Article Abstract
Background: Facial rejuvenation using different dermal and sub-dermal injectable compounds is a popular cosmetic procedure which may pose a diagnostic dilemma to the radiologist.
Objectives: To describe the appearance of cosmetic facial fillers on PET-CT.
Methods: All PET-CT exams performed between January 2015 and May 2017 in which findings suggestive of prior facial filler procedures was evident and where anamnestic confirmation with the patient was possible were reviewed.
Results: We describe five females who had undergone facial filler procedures leading to calcifications around the mouth and nasolabial triangle.
Conclusions: Familiarity with the appearance of such cosmetic procedures on PET-CT is of paramount importance in order to avoid misinterpretation of the findings leading to unnecessary apprehension and work-up.

Prominauris is the most common congenital ear deformity, presenting in 5 % of the global population, and most patients endorse negative experiences or aesthetic dissatisfaction as motivation for corrective otoplasty. Mustarde-Furnas is a popular otoplasty technique among pediatric patients. Given the cosmetic intention, result consistency is highly important in otoplasty, which our modification of the Mustarde technique aims to address.

Polysorbate 20 (PS20) is one of the most commonly used non-ionic surfactants in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and food products. Considered as biocompatible and non-irritating, it is further valued for its solubilising and protein stabilising properties. PS20 is manufactured through a multi-stage reaction of sorbitol with various fatty acids and ethylene oxide, resulting in a complex mixture of components with different molecular weights and polarity.

Although antimicrobial peptides possess potent antimicrobial activities, the high cost of production, based on amino acid length, has limited their therapeutic and cosmeceutical applications. This study aimed to produce and characterize de novo designed antimicrobial peptides derived from WSKK11 and WSRR11 for efficacy against acne-causing bacteria. Ten designed peptides were evaluated for antimicrobial, hemolytic, and cytotoxic activities, as well as, secondary structures by FTIR and modes of action.
