Platysma-SMAS rhytidectomy--a personal modification.

An approach to SMAS-platysma system rhytidectomy is described which has the benefits of deep-layer meloplasty without the undue risk inherent in approaches that widely undermine this system. The technique has been used on 100 consecutive patients with few complications. These include 1 hematoma that required surgical evacuation, 8 minor hematomas, and 4 skin sloughs. There was no facial nerve paralysis or alopecia.

Autologous fibroblasts for treatment of facial rhytids and dermal depressions. A pilot study.

OBJECTIVE: To assess effectiveness of intradermal injections of autologous fibroblasts for the treatment of facial rhytids and dermal depressions. DESIGN: Six-month prospective pilot study. Photographs and silicone molds were taken of a prominent rhytid or dermal depression from each patient prior to treatment and at 6 months after treatment. SETTING: Specialty clinic in academic medical center. PATIENTS: Ten adults (age range, 24-69 years) who each exhibited a prominent rhytid or depressed facial scar. INTERVENTION: A 3-mm postauricular skin biopsy specimen from each participant was sent to Isolagen Technologies, Inc, laboratories, where a fibroblast cell line was developed. Three injection sessions were performed at 2-week intervals; target areas were the study site as well as behind the ear. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Subjective improvement scores were obtained by each patient and 2 clinicians at every follow-up visit. Skin surface topographical features were evaluated with optical profilometry by comparing silicone molds before and after injection. Histological analysis was performed on a biopsy specimen of the postauricular injection site. RESULTS: Nine of 10 patients noted a 60% to 100% improvement with the treatment; clinicians made similar observations. Size reduction of 10% up to 85% of the study site was demonstrated by optical profilometry for every patient. Microscopically, there was evidence of increased thickness and density of dermal-layer collagen. CONCLUSIONS: Intradermal injection of autologous fibroblasts may be an effective treatment option for facial rhytids and depressed scars.

Power-assisted lipoplasty (PAL): A clinical pilot study comparing PAL to traditional lipoplasty (TL).

The subject of this paper is a study designed to compare power-assisted lipoplasty (PAL) to traditional lipoplasty (TL) in 30 patients. PAL was used on one side and TL was used on the matching contralateral body area. In PAL, a cannula powered by medical-grade nitrogen (N(2)) reciprocates between 2000 and 4000 cpm with a 2-mm stroke. The device is commercially offered by MicroAire Surgical Instruments. While there was no difference in the speed of recovery or in the aesthetic quality of the result between the two sides, PAL was found considerably superior as far as ease of fat extraction.
