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.

Surgical Treatment of Gynecomastia with Severe Ptosis: Periareolar Incision and Dermal Double Areolar Pedicle Technique
Sun, 21 Dec 2008 08:29:38 -0000
Abstract Background Gynecomastia is a morphostructural impairment of the mammary region in men caused by parenchymal hypertrophy or a cutaneous distortion of breast skin covering or both. The clinical classification introduced by Simon et al. in 1973 ranks gynecomastia in three degrees. Each subtype can be treated with a specific technique. This article describes an alternative surgical procedure for treating gynecomastia with severe ptosis (type III and type IIIb of Simon’s classification). Methods Fifty-eight patients were treated for gynecomastia in our Plastic Surgery Unit from 1996 to 2004. The cutaneous excess of periareolar skin is evaluated by a pinching test. A circular periareolar mark is traced corresponding to the cutaneous excess that has to be removed. Initially, liposuction of adipous tissue on the periphery of the mammary region is performed through two cutaneous 3-mm incisions at the 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock positions around the areola. After this, the liposuction incisions are enlarged from 10 o’clock to 8 o’clock and from 2 o’clock to 4 o’clock to create access for the mastectomy. This dissection creates a double dermal areolar pedicle. The new areolar position is fixed with a Benelli round block suture. Results A resolution of the morphologic deformity without evident scars after hair growth and a correction of the breast deformity has been observed in the 6-month follow-ups conducted for all the patients. Conclusion We observed that the vascular-nervous net under the areola at 12 o’clock and 6 o’clock is very important, more so than the lateral pedicle, and the conservation of a double vascular-nervous pedicle reduces significantly the risk of areolar necrosis, especially in cases of gynecomastia type III and in cases where there is a high degree of breast malformation such as the tuberous breast.

Effect of Verapamil on Reduction of Peri-implant Capsular Thickness
Sun, 21 Dec 2008 08:29:38 -0000
Abstract Silicone is a material commonly used in reconstructive and aesthetic surgery, but capsular formation is a very frequent complication of silicone implants. This study aimed to investigate whether verapamil, a calcium-channel blocker, can reduce the thickness of the peri-implant capsule in rats when it is instilled into the subcutaneous pockets. For this study, 60 female Wistar albino rats were used, and cubes of silicone blocks (10 × 10 × 5 mm) were crafted. The rats were divided into five groups of 12 each, and the groups were distinguished according to the use of silicone and artificially created hematoma relevant to administration of a single dose of 5 mg verapamil (Isoptin). The control group was left without silicone. In two of the four silicone groups, hematoma was artificially created around the silicone by a 1-ml injection of blood. The implants were removed 6 months later, and capsulectomy was performed. Under light microscopic examination, no severe inflammation was observed in any of the capsule tissues. Additionally, the thickness of the capsule was measured and found to be significantly reduced statistically in all the verapamil-treated groups, including the groups with the artificially created hematoma. In conclusion, based on the statistically significant data obtained in this study, subcutaneous verapamil administration may be a useful adjunct for preventing formation of capsular contracture after silicone implantations. This preliminary work in rats should be confirmed with larger mammals before carefully controlled clinical trials are considered.

Minimally Invasive Combined Treatment for Parry-Romberg Syndrome
Thu, 18 Dec 2008 07:30:57 -0000
Abstract Background Facial hemiatrophy, a typical manifestation of Parry-Romberg syndrome, produces massive face asymmetry, causing marked aesthetic damage and severe psychological discomfort, with repercussions to the psychophysical status of the patient. This article presents a successful combined treatment that results in resolution of symptoms and patient satisfaction. Methods The authors proposed a clinic-therapeutic management comprising a customized program of bio-lipo-intense pulsed light (IPL) remodeling. Results In 2007, at a 1-year follow-up visit, the patient presented a stable result. She is satisfied with the augmentation treatment, the new volume and contours of the face, and the resolution of the sclerosis and ochrodermia. Conclusion The authors have succeeded with a minimally invasive reconstructive technique for Romberg disease using a customized therapeutic program of poly-L-lactic acid, lipofilling, and IPL therapy. They report a case of good healing without recurrences and complications, with a good cosmetic result, and with satisfaction of the patient.
