Online reviews play a significant role in influencing a patient's choice of a plastic surgeon. The purpose of this article is to help the practicing plastic surgeon understand reviews and review websites.

A review of both the medical literature and online blogs was performed to identify the most current information pertinent to plastic surgeons.

Negative reviews can impact a potential patient's decision on where to seek plastic surgery, and the best way to dilute that impact is to attract good reviews. Good reviews result from running an excellent practice, and patient surveys can help identify and address problems. The qualities of each of the seven online patient review websites are summarized, along with practice advice on how to attract reviews and how to deal with fake, fraudulent, and negative reviews.

Reviews impact plastic surgeons, whether or not they are aware of what patients are saying about them online. This article helps plastic surgeons become familiar with how to use reviews for practice growth and how to protect their online reputation.

Social media are transforming the dissemination of published research. This influence brought the advent of a new metric, altmetrics, which seeks to quantify the influence of research in real time based on an article's attention online. This study aims to determine the correlation between altmetrics ratings for articles with traditional bibliometrics of impact factor and citation rate.

The 10 most cited articles in the top 15 plastic surgery journals were determined for 2013 and 2016. The 2013 articles allow for a 5-year lag time, whereas 2016 data provide another timepoint for comparison. Altmetric scores and citation count were collected for each article. Impact factor and Twitter account age were determined for each journal. Statistical analysis was completed using descriptive statistics, and Pearson and Spearman correlation coefficients.

In both 2013 and 2016, there was a weak positive correlation between citations and Altmetric score (r = 0.2620, p = 0.0012; r = 0.3564, p < 0.0001, respectively) and between impact factor and the Altmetric score (r = 0.2419, p = 0.0040; r = 0.3887, p = < 0.0001, respectively). Twitter was the main contributor to the Altmetric score in both 2013 and 2016.

Altmetric scores and traditional bibliometrics are not strongly correlated with one another in the plastic surgery literature at this point in time. Still, the short- and long-term impact of a publication might be determined through the combined analysis of citation count, impact factor, and Altmetric scores.

The iPhone X (Apple, Inc., Cupertino, Calif.) is the first smartphone to be released with a high-fidelity three-dimensional scanner. At present, half of all U.S. smartphone users use an iPhone. Recent data suggest that the majority of these 230 million individuals will upgrade to the iPhone X within 2 years. This represents a profound expansion in access to three-dimensional scanning technology, not only for plastic surgeons but for their patients as well. The purpose of this study was to compare the iPhone X scanner against a popular, portable three-dimensional camera used in plastic surgery (Canfield Vectra H1; Canfield Scientific, Inc., Parsippany, N.J.).

Sixteen human subjects underwent three-dimensional facial capture with the iPhone X and Canfield Vectra H1. Results were compared using color map analysis and surface distances between key anatomical landmarks. To assess repeatability and precision of the iPhone X three-dimensional scanner, six facial scans of a single participant were obtained and coresents a significant reduction in the barrier to access to three-dimensional scanning technology for both patients and surgeons.
After reviewing this article, the participant should be able to 1. Understand the trends in reconstruction using flaps. 2. Understand the surgical anatomy and elevation of the three best flaps superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator, profunda artery perforator, and thin anterolateral thigh perforator. 3. Understand the core principle and the modern evolution of microsurgery. AZD1208 in vitro 4. Be acquainted with new microsurgical tips to maximize outcomes.

Plastic surgery has a long history of innovation expanding the conditions we can treat, and microsurgical reconstruction has played a pivotal role. Freestyle free flaps now create another paradigm shift in reconstructive surgery, relying on a better understanding of anatomy and physiology, opening the door to patient-specific customized reconstruction. This article aims to provide information regarding useful and practical new advances in the field of microsurgery.

To date, plastic surgeons have impacted the quality of life and functional potential of amputees through novel strategies for sensory feedback and prosthesis control and various techniques for neuroma treatment and prevention. Osseointegration, which involves the direct skeletal attachment of a prosthesis to bone, has the ability to further maximize amputee function. There exists a critical role for plastic surgeons to help optimize techniques for extremity osseointegration through improved wound care and soft-tissue management. An overview of current osseointegrated prostheses and their associated limitations, and potential avenues through which plastic surgeons can help mitigate these challenges, are discussed in this article.
