SPECIAL TOPICS: The Infracartilaginous Approach Revisited
Tasman, A.-J., Palma, P. Mon, 17 Nov 2008 00:00:00 -0000
The last decade has seen a marked increase in the use of the external approach for primary and secondary rhinoplasties. As a consequence, endonasal techniques are taught less and the external approach is increasingly being used for minor corrections. We review the infracartilaginous approach as an elegant variant of the endonasal approach and, for many procedures, a suitable alternative to the external approach and describe the technique of the infracartilaginous approach and illustrate its options with cases that, for the majority of rhinoplasty surgeons, would call for an external approach. We adopted the infracartilaginous approach as the preferred technique for most tip sculpting and repositioning procedures. The infracartilaginous approach is technically more challenging compared with the open approach in teaching situations. This, however, does not imply that the technique should therefore be abandoned. On the contrary, we are convinced that the technique can and should be taught and learned.
SPECIAL TOPICS: Advances in Craniofacial Surgery
Tatum, S. A., Losquadro, W. D. Mon, 17 Nov 2008 00:00:00 -0000
The past 10 years have witnessed many advances in craniofacial surgery. Advances in surgical techniques, such as distraction osteogenesis and endoscopic procedures, combined with refinements in surgical equipment, such as resorbable plating and distractors, have improved surgical outcomes, while minimizing morbidity. Technological advances in 3-dimensional imaging, computer simulation, and intraoperative navigation facilitate diagnosis, preoperative planning, and surgical execution. Rising cases of deformational plagiocephaly owing to increased supine infant sleep positioning necessitated the development of appropriate diagnosis and treatment and the avoidance of unnecessary surgery. A greater understanding of the genetic basis of craniofacial disorders has allowed better preoperative assessment and counseling. Finally, efforts to develop better bone graft substitutes with gene therapy and nanotechnology are ongoing.
SPECIAL TOPICS: Lasers and Optical Technologies in Facial Plastic Surgery
Wu, E. C., Wong, B. J. F. Mon, 17 Nov 2008 00:00:00 -0000
Lasers and optical technologies play a significant role in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery. The unique ability of optical technologies to target specific structures and layers in tissues to effect chemical, mechanical, or thermal changes makes them a powerful tool in cutaneous rejuvenation, hair removal, fat removal, and treatment of vascular lesions such as port-wine stains, among many other procedures. With the development of adjunct techniques such as epidermal cooling, lasers and optical technologies have become more versatile and safe. The constant improvement of existing applications and the emergence of novel applications such as photodynamic therapy, nanoparticles, spectroscopy, and noninvasive imaging continue to revolutionize aesthetic medicine by offering a minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgery. In the future, therapies will be based on individualized, maximum, safe radiant exposure to deliver optimal dosimetry. Lasers and optical technologies are headed toward safer, easier, more quantifiable, and more individualized therapy.

Improving Outcomes in Autologous Breast Reconstruction
Thu, 27 Nov 2008 09:39:34 -0000
Abstract Autologous breast reconstruction can often provide a more aesthetic outcome than other options for breast reconstruction because breast volume and shape can be extensively modified based on individual need, the texture of the reconstructed breast is a closer match to the native breast, and complications such as capsular contracture are avoided. However, with these benefits come the potential for complications unique to autologous tissue transfer. While overall complications are low, there are ways to maximize operative success and minimize the risk of complications. Deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEP) flaps, the current mainstay in choice of autologous reconstruction, provide generally good outcomes. However, improvements in outcomes can still be achieved with a better understanding of individual anatomy. Perforator size, location, intramuscular and subcutaneous course, and association with motor nerves are all factors that can significantly affect operative technique, length of operation, and operative outcomes. With significant variation between individuals, preoperative imaging has become an essential element of DIEP flap surgery. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is currently the gold standard but evolving techniques such as magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and image-guided stereotaxy are rapidly contributing to improved outcomes.

Bilateral Intra-Areolar Polythelia: Report of a Rare Case
Thu, 27 Nov 2008 09:39:34 -0000
Abstract A very rare case of bilateral intra-areolar polythelia with two nipples in each breast is presented. There were no other associated malformations and the patient’s family history was normal. Surgical correction was performed for cosmetic reasons at the patient’s request using transposition flaps in a Z-plasty design. The aesthetic and functional results were satisfactory.

Overresection of the Lower Lateral Cartilages: A Common Conceptual Mistake with Functional and Aesthetic Consequences
Thu, 27 Nov 2008 09:39:33 -0000
Abstract Background Overresection of the lower lateral cartilages to narrow the tip in individuals with thick skin is a common mistake with functional and aesthetic consequences. The most frequent deformities are external valve dysfunction, alar retraction, alar pinch, tip asymmetry, lack of tip definition, and parrot beak deformity resulting from drooping of the tip. Methods In 82 patients who underwent revision surgery from 1998 to 2007 the lower lateral cartilages were missing. To restore function of the external nasal valve and correct aesthetic deformities it is essential to rebuild the anatomical structure. Tip deformities were analyzed pre- and postoperatively based on clinical evaluation and standardized photographs. Patient satisfaction was evaluated subjectively. Results Improvement of the poorly defined tip, the underprojected tip, the overrotated tip, and alar pinch was accomplished in all patients (100%). The function of the external nasal valve was restored in all patients (100%). The postoperative results showed a clear improvement in tip asymmetry (95.0%), tip deviation (76.5%), alar retraction (87.0%), and tip ptosis (85.7%). The average follow-up period was 13.8 months. Forty-eight patients (59.8%) rated the result as “excellent,” 27 (32.9%) as “very good,” 5 (6.1%) as “good,” 1 as “not satisfied” (1.2%). Conclusion Overresection of the lower lateral cartilages to narrow the tip in individuals with thick skin is frequently followed by dysfunction of the external nasal valve and aesthetic deformities. We completely rebuild the structure of the nasal tip. Only an anatomically correct configuration correlates with ideal aesthetics and physiologic function.

Photogrammetric Facial Analysis of Attractive Korean Entertainers
Wed, 26 Nov 2008 20:03:48 -0000
Abstract Background The authors have developed a new digital photogrammetric method of facial analysis known as balanced angular and proportional analysis (BAPA). Using BAPA, the authors analyzed the faces of attractive Korean entertainers. Methods The BAPA approach involves 28 landmarks and 14 measurements (10 proportional and 4 angular measures). Standardized mean angular values of famous entertainers are referred to as recommended aesthetic mean angles (RAMA) and the mean proportional values as the recommended aesthetic mean proportions (RAMP). In this study, 30 frontal views of famous Korean entertainers (15 men and 15 women) were collected from Internet Web pages, and the data analyzed using V-ceph. A t test (with the significance level set at a p value of 0.05) was performed to analyze male versus female comparisons. Results Significant between-group differences (p < 0.05) were found for P-lower face, P-eye height, P-lip, P-interangle, and the mandibular contour in the frontal views. Famous Korean female entertainers differ from famous male entertainers. The women have a shorter lower face, larger eyes, smaller lips, and a more slender and oval shape of the mandibular soft tissue contour. Conclusions The authors insist that facial analysis should take into consideration racial, ethnic, and gender differences. The BAPA approach is a new practical and simple method for photogrammetric facial analysis. Using the authors’ method, more advanced and automated computer systems for analyzing human faces may be developed.
