Facial plast Surg 2009; 25: 260-269DOI: 10.1055/s-0029-1242038ABSTRACTThe desire for minimally invasive facial rejuvenation has continued to increase from the perspective of both the patients and injectors. For successful rejuvenation, it is important to understand the anatomic changes of the aging face as well as the properties of available neuromodulators and soft tissue fillers. The injector should be knowledgeable of the advantages and disadvantages of each product. Patient selection, perhaps, plays the largest role in success, choosing patients that would truly benefit from and have reasonable expectations for minimal...

The Aging Midfacial Skeleton: Implications for Rejuvenation and Reconstruction Using ImplantsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Facial plast Surg 2009; 25: 252-259DOI: 10.1055/s-0029-1242037ABSTRACTTraditional theories on facial aging and methods for rejuvenation focus primarily on soft tissues with ptosis as the major mechanism responsible for senescent changes. Anatomic studies demonstrate that there are also many changes to the craniofacial skeleton as patients age. Midface skeletal augmentation, using implants made of porous polyethylene, is a simple and effective method to reverse age-related changes of the facial skeleton in patients with intact occlusion. Skeletal implants correct concave morphology by increasing projection and provide a mea...

Facial plast Surg 2009; 25: 245-251DOI: 10.1055/s-0029-1242036ABSTRACTThere is a significant desire by patients to reverse the signs of aging caused by photodamage. Numerous procedures for facial skin rejuvenation have been developed in an attempt to minimize the erythema, dyspigmentation, and rhytides associated with photoaging. The initial procedures developed for facial rejuvenation involve skin resurfacing via complete ablation of layers of skin. Of these procedures, ablative laser resurfacing is the most precise technique and is considered the gold standard for facial skin rejuvenation. Although ablative procedures ar...

Americans love lists. Several books of lists have become best sellers here in the States.

After all, where else could a retired actor become the Governor of California or even President of the United States? Is it too fanciful to believe that a ‘retired’ Hollywood cartoon character could offer a top ten list of helpful suggestions for improving the quality of scientific papers?

Seminars in Plastic Surgery 2009; 23: 288-291DOI: 10.1055/s-0029-1242180ABSTRACTThe anatomic understanding of the superficial compartments of the head and neck are evolving. Recently, studies have shown that the superficial fat is sequestered into separate “compartments”; however, the superficial anatomy of the submental region of the neck has yet to be defined, and improved understanding of this area may lead to advances in our ability to rejuvenate the neck. This cadaveric investigation revealed that there is one superficial fat compartment in the submental region. The anterior boundary of this compartment, p...

Precise knowledge of neck anatomy is essential for adequate planning and execution of this procedure. There are three anatomic and surgical planes involved in the management of the aging neck; the superficial plane (subcutaneous fat), the intermediate plane (platysma muscles and the fat between the two muscles), and the deep plane (subplatysmal fat, the anterior belly of the digastric muscles, and the submandibular glands).

Role of Radiation Therapy in Cutaneous MelanomaEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Cutaneous melanoma is a disease that often has an aggressive and unpredictable course. It was historically thought to be a radioresistant neoplasm; however, substantial radiobiologic and clinical evidence has emerged to refute this notion. Improved local control has been demonstrated with the use of adjuvant radiation therapy delivered to the primary site or regional lymphatics in patients with high-risk clinical or pathologic features. Despite improved local control, high-risk cutaneous melanoma often spreads systemically, leading to poor survival. In the setting of systemic progression, radiation therapy can frequently p...

Complete Lymph Node Dissection for Regional Nodal MetastasisEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The primary management of lymph nodes involved with metastatic melanoma is regional lymphadenectomy. Axillary or inguinal node complete lymph node dissection (CLND) is performed after an occult metastasis is found by sentinel lymph node biopsy, or after a clinically apparent regional lymph node metastasis. CLND completely removes all lymph-node-bearing tissue in a nodal basin. This procedure continues to be controversial. No randomized prospective studies have yet determined the survival advantage of CLND. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network recommends that all patients with stage III melanoma have a CLND.

Head and Neck MelanomaEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Nearly 20% of malignant melanoma in the human body occurs in the head and neck. Most studies divide the sites of origin of malignant melanoma in the head and neck into the following areas: the face, the scalp and neck, the external ear, and the eyelid or medial or lateral canthal area. Sixty-five percent of malignant melanomas occur in the facial region. Given that the face represents only 3.5% of total body surface area, the face is overrepresented when compared with other sites in the head and neck. Among the sites of origin in the head and neck, melanoma of the scalp and neck carries the highest mortality, with 10-year ...

Lentigo maligna is an overgrowth of atypical melanocytes at the dermal–epidermal junction also known as melanoma in situ. Left untreated, these lesions can continue to grow, resulting in dermal invasion and progression to lentigo maligna melanoma. Many operative and nonoperative treatments have been developed with the goals of preserving function and cosmesis while at the same time addressing the diffuse nature of these lesions. Previous recommendations have led plastic surgeons to commonly perform wide local excision with 5 mm margins. More recent literature has suggested that in many cases this treatment can result in ...

The Spitz nevus is a relatively common skin lesion in children and is less commonly seen in adults. The lesion is defined by the presence of distinctive-appearing spindle or epithelioid cells on light microscopy in a recognizable nevus-like pattern. Spitz lesions share features with melanoma on light microscopic examination. When Spitz features are atypical or typical features are absent, distinction from melanoma can be difficult. A spectrum of pathology of Spitz lesions can be found from lesions that are benign and typical to lesions that are atypical with melanoma-like features and frank melanoma. There is significant i...

It has been almost 10 years since an issue of Clinics in Plastic Surgery was dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of malignant melanoma. Since that time, significant changes in the diagnosis and treatment of melanoma have occurred. In 2000, at the time of the last issue, elective lymph node dissection was still being performed and sentinel lymph node biopsy was in its infancy. Sentinel lymph node biopsy has now become the standard of care in melanoma. The staging system was totally revamped in 2002, taking into account the significance of ulceration and the information gained during sentinel node biopsy. Although the t...
