A method of medial canthal ligament reconstruction is presented. The method requires an intact medial orbital wall and orbital periosteum. The technique has been useful following radical surgical ablation of a medial canthal area neoplasm. The principle is simple and effective and would seem applicable in the treatment of telecanthus from a variety of causes.
A method of repair is presented for correction of both the abnormally enlarged nipple-areolar complex with herniation of breast tissue through a dilated and enlarged areola, and of enlarged areolae following pregnancy. A simultaneous augmentation mammaplasty can be performed when indicated. The deep double-layered closure reduces tension on the areolar suture line and minimizes postoperative enlargement of the reconstructed areola.
