Credible clinical research is a precondition of evidence-based surgery. If clinical research is not conducted and reported properly, such research can be unreliable, unclear, and misleading. Our journal, Plastic Surgery, aims to improve its quality and thus enhance interest, submissions, and readership. To do so, we must ensure that the articles published in our journal align with these goals. This article guides future clinical research contributors, how to design, conduct and report valuable and reliable research. Readers are informed how to choose a title and keywords that properly reflect the content of the article. The proper organization of a manuscript, and the information that goes into each section is described. Valuable tools like the EQUATOR Network Guidelines, the FINER Criteria and the PICOT Format are described for the reader. These resources help formulate a proper research question and ensure transparency in reporting. Commonly used study designs, and the research qu...

Facial plastic surgery is a multidisciplinary specialty largely driven by otolaryngology but includes oral maxillary surgery, dermatology, ophthalmology, and plastic surgery. It encompasses both reconstructive and cosmetic components. The scope of practice for facial plastic surgeons in the United States may include rhinoplasty, browlifts, blepharoplasty, facelifts, microvascular reconstruction of the head and neck, craniomaxillofacial trauma reconstruction, and correction of defects in the face after skin cancer resection. Facial plastic surgery also encompasses the use of injectable fillers, neural modulators (e.g., BOTOX Cosmetic, Allergan Pharmaceuticals, Westport, Ireland), lasers, and other devices aimed at rejuvenating skin. Facial plastic surgery is a constantly evolving field with continuing innovative advances in surgical techniques and cosmetic adjunctive technologies. This article aims to give an overview of the various procedures that encompass the field of facial plast...

A paper-based questionnaire was mailed to 30,000 board-certifi ed physicians (12,000 dermatologists, 10,500 otolaryngologists, and 7,500 plastic surgeons). An online version of the questionnaire was also available. A total of 901 physicians returned questionnaires, of which 115 were retired or otherwise inactive during 2014. Of the 786 active respondents, the sample consisted of 317 plastic surgeons, 315 dermatologists, and 154 otolaryngologists. Final fi gures have been projected to refl ect nationwide statistics and are based exclusively on the boardcertifi ed plastic surgeons, otolaryngologists and dermatologists. The fi ndings have been aggregated and extrapolated to the known population of 27,600 active physicians who are board-certifi ed in these specialties. Though the confi dence intervals change by procedure, depending on the grouping’s sample size and the response variance, the overall survey portion of this research has a standard error of +/- 3.45% at a 95% level of confi dence.
