When using free fat autologous grafts as a filling material was first proposed in 1893 by Neuber, the idea rapidly gained enthusiasm and endorsements. Our early experience with autologous fat transplantation was disappointing, but even then it was clear that fat could be transferred with partial success. Since then, further clinical works by Guerrerosantos, Coleman, and others have shown that it is possible, by careful handling of transplanted fat, to improve the survival of this tissue. We have reviewed our recent experiences and have found several patients with whom autologous fat transplant has been successful with up to an 8-year postoperative follow-up.

We homogeneously analyse ∼3.2 × 105 photometric measurements for ∼1100 transit light curves belonging to 17 exoplanet hosts. The photometric data cover 16 years (2004–2019) and include amateur and professional observations. Old archival light curves were reprocessed using up-to-date exoplanetary parameters and empirically debiased limb-darkening models. We also derive self-consistent transit and radial-velocity fits for 13 targets. We confirm the non-linear transit timing variation (TTV) trend in the WASP-12 data at a high significance, and with a consistent magnitude. However, Doppler data reveal hints of a radial acceleration of about −7.5 ± 2.2 m s−1 yr−1, indicating the presence of unseen distant companions, and suggesting that roughly 10 per cent of the observed TTV was induced via the light-travel (or Roemer) effect. For WASP-4, a similar TTV trend suspected after the recent TESS observations appears controversial and model dependent. It is not supported by our homogeneous TTV sample, including 10 ground-based EXPANSION light curves obtained in 2018 simultaneously with TESS. Even if the TTV trend itself does exist in WASP-4, its magnitude and tidal nature are uncertain. Doppler data cannot entirely rule out the Roemer effect induced by possible distant companions.

Transit events of extrasolar planets offer a wealth of information for planetary characterization. However, for many known targets, the uncertainty of their predicted transit windows prohibits an accurate scheduling of follow-up observations. In this work, we refine the ephemerides of 21 hot Jupiter exoplanets with the largest timing uncertainties. We collected 120 professional and amateur transit light curves of the targets of interest, observed with a range of telescopes of 0.3m to 2.2m, and analyzed them along with the timing information of the planets discovery papers. In the case of WASP-117b, we measured a timing deviation compared to the known ephemeris of about 3.5 hours, and for HAT-P-29b and HAT-P-31b the deviation amounted to about 2 hours and more. For all targets, the new ephemeris predicts transit timings with uncertainties of less than 6 minutes in the year 2018 and less than 13 minutes until 2025. Thus, our results allow for an accurate scheduling of follow-up observations in the next decade.

In this work, we present transit timing variations detected for the exoplanet TrES-5b. To obtain the necessary amount of photometric data for this exoplanet, we have organized an international campaign to search for exoplanets based on the Transit Timing Variation method (TTV) and as a result of this we collected 30 new light curves, 15 light curves from the Exoplanet Transit Database (ETD) and 8 light curves from the literature for the timing analysis of the exoplanet TrES-5b. We have detected timing variations with a semi-amplitude of A ≈ 0.0016 days and a period of P ≈ 99 days. We carried out the N-body modeling based on the three-body problem. The detected perturbation of TrES-5b may be caused by a second exoplanet in the TrES-5 system. We have calculated the possible mass and resonance of the object: M ≈ 0.24MJup at a 1:2 Resonance.

Often, both augmentation and mastopexy are necessary to solve the problems of breast ptosis with hypoplasia. These two procedures can be done simultaneously with no increased risks. Patients who have any degree of ptosis may benefit from some lifting of the nipple areola complex if the nipple is not in the central portion of the general contour of the breast mound when seen in the upright position. A simple crescent or eccentric excision in the upper quadrant may be sufficient to lift the nipple-areola complex 1-2 cm. If the nipple needs to be moved more than a couple of centimeters, or if the distance between the nipple and the inframammary crease is already excessive, an inframammary skin excision and redraping will be necessary. We have been using these combined techniques for 20 years with universal patient satisfaction.
