6 years (0-5.8, SD = 1.8). The average volume of fat grafted was 8.6 mL (0-30, SD = 5.9) to the right temporal region and 8.6 mL (0-30, SD = 5.8) to the left. There were no intraoperative or postoperative complications. The mean improvement score was 2.9 (1-4, SD = 0.7), demonstrating that most patients experienced moderate to significant improvement. Multiple linear regression analysis demonstrated that syndromic status had a negative impact on the aesthetic outcome (P less then 0.001). Conclusions These findings demonstrate that fat grafting is an effective method to treat temporal hollowing in children with craniofacial anomalies with no perioperative complications.Background In the contemporary healthcare environment, there is a need for physicians to understand business fundamentals. Nonsurgical residencies have implemented formal business education, but surgical training programs have been slower to adapt. Further research is needed to evaluate the status of business education in plastic surgery residency. Methods A 12-question survey was created. Ninety program director (PD) e-mails were obtained and the survey was distributed using SurveyMonkey. The survey evaluated program demographics and current resources, commitments, and attitudes toward business training. The survey also identified the most important topics to include in a business curriculum. Results Thirty-six surveys were completed (response rate = 40%). Whereas most PDs agreed that business education in plastic surgery residency was important (78%) and that their programs should have more business training (73%), only 39% currently offered business training. Only 42% of PDs believed that their chief residents were competent to handle the business aspects of plastic surgery upon graduation. No programs offered a formal gap year to pursue a professional business degree. The most important topics identified for a business curriculum were economics and finance (83.3%), management (64%), and marketing (53%). Conclusions There is disconnect between perceived importance and resources available for plastic surgery residents to receive business education. Increased attention is needed to resolve this discrepancy to ensure that future plastic surgeons are equipped to excel in their personal careers and stimulate the advancement of the field. Future research should aim to outline a business curriculum for plastic surgery trainees.Background Preservation rhinoplasty (PR) is revolutionizing rhinoplasty surgery, based on new anatomical studies, advanced tip suture techniques, and refinement of surgical techniques. Septal surgery is a fundamental preparatory stage during PR, especially for the dorsal preservation let/push-down procedure. To increase the predictability of the septoplasty aesthetic effects on the nasal dorsum and further extend the principles of PR to septal surgery, we applied the endoscopic technology to the "quick" septoplasty technique we had already developed in the past decades. Methods One hundred sixty-six patients (41 males, 125 females; mean age, 39.7 years; age range, 18-61 years) were submitted to endoscopic "quick" septoplasty for septal deviation during PR procedure. Preoperative evaluation of the nasal dorsum included external examinations of the size, shape, and orientation of the dorsum. Anterior active rhinomanometry was performed in all patients to determine nasal flow resistance preoperatively and 6 montperform the proposed endoscopic septoplasty procedure. Such a short operative time allows the physician to both correct septal deviations quickly and correct/reduce the cartilaginous hump, thus representing a fundamental element of PR. In addition, the minimal tissue dissection reduces intraoperative nasal edema, favoring intraoperative aesthetic evaluation.The worldwide outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has forced healthcare systems across the United States to u
