The curve has begun to flatten and many of us have returned to the office and the operating theatre. For many of us, this is likely the longest time in our careers without, seeing patients, performing aesthetic procedures and traveling to meetings. We are glad this is now in our rearview mirror and we can return to work as normal or should we say what we hope will be a temporary new normal?

The curve has begun to flatten and many of us have returned to the office and the operating theater. For many of us, this is likely the longest time in our careers without seeing patients, performing aesthetic procedures, and traveling to meetings. We are glad this is now in our rearview mirror and we can return to work as normal or should we say what we hope will be a temporary new normal? We are proud of the educational efforts the Aesthetic Surgery Journal offered during the lockdown. Through the contributions of many of our lifelong peers and our editorial team, both ASJ and ASJ Open Forum quickly became a go-to resource during COVID-19.

BACKGROUND: Autologous fat has become more frequently used for nasal volume augmentation and nasal correction. Nasal lipofilling refers to the use of injectable autologous fat grafts for nonsurgical aesthetic corrections. OBJECTIVES: This systematic review aims to assess the satisfaction, complication, and retention rates of fat injection in nasal shape corrections. METHODS: The authors searched PubMed/Medline and Google Scholar up to and including October 2020 with no time and language restrictions for pertinent materials. Two authors conducted a duplicate searching process independently to determine proper materials based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. One author retrieved the following data from the finally included studies based on a predefined checklist worksheet. RESULTS: The included studies report data from a total of 564 patients undergoing nasal fat injection in 12 studies. The mean score in our included materials was 6.08 with a range of 4 to 7 scores. In most of our included materials, no complication was reported for the peri/postsurgical period. Although some papers reported manageable complications such as an insufficient volume or decreased volume by resorption, tip excess and supratip fillness, and mild displacement, more than half of our included materials reported on patient satisfaction with aesthetic results of fat injection. The satisfaction rates were mostly high and ranged from 63% to 100%. CONCLUSIONS: Autologous fat injection is an effective and minimally invasive treatment for nasal aesthetic and contour correction with a high satisfaction rate and low complication rate. Clinical expertise is essential to have a safe injection and to minimize the potential complications. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 4:

From its origin cosmetic surgery was performed in facilities which were neither certified nor regulated. Recognizing that there was no formal oversight of facilities, a group of plastic surgeons saw the need to develop an accreditation program. This eventually evolved into the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Plastic Surgery Facilities. The organization was started to implement and maintain a voluntary inspection accreditation program for qualifying surgical facilities. Its focus was to educate plastic surgeons on safety and became recognized as the gold standard for accreditation. Seeing the need for similar standards for all surgeons, it morphed into the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF). Comprehending that accreditation was in everyone's best interest, AAAASF developed educational formats for plastic surgeons, testified at the US Congress suggesting potential ways that oversight of facilities could improve patient safety, functioned as a resource to numerous states in developing guidelines for oversight of facilities, continued to update its standards, and extended its accreditation program internationally. Recognizing the value of accreditation, proven by AAAAASF's extensive database from its Internet-Based Quality Assurance Program, the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) mandated that its members operate only in accredited or licensed facilities. Numerous studies documenting the safety of accredited plastic surgical facilities from AAAASF's extensive quality assurance and peer-review reporting program are cited. AAAASF played a significant role and will continue to do that in producing better, safer environments for outpatient surgical procedures.
