A new technique of reduction mammaplasty: dermis suspension and elimination of medial scars.

In the last decades new techniques of reduction mammaplasty significantly improved the results obtained and led to a reduced incidence of complications. However, some important problems like the loss of a natural submammary fold and alteration in the shape of the breast with time still remained mostly unsolved and the medial scars in the inverted T techniques are aesthetically unsatisfying. A new strategy for reduction mammaplasty has been developed based on a combination of advantages of other techniques. The principle of using de-epithelialized infra-areolar skin for dermis suspension prevents sagging of the remaining breast tissue behind the inframammary fold to create a long-lasting, natural shape of the reduced breast with an accentuated submammary fold. The central pedicle is favoured because of good modelling even in big reductions. Better vascular and nerve supply of the nipple-areola complex and the continuity of the lactiferous ducts are further advantages of the central pedicle. Secondary operations after reduction mammaplasty or augmentation usually dictate the use of a superior pedicle together with the dermis suspension technique. B-shaped skin incisions prevent medial submammary scars and can be used up to a 10 cm transposition distance of the nipple without disadvantage. The operative technique is described in detail. Examples are given for the primary procedure and the technique as a secondary correction. The principle of dermis suspension in combination with the prevention of a medial scar is applicable to reduction mammaplasty as well as mastopexy.     

Shortscar Face-Lift with the RoundBlock SMAS Treatment: A Younger Face for All

Background Performing a face-lift for smokers, bald people, and those looking for a quick recovery is always a challenge. The submucosal aponeurotic system (SMAS) plication technique with limited undermining provides great suspension and has proved to be a safe and fast way to perform a face-lift surgery. Methods The procedure is a suspension technique for face-lifting based on a purse-string suture around the ear that allows all the soft tissues of the face and neck to be elevated and anchored in the strong structures of the cranial muscles and aponeurosis. This allows a harmonic volumetric repositioning and results in almost no dead space because the circular plication diminishes the surgical undermining when stretched. A total of 225 face-lifts were performed. Results Because this procedure offers quick recovery and long-lasting results with minimal complications, patients become fearless about face-lift surgery. Conclusions The RoundBlock SMAS treatment is a suspension method for face-lifts that is safe and fast, results in reduced scars and no dead space, requires no drains, and has a quick recovery time.     

Fascio-fascial suspension technique in medial thigh lifts

Redundant thigh tissue can be corrected by the thigh lift. However, this is a seldomly used procedure because of postoperative problems such as inferiorly displaced and wide scars, vulvar distortion, and early recurrence of ptosis. In order to limit these complications, we developed a deep anchoring technique based on the overlap of the adductor longus and gracilis fasciae. A group of 18 patients underwent a medial thigh lift using this technique and were followed for at least 12 months after surgery. The fascio-fascial suspension gives strong vertical support with minimal tension on the skin, thereby reducing the complications traditionally associated with this procedure.     

Mutaf procedure: expanding the indications

Depressed scars may be congenital or acquired. Different methods have been widely used for the correction of these deformities. The Mutaf procedure was described previously for the correction of the constriction ring syndrome. In this article, the indication was expanded to include non-congenital scars. Eighteen patients underwent the Mutaf procedure for depressed scar correction. These scars included congenital and non-congenital scars. It was applied to both upper and lower limbs. All flaps survived completely with only one minor complication. The Mutaf procedure is an effective method for correction of large depressed scars.     

Mastopexy utilizing a dermoglandular hammock flap

BackgroundMany procedures have been described in the search for the ideal mastopexy technique, ranging from simple cutaneous reduction, with or without glandular remodelling, to the use of dermal flaps fixed to the pectoral fascia, or even the use of silicone mesh or sheets.ObjectiveWe describe a technique that uses a dermoglandular hammock flap to achieve optimal position and shape of the breast; well located, good quality scars that are as short as possible; and satisfactory early- and long-term results.MethodsA superior pedicle dermoglandular flap was raised from the lower pole of the breast and transposed to the upper pole. The flap is fixed like a hammock to the pectoral fascia and the wedge-shaped donor defect is closed by approximation and fixation of the medial and lateral pillars with absorbable sutures, thus releasing the tension in the skin suture line.ResultsTwenty-eight patients aged 19 to 58 years underwent the procedure. Adequate shape and projection were achieved in all cases. Partial dehiscence of the suture line developed in 1 patient. The scar quality was excellent, except in 2 cases in which some degree of temporary hypertrophy occurred.ConclusionsIn our experience with this technique, we obtained satisfactory position and shape; good quality, well-placed scars; long-lasting results; and preservation of the patient's ability to breast feed. The technique is simple to perform and is indicated in cases of moderate ptosis.     

Minimal Scars for Scalp Surgery

BACKGROUND: As is well known, scars are the indelible ransom of any surgical procedure and the major obstacle confronting patients and surgeons from an aesthetic standpoint. Many patients opt against a surgical solution for this reason only or choose surgical techniques which are sometimes open to question, such as follicular unit extraction. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to change from narrow scars created at present to that of scars minimal to the naked eye, the subject of this article. METHODS: Following a clinical study of more than 100 cases, I present a new surgical technique enabling for the first time the creation of minimal scars to the naked eye. This technique is based on the role of the galea responsible for tension and secondary widening of scars in classical techniques and explains hypodermic incision to eliminate this wound tension, as well as the specific role of deepithelialization of the lower lip of the wound. RESULT: A minimal scar to the naked eye was obtained in most cases with this technique. CONCLUSION: Owing to this major improvement, I have switched from the conventional closure techniques to this new one.     

Prevention of Hypertrophic Scars and Keloids by the Prophylactic Use of Topical Silicone Gel Sheets Following a Surgical Procedure in an Office Setting

BACKGROUND: Topical silicone gel sheeting has been used for more than 20 years to help reduce the size of hypertrophic scars and keloids. Its clinical efficacy and safety is well established. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether topical silicone gel sheeting can be used to prevent hypertrophic scars and keloids from forming following dermatologic skin surgery. METHODS: Patients undergoing skin surgery were stratified into two groups: those with no history of abnormal scarring (low-risk group) and those with a history of abnormal scarring (high-risk group). Following the procedure, patients within each group were randomized to receive either routine postoperative care or topical silicone gel sheeting (48 hours after surgery). Patients were followed for 6 months. RESULTS: In the low-risk group, there were no statistical differences between individuals using routine postoperative care or using topical silicone gel sheets. In the high-risk group, there was a statistical difference (39% versus 71%) between patients who did not develop abnormal scars and used topical silicone gel sheeting and patients who developed abnormal scars after routine postoperative treatment. Those individuals having a scar revision procedure also showed a statistical difference if topical silicone gel sheeting was used following surgery. CONCLUSION: Topical silicone gel sheeting, with a 20-year history of satisfaction in dermatology, now appears to be useful in the prevention of hypertrophic scars and keloids in patients undergoing scar revision.     

Subperiosteal midface lifting: a simplified approach

A simplified approach to subperiosteal midface lifting with suspension is described, which has been performed on 75 patients since 1986. In comparison with standard facelifting, this technique results in long-lasting vertical resuspension of ptotic midfacial tissues. To date there has been a high rate of patient satisfaction with no cases of nerve injury or hematoma. There is a rare incidence of minor complications.     

Cardiac Complications in Deep Chemical Peels

BACKGROUND: Deep chemical peels have been used in dermatology for more than a century. The main indications for this procedure include photoaging, perioral wrinkling, acne scars, and precancerous skin lesions. The most important potential complication of deep peels is cardiotoxicity. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to estimate incidence of cardiac complications during full-face deep chemical peel and to suggest the methods to reduce the rate of this potential complication. METHODS: Clinical data on the patients being treated by full-face deep chemical peel between December 1, 2004, and November 30, 2005, were recorded. Full cardiomonitoring was performed during the peeling procedure. Any arrhythmia or medical intervention was recorded. RESULTS: A total of 181 patients have been treated during the study period. All the patients were female; the mean age was 56 years (range, 30-77 years). In 12 patients (6.6%), cardiac arrhythmia has been recorded during the procedure. Cardiac arrhythmia was more common in patients with diabetes, hypertension, and depression. In 4 patients the arrhythmia was self-limited and did not require any intervention. In the other 8 patients, 100 mg of lidocaine was given intravenously to control the arrhythmia. CONCLUSION: The incidence of cardiac complications in appropriately performed deep chemical peeling is lower than previously appreciated.     

Some ancillary procedures for correction of depressed adherent tracheostomy scars and associated tracheocutaneous fistulae

A procedure for the surgical correction of depressed tracheostomy scars and tracheocutaneous fistulae is described which involves reapproximation of the strap muscles and the selective application of a subcutaneous Z-plasty. The results are predictable, satisfactory, and the procedure is quite simply accomplished. Utilization of the Z-plasty improves contour in patients with atrophic tissue and assists the distribution of tension forces in subcutaneous and muscular layers.
