Special Issue Introduction

The new technology and new materials can promote their rapid development in one field. New materials play a significant part in the field of plastic and reconstructive research, which is always a hot topic. To satisfy the different needs of various patients, there is still plenty of work to be done. As an Associate Editor of PAR, recently we would like to organize one Special Issue "Applications of Biomaterials in Plastic and Reconstructive Research", aiming to let more experts read the new findings easily and know the new trend of this field timely to make patients more satisfying. Research should be related to materials with basic and clinical studies in the field of plastic and aesthetic surgery. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: *Novel materials and biomaterials in guided plastic and reconstructive surgery (such as wound dressings, skin fillers, reconstruction or soft tissue defect fillers and fixed materials); *The basic research on materials and biomaterials in plastic and reconstructive surgery; *Novel biomaterials for skin, cartilage or musculoskeletal tissue engineering.
