Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue of Cosmetics aims to bring together specialists in dermatology, dermato-cosmetics and aesthetic surgeons to obtain the best results in this field of cosmetic dermatologic surgery. Dermatological surgery has made significant advancements. Many procedures are now minimally invasive.  Due to the increasing integration of AI in many fields, it is of interest to outline the importance and the way in which it could influence the fields of dermato-cosmetics and dermato-cosmetic surgery. Therefore, we invite all specialists in these fields to publish original articles or review papers on advances in surgical and non-surgical cosmetic treatment of dermatological conditions affecting the aesthetic aspects of the face and neck in both women and men, as well as the impact AI can have on the indications, treatment plan and results in this field.

Dermatomyositis is a rare autoimmune disease characterized by muscle weakness and skin rashes. Management typically involves high-dose cortisone treatment, which raises concerns about the feasibility and safety of aesthetic surgeries for affected individuals. This case report presents a successful outcome of an aesthetic surgery conducted on a dermatomyositis patient undergoing high-dose cortisone therapy. The patient, a 39-year-old female with a history of juvenile dermatomyositis, expressed a desire for aesthetic improvement, first in the periocular area and then in terms of the appearance of her breasts. Despite the challenges posed by the underlying condition and ongoing corticosteroid treatment, the patient underwent elective aesthetic surgeries with meticulous perioperative care and close collaboration between the surgical, anesthetic, and rheumatology teams. The successful outcome of the procedures enhanced the patient’s self-esteem and quality of life. This case underscores the importance of individualized treatment planning, interdisciplinary collaboration, and careful perioperative management for achieving favorable aesthetic outcomes for patients with dermatomyositis undergoing corticosteroid therapy for more than 20 years. Further research and awareness are warranted to guide the safe performance of aesthetic surgeries on this unique patient population. Full article
