The use of titanium clips in septal surgery for correction and strengthening
Permanent correction of septal deformities is one of the most difficult and controversial subjects in aesthetic nasal surgery. The main reasons for failure in most of the corrective procedures are either not to weaken the septal cartilage enough to straighten it, or to treat the septum too radically causing iatrogenic..Recent advances in reconstructive oral and maxillofacial surgery

Recent advances in reconstructive oral and maxillofacial surgery
Reconstruction within the head and neck is challenging. Defects can be anatomically complex and may already be compromised by scarring, inflammation, and infection. Tissue grafts and vascularised flaps (either pedicled or free) bring healthy tissue to a compromised wound for optimal healing and are the current gold..The Efficacy and Safety of DepoFoam Bupivacaine in Patients Undergoing Bilateral, Cosmetic, Submuscular Augmentation Mammaplasty: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Active-Control Study

The Efficacy and Safety of DepoFoam Bupivacaine in Patients Undergoing Bilateral, Cosmetic, Submuscular Augmentation Mammaplasty: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Active-Control Study
Background: Breast augmentation can result in significant postsurgical pain. Objectives: The authors evaluate the extent and duration of analgesia achieved with extended-release DepoFoam bupivacaine (Pacira Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Parsippany, New Jersey) in patients undergoing bilateral, cosmetic, submuscular..Three-dimensional assessment of zygomatic malunion using computed tomography in patients with cheek ptosis caused by reduction malarplasty

Three-dimensional assessment of zygomatic malunion using computed tomography in patients with cheek ptosis caused by reduction malarplasty
Background: Reduction malarplasty is one of the most popular aesthetic surgical procedures for reshaping facial contour in oriental people. Especially for those who have a wide midface and a prominent zygoma. Although malunion and cheek ptosis are known as major complications in reduction malarplasty, but there have..The reading man flap for closure of large meningomyelocele defects

The reading man flap for closure of large meningomyelocele defects
Background: Closure of the skin defect in myelomeningocele repair is an essential step that determines the quality of the surgical result. In large myelomeningoceles, however, adequate skin coverage may not be accomplished by direct closure or skin undermining. In such cases, the skin defect is best repaired using..Comparison of sensory recovery at the subfascial and suprafascial donor sites of the free radial flap

Comparison of sensory recovery at the subfascial and suprafascial donor sites of the free radial flap
The radial flap may be raised using a subfascial or suprafascial approach. The latter donor site is associated with fewer healing complications. We retrospectively evaluated the quality of sensory recovery within two comparable groups of 30 patients with subfascial and suprafascial donor sites. When considering the two..Upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty - Development of aesthetic periocular plastic surgery

Upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty - Development of aesthetic periocular plastic surgery
The article describes the indications and techniques for blepharoplasty of the upper and lower eyelids as well as combinations with other eyelid correction techniques. Upper eyelid blepharoplasty may include skin excision with orbital fat modulation as well as ptosis correction and definition of the superior sulcus..Impact of the Current Economy on Facial Aesthetic Surgery

Impact of the Current Economy on Facial Aesthetic Surgery
Background: American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) survey data showed a 16.7% decrease in the total number of aesthetic surgical procedures from 2008 to 2009, whereas plastic surgeons have seen an increase of 0.6% in their nonsurgical cosmetic procedures. Objective: The authors describe the results of..Evaluations of aesthetic outcomes of oncoplastic surgery by surgeons of different gender and specialty: A prospective controlled study.

Evaluations of aesthetic outcomes of oncoplastic surgery by surgeons of different gender and specialty: A prospective controlled study.
This prospective trial was designed to assess aesthetic outcomes of oncoplastic surgery. Standardized photographs were taken of 45 breast cancer patients undergoing oncoplastic surgery, preoperatively and 6 and 12 months postoperatively (oncoplastic group), and of 45 patients treated by conservative surgery without..
