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...

JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery —The Year in Review, 2017
JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery is nearly 20 years old —youthful compared with many of the JAMA Network journals! The biggest news for the journal this year was the impressive jump in our impact factor to 2.7, which positions the journal in the top echelon among journals that publish similar content. As we have attracted higher-quality scientific subm issions, our acceptance rate for research manuscripts has now dipped to 24% (last year the rate was 33%) (Table). We will be carefully monitoring this trend because we wish to be inclusive and inviting to our research community while striving to be selective in showcasing the v...
