However, the fact that the changeover has not occurred in all the categories in question does not indicate that the Occidental characteristics came to be emulated in their entirety.

Patient acceptance of this surgery is very high because unlike previous gluteal reduction techniques, this procedure leaves well-concealed scars that can be hidden even with the small type of swimsuits used currently.

Computer-designed alloplastic implants have contributed considerably to improvement in the accuracy and reliability of facial rehabilitation, rapidly becoming an irreplaceable part of the surgical armamentarium. In recent years, the subsequently developed new generation of computational technologies has allowed planning to be done by preoperative “mirroring” using the healthy side as a template to fabricate an ideal prosthesis for reestablishment of facial symmetry. Two cases of facial defects are reported, one of the midface and another of the lower face reconstructed using a computer-designed polyetheretherketone (PE...

There appears to be few differences in outcomes between the techniques of breast reductions used, and the success or otherwise almost certainly relates to factors independent of surgical technique and includes patient selection, operative skill, and experience. Time-to-event analysis provides a precise assessment and description of the complication profile. Level of Evidence III  This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

There has been more cartilage resorption than thought. This should be considered when overcorrection is performed.

After reviewing the other nine reported cases of Tapia’s syndrome, we found that half of the patients had undergone rhinoplasty or septorhinoplasty. The risk factors, etiology, clinical course, recovery potential, and preventive measures are analyzed and discussed. Although Tapia’s syndrome after rhinoplasty/septorhinoplasty appears to be rare, it should be considered by both the anesthetist and the plastic surgeon, and most importantly, special attention should be paid to preventive strategies.

Various techniques have been used depending on the defect size, the defect location, and tissue involved. For better wound control and result predictability, we developed an anteriorly pedicled retroauricular flap. We used this modified double-full-thickness skin graft in three patients. This anteriorly pedicled flap provides a visible wound surface which makes wound dressing easy. The aesthetic outcome is good and predictable. No major complications were encountered during surgery or the healing phase. All patients were satisfied with the outcome. The described method offers a good option for reconstructing larger auricular defects with local tissue. Content Type Journal ArticleCategory Innova...

Indeed, hypomastia is often associated with kyphosis because patients try to hide what they consider a deficiency. Following breast augmentation, the discovery of new breasts overcomes the dissatisfaction with the patient’s own body image, increases self-esteem, and modifies posture regardless of the changes in body mass due to the insertion of the implants.

These scars generally occur on the scalp and in both the pre- and retroauricular areas. In 194 of our patients who underwent rhytidoplasties, we successfully eliminated these retroauricular and preauricular scars. To achieve these results, we did not make periauricular incisions; instead, we made a superior incision, a subcutaneous dissection, and used various surgical maneuvers such as subdermal plication and structural grafting. By utilizing this facelift technique, we were able to eliminate the appearance of periauricular scars associated with facial plastic surgery, reduce complications, achieve natural-looking results, and increase patient satisfa...

No statistical difference was found in the complication rate or patient satisfaction of one technique over the other. No clinical advantage can be demonstrated by placing breast prostheses behind the pectoral fascia compared to directly behind the breast.

At times, there has been confusion in clinically considering the two therapies to be the same. This report is aimed at distinguishing clearly between fat grafting and ASC therapy with regard to the indications, harvesting, processing, application techniques, outcomes, and complications. Findings have shown that autologous fat transfer, a widely used procedure for soft tissue augmentation, is beneficial for reconstructive and cosmetic procedures used to treat patients with volume loss due to d...

After resection, the remaining breast was reshaped using multiple dermaglandular flaps to restore the breast mound, and contralateral breast mammaplasty was performed for symmetry. This case is a good illustration of the oncoplastic reconstruction options available after wide local excision.

The findings show that the action of Ice-Shock Lipolysis is a safe, effective, and well-tolerated noninvasive procedure for body contouring. In particular, the authors believe that this could be an ideal alternative to liposuction for patients who require only small or moderate amounts of adipose tissue and cellulite removal or are not suitable candidates for surgical approaches to body contouring.

It is also a good option for patients with significant soft tissue damage owing to prior surgery, radiation, or trauma in the periorbital field. This technique can be performed quickly through small incisions and requires only a small amount of stable bone for tendon fixation. Results are excellent and the procedure has proven to be safe and effective in our series of patients.

The advantage of such a method is that a well-vascularized and durable flap, which is resistant to infection, is wrapped over the sculpted nasal implant in a single step. It also reinforces the thinned skin, which makes it easier to form various shapes, producing excellent cosmetic results. Finally, it can also serve as a tolerable graft bed in the case of overlying skin loss.

The application is fast and easy if basic guidelines are respected. Operating time is saved by eliminating the need for time-consuming intracutaneous running sutures. Removal is easy and painless for the patient. However, there is a potential for local allergic adverse effects of which the surgeon must be aware.

Preadipocyte cell death induced by lidocaine is not caused by apoptosis but by necrosis, which cannot be prevented by coenzyme Q10. These findings should be taken into account when searching for solutions to improve preadipocyte viability in the context of soft tissue engineering and autologous fat transfer.

The results presented here are not long term; however, the preliminary results are promising. The flap should be avoided in cases of thin skin, or at least be used with caution, whereas in thick skin cases it is very safe. Further studies in larger groups are required to better define the advantages and disadvantages of this flap.

These templates and sizers are used frequently in the field of aesthetic and reconstructive surgery. The use of a template to assist with construction of cartilage grafts in rhinoplasty allows the surgeon to sculpt by replicating the template model. Templates and sizers are useful and advantageous tools in the rhinoplasty operation.

However, early and delayed complications, ranging from minor to severe, can occur following PMMA filler injection. We evaluated and treated 13 cases of PMMA filler-related complications that were referred to our institution from July 2005 to June 2010. Of these patients, 92.3% were female and 7.7% were male. Complications were roughly classified as (1) nodular masses, (2) inflammation, (3) allergic reactions, and (4) discoloration. Affected locations were the lips, periocular wrinkles, nasolabial folds, forehead, marionette wrinkles, and cheeks. As there is no standard treatment moda...

They may present with expectations for both the surgical outcome and the impact that their changed appearance will have on their lives. The desire for an aesthetic procedure is usually driven by increased levels of self-consciousness. The surgeon must be able to identify those patients where the psychological outcome of aesthetic surgery is likely to be poor, and where the self-consciousness of the patient is abnormal. A mnemonic (DESIRABLE OP) is presented with the aim of providing surgeons with a screening tool that can lead them through the psychological assessment of any patient seeking an aesthetic procedure and enable them to determine whether its undertaking constitutes a desirable operation?

We argue that patients presenting for a DIEP flap should be informed about this interesting comparison.

The need for histologic examination of all surgically removed tissue in patients with rhinophyma is highlighted. Several macroscopic changes, including ulceration, drainage, and a rapid growth pattern, should alarm the physician and should be considered as suspicious of a malignant degeneration. Unexpected clinical modifications of a preexisting long-lasting silent rhinophyma could indicate the possibility of hidden malignancy rather than a rhinophyma itself. Although evidence of an association between the two ent...

People consider blue eyes attractive, but in reality, blue is rated as attractive as other iridal colors. Bright scleral color and large pupils positively affect attractiveness because both features are significantly correlated with youthfulness.

A 42-year-old woman presented with palpable indurations and pain with pressure. She also showed abnormalities on her breast cancer screening. The woman underwent mammography, magnetic resonance imaging, and pathologic confirmation to evaluate the breast abnormalities. These radiologic examinations were consistent with liponecrotic pseudocysts on both sides. Bilateral lumpectomies were performed through an inframammary approach.

Thus, a single aesthetic ideal is inadequate. Noses of Indian women are smaller and wider, with a less projected and rounded tip than the noses of white women. This study established the nasal anthropometric norms for nasal parameters, which will serve as a guide for cosmetic and reconstructive surgery in Indian women.

When indicated, redundant anterior platysmal bands are resected instead of approximated. Evaluation of these anterior bands preoperatively for thickness and degree of descent allows more precise decision-making regarding the need to resect redundant and excessively thick or long anterior platysmal bands. The added advantage of the strong fixation of the platysma in a vertical fashion to Loré’s fascia (the tympanoparotid fascia) leads not only to an improvement in the contour of the...

Plastic surgeons should consider the aesthetic outcome when planning mastectomy and reconstruction. Our ability to predict the high-risk population has improved and it is that population who can get the best benefit from this intervention. The recommendation against subcutaneous prophylactic mastectomy lacks scientific evidence. There is plenty of evidence that prophylactic mastectomy lowers the risk of breast cancer in the high-risk population in at least 95%. Our experience with prophylactic mastectomy is extremely satisfactory, with an overall patient satisfaction rate of 94%, no mortality, and an oncologic long-term outcome of 0% of ulterior development of breast cancer.

This type of implant had been used since 1998, but its use was prohibited in China in 2006 due to numerous complications that had arisen from its use. In one case, a rare appearance of PAAG tissue degeneration was observed 7 years after an injectable breast augmentation using PAAG.

The dark side of the trend is exemplified by the tragic case of a 31-year-old Swedish woman who upon seeing a web advertisement went to Gdansk, Poland, to have breast augmentation. The operation was performed in an old hospital quite different from the modern hospital depicted in the ad. As a result of the grave mistakes in anesthetic care and lack of a postoperative recovery routine, the patient sustained severe brain injury because of prolonged hypoxia. Now, 6 months after the fateful operation, the patient is decorticated and has only vegetative functioning of the left side of the brain. Firm managers, who do not have any medical t...

The data of this prospective study contradict the misconception that mammaplasty techniques with resections at the breast base leave the patient with reduced breast sensitivity because the fundamental neural pathways, such as the lateral neurovascular pedicle, are preserved.

However, with a megafilling session satisfaction is achieved earlier and it is possible to reduce hospital costs in terms of gauze, gloves, and other items.

Since 1988, the author’s unit has pursued and improved a technique that could provide shorter recovery times, minimal morbidity, and predictable results for a population consisting primarily of adults. This minimally invasive technique can achieve these goals with excellent long-term aesthetic outcomes.

According to the authors’ experience and another report, this complication occurs in 1% to 2% of cases. The inclusion of this complication in the informed consent form should be considered. Long-term studies designed to investigate the underlying causes of late seroma are warranted for the prevention and treatment of this complication.

In most cases, the cyst is filled with a keratin-like material. When this tumor is solid, a histologic evaluation may be necessary. When the cyst has been excised, the umbilicus gets reconstructed after the abdominoplasty. A history of poor healing in the umbilicus area may arouse suspicion of an epidermoid cyst. Epidermoid cysts in the region of the umbilicus could easily be overlooked in preparation of the umbilicus. Content Type Journal ArticlePages 1-5DOI 10.1007/s00266-011-9749-1Authors Colette C.

It is minimally invasive and performed through a small axillary or submammary incision. It is simple, offers little trauma, has less bleeding, and results in a good outcome based on our follow-up assessment in the medium term. It is our preferred method for the treatment of capsular contracture.

Treatment included debridement of necrotic tissue and healing of the wound by secondary intention (vacuum-assisted closure and dressings with calcium alginate). Complete healing was achieved in 4 months. As the patient refused any new procedure, skin grafting was not performed. The aesthetic results of plastic surgery procedures are often imperfect. Patients should be clearly prepared and informed about the results expected from the operation. Surgeons should know contraindications for reoperation.

Low long-term retention rate and unpredictability limit it from widespread clinical practice. Many theories for this have been proposed: lack of sufficient blood supply and subsequent necrosis is the most accepted. In this pilot study, we showed both macroscopically and microscopically the viability of muscle-derived stem cells (MDSCs) cotransplanted with fat placed intramuscularly for 3 months. MRI scanning showed a stronger fat signal in the MDSC-treated group than that of the control group. Moreover, histological evaluation exhibited well-preserved and intact fat cells in the MDSC-treated group. In contrast, the control group showed extensive fibrosis and fat...

The 21 patients in the study were treated for gender reassignment of the male frontal bone using HAC. The average age of these patients was 33.4 years (range, 21–42 years). The average volume of HAC used per patient was 3.83 g. The authors’ clinical series demonstrated a satisfactory result. The surgery was easy to perform, and HAC was easy to apply and shape to suit individual needs. Overall satisfaction was very high. Therefore, HAC is a welcome alternative to the traditional use of autogenous bone graft for correction of cranial vault irregularities.

The key to successful autologous fat grafting is familiarity with the technique, recognizing its limitations, and understanding the goals of the patient. This study has shown that the patient satisfaction rate observed after autologous fat transplantation produces aesthetically acceptable results in correcting post liposuction deformities.

Vaginismus, also known as vaginal penetration disorder, is an aversion to any form of vaginal penetration as a result of painful attempts and a fear of anticipated pain. It is involuntary and uncontrolled and functions much the same as any reflex to avoid injury. It is the most common reason for unconsummated marriages. The etiology is thought to be unknown. Numerous papers note a history of religious or strict sexual upbringing or aversion to penetration because of perceived pain and bleeding with first-time intercourse. Sexual molestation may be more prevalent in this group of patients. The Lamont classification is very helpful in stratifying these patients for ...

It is recommended that in most instances, the lateral brow should be preferentially elevated, whereas the medial brow should undergo minimal or no elevation. Most patients require brow reshaping by restoration of the brow apex lateral to the level of the outer corneal limbus. By comparing eyebrow shape and position in both young and mature women, this study provides objective data that can be used to plan forehead-rejuvenating procedures in Indian women.

Most reported cases have been intracapsular. Although several mechanisms for delayed hematoma have been proposed, its exact etiology and mechanism of formation are not yet fully understood. The authors present a unique case of hematoma formation 5 years after breast reconstruction with a textured anatomic cohesive gel breast implant. The patient experienced severe thrombocytopenia secondary to chemotherapy, which most probably was the triggering etiologic factor. The hematoma was both intra- and extracapsular. The authors speculate that the retrocapsular hematoma component was due to firm adhesion of the textured prosthetic membrane to the pos...

As with any plastic surgery procedure, providing patients with realistic expectations is essential to achieving optimal outcomes and patient satisfaction. Therefore, critical investigation is warranted. In addition, these methods are most effective when included within a comprehensive skin care regimen consisting of sunscreen, vitamin therapy, and lifestyle modification.

However, in recent years it has been gaining acceptance from the medical community. This prospective, nonrandomized open-label study of 20 Japanese women supports the use of autologous fat grafting in breast augmentation and explores enhancement of fat graft tissue with autologous adipose-derived regenerative cells (ADRCs). After adipose harvesting using syringe liposuction, the tissue is processed in the Celution 800 System®, which washes the graft and isolates ADRCs. The average cells per gram of harvested adipose tissue was 3.42 × 105, and the mean cell viability measured using an automated cell counting system before graft delivery was 85.3%. All patients demonstrated...

It may be less traumatic than the conventional method of total capsulectomy. In addition, this technique reduces the relapse rate of capsular contracture significantly compared to a partial capsulectomy or capsulotomy as the new implant is inserted into a scar tissue‐free environment. Good aesthetic results and patient satisfaction was achieved using this method. In our experience, this novel technique is a good alternative method of correcting complications of submuscular implant augmentation.

Initial wound healing and recurrence after one year were evaluated. All but one flap showed uneventful wound healing, and all the flaps presented without any signs of recurrence or instability. The authors suggest that sufficient anchoring using a deepithelialized part of the flap helps to integrate and stabilize sacral rotation flaps.

The BICI appears to be an internally consistent and valid brief multiple-choice instrument for assessing dysmorphic concern. To our knowledge, this is the first time that this measure has ever been used for identifying BDD patients in a rhinoplasty setting; it is also the first time that ROC analysis has been used for calculating and analyzing the results of BICI. Our study suggests that rhinoplasty surgeons could rely on the scores of the BICI to identify subjects with probable BDD among their consultants with no or one slight defect.

Representative cases from patients in their 30s, 40s, and 50s are presented. In the author’s clinical practice, multimodal approaches incorporating fractionated laser, injectable poly-l-lactic acid, and sub-SMAS face-lift procedures have achieved optimal aesthetic outcomes, high patient satisfaction, and durability of aesthetic effect over time.

The platelet gel provides growth factors while the fibrin glue creates a scaffold that allows stabilization and diffusion of nutrients to the cartilage graft.

By performing the procedure in a staged approach, operating room expenses are minimized, which ultimately decreases the cost of the procedure. Adipose-derived regenerative cells may mitigate early ischemia by increasing angiogenesis, decreasing apoptosis, and modulating the local inflammatory response. This technique may be of particular value to the surgeon when grafting high volumes of fat or when faced with hostile recipient area conditions, including fibrosis and post radiation.
