This paper reviews the senior author's long-term experience with the surgical-psychiatric treatment of 100 aesthetic surgery patients with significant psychological disturbances. Patients with psychological disturbances of a magnitude gener…

This article describes plastic surgery patients who sought symmetrical recontouring of the width of the face and skull. The basic demographic and personality characteristics of these facial width deformity (FWD) patients and the surgical pr…

Bilateral coronal suture immobilization was performed in 9-day-old rabbits to simulate the brachycephaly deformity characteristic of coronal synostosis. Growth abnormalities were documented by serial radiographic cephalometry. A "corrective…

A 22-year-old musician requested the correction of his digital syndactyly deformity without the use of skin grafts. Failure of the original correction to heal primarily resulted in the formation of dense scar tissue. A small, custom-designe…

Fibrous dysplasia is a congenital, metabolic, nonfamilial disturbance that occurs in one or more bones, at times in association with skin pigmentations or endocrine abnormalities. The authors report on a large personal series of 23 patients…

At the University of Virginia Hospital we have developed a new technique of urethroplasty utilizing a full-thickness flap of bladder wall. Tubing and transfer of the flap may be completed in two stages. The bladder flap is approximately 28 …

Head and neck deformities of congenital, traumatic, or neoplastic cause often require reconstruction. At the University of Virginia over the past 14 years, we have used galeal, temporalis fascial, and pericranial flaps to correct these defe…

The increasing use of surgery for sex reassignment in the treatment of transsexualism is described. The author's early experience over a twenty-year period with the Gender Identity teams at The Johns Hopkins University and The University of…

Traumatic fracture of the orbital roof is uncommon and it may be unrecognized at the time of injury. In this article we describe a patient with progressive vertical orbital dystopia four years after he sustained a fracture of his "frontal" …

Reconstruction of extensive compound lower-extremity injuries may require the use of local flaps or free-tissue transfer. When either method alone is inadequate for reconstruction of two isolated defects on the same lower extremity, a combi…

Former classifications of hemangiomas and other congenital vascular anomalies have been confusing, inconsistent, and often unrelated to clinical prognosis. I propose a simplified classification of all vascular hamartomas. Primary involvemen…

The surgical correction of vertical malpositions of the human eye has been made relatively safe and reliable by recent surgical techniques. The authors define this condition as vertical orbital dystopia and review the etiology of this defor…

A periosteal pennant method of primary lateral canthoplasty is described, and it effectively maintains surgical correction of the axis of the palpebral fissure and the position of the lateral canthus. In using it more than 50 times, we have…

Persistence of perioral rhytides is a frequent source of patient concern following standard rhytidectomy. Dissatisfaction with the limited results and occasional complications that result from mechanical, manual, and chemical abrasive metho…

Some children with bilateral cleft lips do not grow a long enough nose and require surgical lengthening of the nose. We review our 12-year experience with a one-stage slide operation to achieve this. Seven males and 5 females had this opera…

Fourteen patients were treated for intraoral epidermoid carcinoma with a single stage reconstructive technic employing a myocutaneous flap based upon the platysma muscle. This flap carries on its distal tip a portion of isolated cervical sk…

A case of hemifacial atrophy was corrected with a free dermal-fat flap, based on the inferior epigastric vessels. Microvascular anastomosis to the facial vessels was used. Ancillary "tailoring" procedures were done later to complete the wor…

The pectoralis major muscle has overcome many of the complications of augmentation mammoplasty after subcutaneous mastectomy. It places the implant deep to prevent skin slough and irregularities in skin surface contour. The flap eliminates …

The biomechanical properties of skin have an important influence on plastic surgical decisions. They aid the surgeon in planning elective incisions, excisions, or scar revisions. They provide insight into the most appropriate method of cove…

Craniofacial surgery is an exciting new subspecialty of medicine. It is strictly a team project that will function well only in a tertiary medical center. Particular coordination is needed among the plastic surgeon, neurosurgeon, anesthesio…

The patient with ear, jaw, and cephalofacial soft tissue deformity presents a challenge, the resolution of which requires a careful program of surgical reconstruction. Restoration of the concavity in the ear region caused by the underdevelo…
