A New Postoperative Otoplasty Dressing Technique Using Cyanoacrylate Tissue AdhesivesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We present our method of postoperative dressing in the form of liquid bonding. 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. Content T...

Breast Prostheses and Connective Tissue Disease (CTD): Myth or Reality?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract Since their first appearance, breast prostheses have been criticized as being both responsible for and giving rise to systemic disease. 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.

Abstract Patients ask for procedures with long-lasting effects. 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 ...

Abstract Twenty years after my first paper on abdominoplasty, I find that the classification of abdominoplasty remains the same, but new operative techniques allow for accentuated improvement of the results through more liposuction, less undermining in tunnels, and reduction of skin traction. I use the same classification of diagnoses proposed in 1988, dividing the aesthetic alterations into five groups, and describe my experience during a 6-year period with 502 patients.

Abdominal Fascial Flaps for Providing Total Implant Coverage in One-Stage Breast Reconstruction: An Autologous SolutionEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion There are many ways to provide soft-tissue coverage of silicone breast implants in breast reconstruction. 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 ...

A New Approach for Adipose Tissue Treatment and Body Contouring Using Radiofrequency-Assisted LiposuctionEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract A new liposuction technology for adipocyte lipolysis and uniform three-dimensional tissue heating and contraction is presented. The technology is based on bipolar radiofrequency energy applied to the subcutaneous adipose tissue and subdermal skin surface. Preliminary clinical results, thermal monitoring, and histologic biopsies of the treated tissue demonstrate rapid preaspiration liquefaction of adipose tissue, coagulation of subcutaneous blood vessels, and uniform sustained heating of tissue.

Treatment of Upper- and Lower-Extremity Vitiligo with Epidermal Grafts After CO2 Laser Resurfacing with Systemic and Topical SteroidsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract Vitiligo is an acquired condition that presents as sharply demarcated white macules. 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. We treated 14 patients with vitiligo involving the upper and lower extremities. Surgical therapies were used in conjunction with medical therapy to achieve repigmentation after the disease was stabilized.
