Skin grafts: the "unsuture' technique.
Small skin grafts are often the most appropriate treatment of skin defects on the face, as in the areas of the nasal tip and the anterior surface of the auricle. An improved technique for suturing the graft and applying the stent is described that uses rapidly absorbed 6-0 mild chromic sutures and a protective stent that is taped in a radial fashion. This technique has proved to yield appropriate graft results as well as avoiding a number of the inconveniences of traditional grafting and stent methods.

Soft tissue facial trauma.
Treatment of soft tissue facial trauma requires attention to detail. Careful cleansing, debridement, tailoring of skin edges and meticulous closure are factors which control the ultimate result. Specific attention is required for the special problems of eyelids, auricles, lips, nose and inside of the mouth. Scar formation occurs after all trauma and sometimes requies revision. In general, revision should be performed after maturation of the scar.
