Abstract
Being profitable procedures with little disposable costs, a number of noninvasive technologies have gained much popularity in recent years and are permeating the aesthetic marketplace. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) when focused at a targeted depth of 1.1 to 1.6 cm within subcutaneous tissue raises local tissue temperature at the focal point resulting in almost immediate cell death without damage to the surrounding tissues. Despite having gained popularity, little information is available regarding HIFU use for the treatment of localized fat and aesthetic body sculpturing. The current literature review is intended to investigate evidence-based efficacy of HIFU in aesthetic body contouring.

Abstract
Demand for safe, less aggressive and cost-efficient treatment modality to improve skin quality and appearance following scarring or photoaging is increasing steadily. A treatment modality that preserves the epidermis while promoting regeneration rather than cicatrization would be ideal. Percutaneous collagen induction (PCI) therapy or microneedling is claimed to approach this ideal objective. The current comprehensive literature review is intended to analyze the scientific basis supporting this therapeutic modality and to evaluate the efficacy of PCI microneedling therapy versus no treatment of patients with photoaged skin and scars of various etiologies on aesthetic skin rejuvenation, skin tightening and scar quality in prospective, retrospective and experimental studies. Twenty-five published studies were identified and included in this review. Four publications are experimental animal studies; most clinical reports are case series or small cohort non-randomized studies or trials lacking methodological unity with a heterogenous mix of scars, wrinkles and skin laxity being treated. The majority are studies about management of scars of various etiologies while only 4 specifically investigated the effect of PCI on wrinkles and aging skin. One study compared burn scar erythema in the treated area to the untreated area, and 5 studies included histologic evaluation of biopsies. Despite PCI promising therapeutic benefits and its increasing cosmetic applications, the current literature review unfortunately revealed a limited number of high-quality studies mostly experimental. Data and conclusions of clinical studies must be carefully interpreted before translating the evidence presented into clinical recommendations.

Abstract
The inframammary fold (IMF) is the most critical visual landmark that affects final aesthetic outcome of augmentation mammoplasty and even post-mastectomy alloplastic breast reconstruction. Unfortunately, structural integrity of this landmark is greatly overlooked and very often neglected. Excessive undermining of the lower breast pole with aggressive disruption/lowering and subsequent poor reconstitution of the IMF scaffold combined with imbalanced implant-tissue dynamics may result in downward implant displacement with creep bottoming and upward tilt of the nipples. The current report reviews the experience of the senior author (BA) over 30 years in breast aesthetic and reconstructive surgery with IMF reconstruction and fixation to the chest wall at the inferior border of the implant. Illustrative cases are presented. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE V This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
