Transcutaneous lower blepharoplasty (skin flap or skin-muscle flap procedures) is indicated for the senile eyelid with excess skin and muscles. If supporting structures (skin, muscle, and septum) show laxity and other aging stigma are present, including tear trough deformity and obvious skeleton rim, Hamra’s procedure (septal reset and fat-replacing technique) is performed.

The aim of this study was to evaluate similarities and differences in the histological features of periprosthetic capsules surrounding silicone implants and polyurethane foam-coated implants and to correlate those features with the age of the implants. Methods  Tissues were studied from 41 periprosthetic capsules surrounding textured prostheses and from 20 capsules surrounding polyurethane foam-coated implants. For each sample we evaluated synovial metaplasia, density of collagen fibers or fibrosis, orientation of collagen fibers, and foreign body reaction (granulomatous reaction).

A Goretex monofilament is inserted between the connective tissue and the perichondrium from the septal, upper lateral, and alar cartilages in a quadrangular fashion. When tightened, it shortens the nose and elevates the tip. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis with the patient under local anesthesia. It offers the patient immediate evaluation of the result. No edema or bruises have been observed. At this writing, 8 months after an application of this procedure, no extrusions or collateral reactions have been found.

Ten female patients aged 28–58 years were studied following aesthetic augmentation of the facial skeleton at 24 sites using porous hydroxyapatite granules. Postoperative CT scans at 3 months served as the baseline measurement and compared with scans taken at 1 and 2 years, with the thickness of the hydroxyapatite measured in axial and coronal planes. Thickness of original bone plus overlay of hydroxyapatite, thickness of the overlying soft tissue, and the overall projection (bone plus soft tissue) were recorded. It was found that 99.7% of the hydroxyapatite was maintained at 2 years, with no statistical difference (t te...

The transaxillary technique offers the advantage of locating the surgical scar off the breast. It requires closer supervision during the first few postoperative months compared with the submammary or periareolar technique because it is more difficult to place and maintain implants at the proper level using the transaxillary approach.

However, body area dissatisfaction was the only significant predictor for the likelihood of having CS, a feature not previously recognized in Asian CS candidates. The higher self-esteem of the CS candidates opposes the view that low self-esteem is a principal motivating factor for CS.

This makes this cartilage more redundant to reshaping procedures (straightening). Thus, special attention must sometimes be paid to this common anatomic variation to produce symmetric nostrils and to obtain a more aesthetically acceptable alar tip.

This technique obtained a significant reduction in the size of the adiposity and an improvement in the neck’s range of motion. At this writing, after 3 years, the patient is satisfied with his cosmetic and functional results. The authors believe that lipolaser-assisted liposuction using the Smartlipo Deka-Mela neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) 1,064-mm-long pulse is effective in reducing the cervicodorsal fat pad. The technique is performed using local anesthesia with low operative risks and minimal surgical trauma. The treated zone shows rapid healing, and the whole procedure requires a day-hospital recovery, thus reducing the costs. Content...

The peri-implant capsule, a physiologic response to a foreign body, is naturally formed and suitable for use as a flap because of its high vascularity. In addition, it is sufficiently tough for suspension of the implant. The authors introduce the idea that the capsular flap is very useful for the correction of symmastia or a lowered inframammary fold. In such situations, the capsular flaps are used to prevent migration of the implant after raising of the inframammary fold or defining of the midline with capsulorrhaphy. This technique successfully corrected the malpositioned implants in thi...

Surgical subcision with a Beaver tympanoplasty blade is undertaken for depressed or adherent scars to release the fibrous attachments beneath the scar before autologous fat grafting. Satisfactory results were observed, with an improvement in surface contour for 16 patients over a 3-year period. The authors recommend the described technique as a safe, minimally invasive, and precise method for subcutaneous dissection of scar tissue before fat injections.

Since 1987, when Donald Nuss performed his technique for the first time, the minimally invasive approach has become the most widely used technique for treating pectus excavatum. Few reported studies have focused on the repair of female pectus excavatum. Women with pectus excavatum often present with breast asymmetry that may require breast augmentation, either before or after pectus excavatum repair. To the authors’ knowledge, no reports on the Nuss procedure after breast implant surgery have been published. This report describes the case of a 26-year-old woman who underwent minimally invasive repair after breast implant surgery. The authors believe that for w...

Rotation is a potential complication for anatomically shaped breast implants. Anatomically shaped saline implants have been reported to have a rotation rate as high as 14%, while lower rotation rates of 1–2.6% for anatomic cohesive gel silicone implants have been reported. Currently, these implants are limited in the United States to US FDA-approved clinical trials. The author reviews the appropriate surgical techniques to prevent rotation when using these devices. A recent innovation, placement of the superior pole of the implant underneath the superficial fascia of the pectoralis major muscle, is described. Primary ...

With the aim of optimizing patient comfort and control over administration of NASHA-based gel, the panel members explored an alternative, sharp-needle technique. In this article we describe the new technique in detail, together with practical recommendations and precautions. The technique has several advantages over blunt-cannula injection: improved patient comfort, lack of need for a skin incision, increased precision regarding the implant position, and improved control of injection volume. However, the sharp-needle technique requires a high level of skill and a good knowledge of facial anatomy. Content Type Journal ArticleCategory Orig...

Likewise, there are fewer immediate postoperative symptoms and patients have a much better and less painful recovery. The morbidity in these patients is less than with the subglandular and submuscular methods.

Results  No complications were observed overall. Patients reported full adherence to the postoperative dressing regimen as well as ease of use, availability, low costs, and pleasing aesthetic appearance under garments. Discussion  Silicone breastfeeding nipple shields offer an efficient, affable, cheap, widely available, and aesthetically pleasing form of postoperative dressing for reconstructed nipples. Their use may enhance patient compliance with the dressing regimen and lower the postoperative complication rate. Content Type Journal ArticleCategory Original Ar...

Cyanoacrylate tissue adhesives as liquid bonding agents are used for fixation of the pinna at the mastoid area. After 10–14 days the bonding can be easily removed. No huge dressings, tapes, or plasters are necessary. The patients are satisfied with the light dressing; they do not feel ashamed to appear in public. We have found this dressing technique to be simple and economical, especially because of the use of the bonding for skin closure before. It can be used after otoplasty with an anterior or a posterior approach.

The literature contains many reports on the subject, and theories were controversial from the 1980s to the 2000s. The aim of this review was to gather together the most important studies on breast prostheses and systemic disease, with particular attention to connective tissue disease (CTD), in order to verify any relationship between silicone breast implants and the occurrence of pathologies.

ArteFill is a third-generation polymeric microsphere-based filler, following its predecessor Artecoll®, which was marketed outside the United States between 1994 and 2006. ArteFill is approved for the correction of nasolabial folds and has been used in over 15,000 patients since its U.S. market introduction in February 2007. No serious side effects have been reported to date according to the FDA’s MAUDE reporting database. ArteFill consists of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) microspheres (20% by volume), 30–50 μm in diameter, suspended in 3.5% bovine collagen solution (80% by volume) and...

ArteFill is the first permanent injectable approved in 2006 by the FDA for nasolabial folds. It consists of cleaned microspheres of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) suspended in bovine collagen. Over the development period of 20 years most of its side effects have been eliminated to achieve the same safety standard as today’s hyaluronic acid products. A 5-year follow-up study in U.S. clinical trial patients has shown the same wrinkle improvement as seen at 6 months. Long-term follow-up in European Artecoll patients has shown successful wrinkle correction lasting up to 15 years. A wide variety of off-label indications and applications have been developed that help the physician meet the individual...

In these operations it is necessary to provide the physician with powerful tools that can underline the behavior of soft tissue. For this reason, considering the improvements provided by the use of 3D scanners in medical diagnosis, we propose a methodology for analyzing facial morphology working with geometrical features. The methodology has been tested on patients with malocclusion in order to analyze the reliability and efficiency of the provided diagnostic results.

Most of the injuries to the system remain asymptomatic. Here we report a case of septorhinoplasty which was complicated by acute dacryocystitis postoperatively. The patient was treated successfully with appropriate medical therapy.

Although the subfascial augmentation mammaplasty has all the advantages of the subpectoral and subglandular augmentation mammaplasties and eliminates the disadvantages of increased postoperative discomfort, implant visibility, and distortion, patients of all three groups had similar rates of satisfaction. Further follow-up is needed in order to compare the long-term effects of the three different planes of insertion.

These include acellular dermis slings, polyglycolic mesh, deepithelialized skin, and muscle. The ideal soft-tissue cover would be supple, easily harvested, of minimal morbidity, of minimal cost, and preferably autologous. We feel that the technique described here has these qualities and allows for complete coverage of silicone implants. An additional benefit of this technique is that it helps to increase the definition of the inframammary sulcus. This method is a good alternative in providing implant coverage during breast reconstruction, especially when there is a large implant or small pectoralis major muscle.

We investigated surgical approaches to skin-sparing mastectomies. Scar positioning and volume replacement were evaluated. We also discuss nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM), probably the most outstanding item in the current debate on breast shape preservation. We give suggestions for safe admission criteria and effective treatment. Content Type Journal ArticleCategory ReviewDOI 10.1007/s00266-009-9382-4Authors Maurizio B.

It affects 1–2% of people of all races, regardless of gender or age. Although the disease does not have any systemic complications, it is of great concern, particularly in darker-skinned individuals.

To prevent major complications the final expected result should not be the aim of a single procedure. Mammary lipografting is a procedure that can be offered to patients for breast reconstructive and cosmetic purposes.

Ptosis occurs commonly in response to aging and breastfeeding. A low nipple position on the breast mound can be corrected by addressing the skin envelope, but maintenance of upper pole fullness and a youthful shape of the breast is the challenge to surgeons. To address this, techniques using local glandular flaps and implants have been suggested. A new technique has been created with regard to a detailed knowledge of the breast gland’s vascular anatomy. The lower breast gland is raised as a large vascularized flap and rotated into a pocket beneath the upper pole. The operative procedure is presented together with the experience of the first author with a consecut...

However, with increasing patient demand for cosmetic rejuvenation and with the strong desire and drive by patients to attain aesthetic enhancement with minimal risk and rapid recovery, there has been a strong surge inspiring the field of nonsurgical skin rejuvenation. Traditionally, most of the nonsurgical methods have centered around those that destroy the epidermis and cause a dermal wound, with resultant dermal collagen remodeling and secondary skin tightening and rhytid improvement. Currently, there is growing interest in a wide range of nonablative interventions that, predictably, are claimed to rejuvenate skin and subcutaneous tissue “safe...

Although currently there is no single treatment proven effective for lymphedema in every patient, suction-assisted lipectomy has been shown to be effective in some patients. Suction-assisted lipectomy offers patients with lower-extremity lymphedema a less invasive, less morbid surgical option compared with traditional excisional techniques. In this article we present a case of lymphedema reduction with suction-assisted lipectomy in a patient with bilateral lower-extremity lymphedema.

The true incidence is not known and the condition is underrecorded and undertreated. Medial capsulorrhaphy is the treatment of choice and can be accomplished in a single or staged procedure. Muscle-splitting submuscular biplane is used to correct synmastia following subglandular mammoplasty. The procedure allows the use of undisturbed submuscular anatomy and obviates the need for capsulorrhaphy. Methods  A retrospective single-surgeon record of over 1900 implant-related surgeries included five patients treated for synmastia. Four had their primary surgery done by the author and one was a secondary referral. Only one patient was aware of the condition and revision was done excl...

To inform the discussions, a survey was undertaken to explore women’s attitudes and opinions. The survey showed that significant numbers of women take the initial steps but do not proceed to surgery. This represents a failure to meet the needs of many women who stand to benefit from surgery. It also represents a waste of resources. Cost and fear are important factors, but a crucial consideration for women is whether they can find a surgeon they can trust. The panel recommends using standard consultation procedures, ensuring good clinic organization, managing expectations, dispelling myths, and providin...

A new method with two steps is proposed. First, a laser is used to make a small hole for removal of the content. Then the cyst wall is removed entirely with a minimal excision about 1 month later. With this method, the cyst is completely removed with only a small scar. It offers a good alternative for eradication of uninfected cysts, especially large cysts or cysts located in areas of thick skin or cosmetic concern.

The higher expression of TIMPs in capsular tissue of patients with smooth silicone gel implants might be a reason for the observed higher rates of capsular contracture. In the future, a nonoperative treatment that decreases TIMPs but increases the activity of MMPs may be an appropriate therapy for patients with capsular contracture.
