Overcorrection of the IMF stabilized by 2-3 months postoperatively, resulting in a smooth and well-defined IMF. For non-breast implant cases, the implant volume increased at the lower pole. Slack in the suture was observed in only 2 patients of the deep inferior epigastric artery perforator group and in 1 patient of the breast implant group after 6 months postoperatively. Our new method allows for the recreation of an essentially scarless, smooth, and well-defined IMF. IMF definition can be adjusted by altering the depth of the barbed suture. Since this method can be performed under local anesthesia, it offers the benefits of reducing medical costs and physical burden on patients.

The lymph vessels from the dorsum and the medial ankle ascending to the medial side of the thigh toward the inguinal lymph nodes can be observed by the linear flow using indocyanine green near-infrared lymphography (ICGL). Although anatomical studies have shown the widespread existence of lymphatic vessels throughout the body, ICGL shows little linear flow. We herein report our findings of the course of lymph vessels in healthy lower limbs. The unaffected lower limbs of 14 patients who underwent lymphaticovenular anastomosis were evaluated for this study. The results of linear flow without massage obtained using ICGL were recorded using a 3-dimensional camera. The positions of lymph vessels were measured from the baseline, which was drawn from the midline of the anterior thigh to the second toe through the middle point of the patella. The locations of the lymph vessels were analyzed using 3-dimensional images at the following 4 points 10 cm above the knee, at the lower pole of the patella, at the middle aom the baseline. Although these results can be useful when choosing incision sites for effective lymphaticovenular anastomosis, this is a pilot study of 14 patients, and studies on a large number of healthy legs need to be done in future.Pleuroperitoneal (Denver) shunts have been used primarily for palliation of refractory malignant and chylous peritoneal and pleural collections.1-5 We used a pleuroperitoneal (Denver) shunt for a recurrent, nonmalignant breast seroma in the palliation of metastatic breast cancer as a novel use of this shunt.Fibroblasts' integral role in tissue development, maintenance, and disease represents a fast-growing field of basic science research. Although fibroblasts were long thought to be a homogeneous cell population, recent research has illuminated the unforeseen complexity of these cells, giving rise to the rapidly expanding research field of "fibroblast heterogeneity." Fibroblasts play a critical role in states of tissue fibrosis such as skin scarring, which affects hundreds of millions of patients annually and causes severe aesthetic, developmental, and functional morbidity. Beyond scarring, major organ fibrosis is an enormous public health concern responsible for nearly half of all deaths in the United States. Because fibrosis is a conserved response to tissue damage in all organs, the study of fibroblasts throughout the body may help us to understand their role in the conditions most relevant to plastic and reconstructive surgery-for instance, skin scarring (eg, from burns, traumatic lacerations, or surgical incisions), "pathological" scarring (hypertrophic scars, keloids), and capsular contracture. Here, we present a basic science review of fibroblast heterogeneity in wound healing, cancer, organ fibrosis, and human dermal architecture. The field of fibroblast heterogeneity is young, and many of the insights discussed have yet to be translated clinically. However, plast
