Induced Polyethylene Glycol Fusion in Rat Facial Nerves?
To the Editor In their recent article, Brown et al(E7) conclude that “polyethylene glycol fusion has shown efficacy in the surgical repair of spinal nerve injuries, but this finding was not replicated in facial nerve injury repair.” Problematically, Brown et al almost certainly did not induce polyethylene glycol (PEG)-mediated fusion repair of facial nerves in ra ts. We come to this conclusion for the following 3 reasons: (Source: JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery)

Perceived Facial Distortions in Selfies Are Explained by Viewing Habits
To the Editor In their recent article, Ward et al analyze the effect of camera distance on the relative sizes of facial dimensions in photographs. They argue that these dimensions are distorted in “selfies”—photographs that people take of themselves with a smartphone camera at arm’s length. Given the increasing popularity of selfies, they express concern that such photographs affect decisions about cosmetic medical procedures. We agree with the authors’ calculations of facial dimens ions in photographs. We wish, however, to clarify the cause of perceived nasal widening in selfies. The perceived nasal widening is ...

Autologous Fat Transfer as a Tool for Cosmetic and Reconstructive Purposes
In this issue ofJAMA Facial Plastic Surgery, Krastev et al have presented a much needed systematic review and meta-analysis of 52 autologous fat transfer (AFT) studies for facial reconstructive surgery consisting of 1568 patients with the conclusion that there was very-high patient satisfaction (91%) and surgeon satisfaction (89%) only after 1.5 sessions with volume retention of 50% to 60% at 1 year. The use of AFT for reconstructive purposes has not been well documented, and this meta-analysis evaluates all of the indications for AFT for facial reconstruction including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated lipodys...
