[BACKGROUND] Many have challenged the safety of performing breast augmentation and mastopexy simultaneously. However, staging these procedures incurs the increased risk and inconvenience of two periods of anesthesia and recuperation. The au…

[BACKGROUND] With the continued popularity of lumpectomy and radiation therapy for many early-stage breast cancer patients, a considerable number of large-breasted patients are being identified who are unhappy with subsequent asymmetry and …

[BACKGROUND] Narcotic pain medications are a significant component of most postoperative pain control regimens. Although they are usually effective, they produce several untoward side effects and sometimes provide inadequate analgesia. The …

Intraoperative tissue expansion is an adjunct that has been used during rhytidectomy to rejuvenate the face and neck. This technique has been thought to allow for additional skin resection and, thus, increased skin tightening during rhytide…

The umbilicus is essential to the aesthetic appearance of the abdomen. However, little research exists on what characterizes an aesthetically pleasing umbilicus. Often, the plastic surgeon is called on to reconstruct the umbilicus. Although…

Computer-generated slide graphics have significantly altered the face of audiovisual presentations. However, it remains to be determined if dramatic effects enhance presentation clarity and increase information retrieval. This study compare…

Routine subpectoral or subglandular mammary augmentation in women with a small breast (particularly lower pole deficiency) often results in poor late results with the appearance of a double-bubble deformity. We describe our experience with …

A critical comparison of the contracture rate in subglandular versus subpectoral augmentations was done in a personal series (senior author's) of 100 consecutive augmentation patients, 50 with subglandular augmentation and 50 with subpector…

This case presents the dilemma of a scalp infection emerging at the conclusion of soft-tissue expansion. Basic principles of wound infection would dictate that the foreign body (the inflatable prosthesis) be removed and that the infection b…

We have defined a group of patients with a lesser degree of moderate breast ptosis whose ptosis correction is not adequately improved by augmentation alone but requires some elevation of the nipple-areola complex. We have selected the cresc…

Since 1972, the groin flap has been used as an excellent source of skin coverage for the hand. This flap can incorporate the underlying iliac crest to provide both soft tissue and vascularized bone for the reconstruction of complex hand inj…

A technique for construction of external male genitalia in a transsexual patient is presented in detail. The McGregor groin flap is used for penile construction, and the Scott inflatable prosthesis is used to produce an erection. The shape …

The psychosocial deformity associated with total lack of facial animation (as seen in Möbius syndrome) is an extremely crippling situation. This inability to show happiness, sadness, or anger by facial expression frequently results in sever…

We have done subpectoral augmentations on 100 women to enlarge the small or hypomastic breast to a pleasing degree. These operations were performed in a major hospital operating room, under local anesthesia, on an ambulatory basis. No compl…

We present a simple operation, performed under local anesthesia, to restore essential movement to the side of a lower lip paralyzed by injury to the mandibular branch of the facial nerve. The operation consists of a limited lateral resectio…
