Standard microscopes are limited by relatively high-powered objectives and smaller viewable diameter. Newer equipment offers optional lower powered objectives including 1X and 2X objectives and can be combined with super widefield eyepieces to greatly enhance the viewable area during pathologic interpretation of slides. Mohs micrographic surgery represents one of the most useful areas in which the dermatologic surgeon gleans multiple efficiencies from these microscope systems. One such system that was recently trialed, the Nikon 80i microscope, proved to be incredibly easy to use and multiple efficiencies were quickly realized.
