Secondary Revisions After Facial Transplantation: Optimizing Functional and Aesthetic Outcomes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION: Facial transplantation (FT) has emerged as a viable option in treating devastating facial injuries. 1-3 The benefits of near normal restoration of multiple functional and aesthetic units in previously non-reconstructable defects have been reported in the literature and media. 1-2 However, as with autologous free tissue transfer, the need for secondary revisions in FT also exists. 3-4 We aimed to quantify the outcomes of secondary revisions and assess the safety and feasibility of such procedures in our cohort.

BACKGROUND Over the past decade, facial vascularized composite allotransplantation has earned its place at the top of the reconstructive ladder. However, as in free tissue transfer, postoperative revisions are necessary to achieve optimal functional and aesthetic results. Although revising a facial vascularized composite allotransplantation may potentially risk the integrity of the graft, the a...

متن کاملComparison of Aesthetic and Functional Outcomes of Spreader Graft and Autospreader Flap in Rhinoplasty
BACKGROUND Although the assignment and suturing of the spreader graft to the septum is a routine part of rhinoplasty, it is a time wasting procedure and some problems may occur. Rather, autospreader flap is a new method that the dorsal part of the upper lateral cartilage is used as its own graft. In the present study, we intended to compare the functional and aesthetic outcomes of these two ...
متن کاملCartilage splitting without stitches: technique and outcomes.
IMPORTANCE Otoplasty procedures usually involve cartilage sparing, with stitches or cartilage scoring. These techniques have been widely reviewed in the literature. The technique reported in this study requires neither stitches nor rasping but rather a complete separation of the helix and antihelix, with nontransfixing incisions to break the cartilaginous springs. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the t...
متن کاملAlloplastic Augmentation of the Asian Face: A Review of 215 Patients.
BACKGROUND Asian aesthetic surgery has become increasingly popular over the last decade, especially augmentation of characteristically flattened facial features. Alloplastic implants are an option for facial augmentation, however many avoid their use due to concerns for morbidity associated with their use. OBJECTIVES To validate our hypothesis that when used properly, alloplastic implants hav...
