This issue of Pulse News, is filled with a range of timely articles and thought-provoking tips and hints on techniques you can use in your practice. In this issue, we highlight Dr. Dirk Richter's overview of lower lid retraction after blepharoplasty and Dr. Oscar Ramirez' management of Bichat's fat pad in facial shaping. Also, for those of you thinking about adding perforator flaps to your practice, Dr. Eric Halvorson analyzes aspects of organization and team building that factor greatly in the overall success of perforator flap breast reconstruction. Finally, Dr. Val Lambros gives us his insights into facial aging, concepts that differ from our traditional understanding and are beautifully articulated through his careful observations of photos over time. In What's Hot, take the time to understand Dr. Hema Sundaram's analysis of the flow characteristics of fillers. Also, I had the opportunity to moderate a conversation between Dr. Fabio Nahas and Dr. Simeon Wall, Jr., on some of the controversial aspects of abdominoplasty and lipoabdominoplasty. These two are excellent young thinkers in our specialty on this topic who achieve outstanding clinical results! Earlier this year, I met Dr. Alexander Dagum and saw his work on vascularized free fibula transfers to the upper extremity. He has briefly described his technique in a well-written article under Focus On Technique. We have included two excellent articles on the pervasive problem of seromas by Dr. Al Aly and Dr. Leroy Young, our two Pulse News co-editors.
