A modification of circumnipple breast augmentation is described, which confines the minimal scar to the base of the nipple. Furthermore, a longitudinal breast parenchyma dissection is performed for breast pocket dissection that limits the i…

Many patients throughout the world have had breast augmentation using injectable materials. In the Far East, an adulterated impure silicone has been used by non-medical persons and unlicensed 'cosmetic surgeons' as well as by licensed physi…

This study was undertaken to quantify the path of the inferior alveolar nerve in the normal human mandible and in the mandibles of patients presenting for cosmetic reduction of the mandibular angles. The goals were: (1) to provide normative…

The microsurgical second toe wrap-around technique is an ideal treatment option for reconstruction of the distal half of the finger with circumferential loss of skin and nail associated with an uninjured proximal interphalangeal joint and a…

The complications of Oriental blepharoplasty are described according to their clinical appearance and anatomic findings at the time of surgery. The surgical correction of these complications is presented. A total of 42 patients with complic…

Reanimation of the face following facial nerve paralysis, especially the socially important smile, presents a complex surgical challenge requiring an individualized approach. Both neural and non-neural operative procedures have been used in…

Three cases of duplications of stomatodeal structures are reported. One had an accessory mouth that could move simultaneously with his mouth at sternal notch. Another had a teeth-bearing bony mass at left maxilla with excessive upper lip an…

A case of left facial elephantiasis neurofibromatosa was treated with near-total excision and skin graft. Results were favorable. Repositioning of canthal ligaments, preserving part of relatively normal masseter muscle and primary nasal rec…

Our experience with simultaneous transfer of two or more toe units to the same hand where multiple digits were missing is presented. Forty-six toes from 38 feet were transferred to reconstruct 19 hands in 19 patients. The transfers consiste…

The trimmed-toe transfer is a new modification of the existing great-toe transfer technique for thumb reconstruction. This procedure was devised to circumvent patient concerns regarding overly large reconstructed digits following total grea…

Satisfactory coverage of some deep burn wounds is very difficult. During the past year, 20 de-epithelialized turn-over flaps have been used to cover deep burn wounds in 17 patients. Most of the wounds resulted from electrical injuries which…
