Background: The purpose of this study was to propose a surgical algorithm for revision otoplasty, based on an evaluation of patient concerns, desires, and clinical findings. A series of instructive cases is presented. Methods: Thirty-six patients with an average age of approximately 15 years (range, 6 to 61 years), who underwent revision otoplasty between 2006 and 2011, were included. Demographic data, complications, indications for revision surgery, and operative details were retrieved from case notes and preoperative and postoperative photographs. Aesthetic outcomes were assessed by three independent plastic surgery consultants using a survey with 15 questions. Results: Indications for revision otoplasty included recurrent prominence/undercorrection, distortion of scaphoid fossa, distortion of antihelical fold, hypertrophic conchal bowl, and telephone ear. The relevant surgical technique was performed according to the patient's concerns and aspirations in line with the proposed protocol of treatment and included the following: posterior suturing, conchal bowl reduction, reconstruction with conchal cartilage, or reconstruction with cost al cartilage. Conclusions: Otoplasty is performed frequently in young patients, and unsuccessful surgery can have a negative impact on their quality of life. Suturing techniques are safer than sculpting techniques, which can cause permanent ear deformity. Complications after sculpting techniques can lead to ear reconstruction. The proposed algorithm for revision otoplasty addresses the whole variety of ear deformations, providing the surgical options available to address these abnormalities. CLINICAL QUESTION/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic, IV.
Subjective assessment of results after laser treatment for birthmarks does not provide a validated method for clinicians. Previous reports concerning objective evaluation using L*a*b color coordinates were only partially successful due to difficulties in standardizing and comparing colors from pre- and posttreatment photographs. The study aimed to present a reliable and clinically applicable method of aesthetic result assessment after laser treatment for birthmarks. All 48 patients, included in the study, were treated for birthmarks on the face or neck using laser. Each pre- and posttreatment photograph was subjected to triple objective comparative assessment of color fading with use of a computer program, as well as to subjective evaluation by three core physicians and three laypeople. Objective analysis was based on an innovative method using combined L*a*b and hue saturation value color coordinates. Accuracy was higher between objective assessment with the computer program and subjective evaluation by core physicians than by laypeople. Repeatability of results was higher with the use of the computer program than among core physicians or among laypeople. In conclusion, our method may be considered for objective assessment of the results after laser treatment of vascular and pigmented birthmarks.
The nose plays an important role in the respiratory tract and is one of the most visible organs on the face due to its central position. It emphasizes the shape of the eyes, is an integral part of the face, and co-decides for its aesthetics as a whole. In clinical practice, there is no universal concept of the ‘perfect face’, nor is there a specific shape of the nose, considered a model of beauty. Normal range of the values describing nasal shape varies depending on race and gender. In order to achieve a very good result of aesthetic surgery for an each individual patient, surgeon must include to the preoperative planning of rhinoplasty the differences of nasal shape in relation to gender and ethnicity.
Abstract Background The popularity of body piercing procedures is increasing around the world. Body piercing, depending on the age and social group, is believed to involve up to 51% of the general population. Complications following piercing procedures are variable. Objective To present an unusual complication after lower lip piercing – embedding of a stud into the lip – and to determine why it occurred from the side of the mucous membrane and not from the side of the skin. Methods A 21‐year‐old man presented to the plastic surgery outpatient clinic with embedding of piercing into the lower lip. Results In lateral X‐ray film, a metallic shadow was observed in the area of the oral soft tissues. The length of the stick was only 8 mm. In this patient, a stick that was too short in relation to the thickness of the lip was used. In this situation, the ends of the stud pressed too strongly on the surrounding tissues. Consequently, this may have caused necrosis of the mucous membrane and embedding of the stud into the lip. Conclusion The observations described confirm a higher susceptibility to mechanical pressure of the mucous membrane than of the skin. An increasing rate of complications after body piercing reflects a lack of medical knowledge in individuals performing such procedures.
As a burgeoning technique in reconstructive and aesthetic surgery, lipofilling's success is hindered by the unpredictability of graft integrity and quality. This study addresses the critical need to enhance consistency and reproducibility by exploring the clinical utility of adipose tissue from specific body areas, considering the influence of patient-specific factors and mechanical processing on fat graft integrity and morphology.
