ConClusions: The results show immediate, aesthetic, stable in time improvement, thus confirming this method as a simple technique for static restoration in patients who have lost any functional reconstructive possibility. The method also works in patients who underwent facial reanimation requiring slight aesthetic improvement. The application of the modified technique has led to a new appraisal...

The surgical treatment of circular skin defects localized on the nasal ala is always extremely challenging. Such lesions can be repaired by using full-thickness skin graft or skin flaps, normally with poor aesthetic outcomes. Skin grafts do not achieve satisfactory aesthetic results because of the unnatural look of the transplanted skin. If a skin flap is chosen, the choice of which one to empl...

Rhinoplasty has undergone important changes. With the advent of the open structure approach, requirements for structural grafting and direct manipulation of the cartilaginous skeleton through suture techniques have increased substantially. The present review analyzes the current literature on frequently referenced structural grafts and suture techniques. Individual techniques are described and ...

facial reconstruction is one of the most challenging problems faced by a reconstructive surgeon. we present a case of complex facial reconstruction with a composite trauma to the nose resulting in near total loss of skin and lining along with complete loss of left eyebrow with exposed frontal bone and partial loss of the left eyelid. we combined a temporoparietal fascial flap for reconstruction...

The relationship between contextual information and object perception has received considerable attention in neuroimaging studies. In the work reported here, we used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate the relationship between aesthetic judgment and images of objects in their normal contextual setting versus images of objects in abnormal contextual settings and the under...

The extravasation injuries are uncommon complications during the administration of intravenous therapy in small animal veterinary clinic. However, efflux drugs with vesicant or irritant properties can cause severe and/or irreversible functional and aesthetic changes. correct catheterization technique vigilance fundamental preventing appearance iatrogenic injuries. therapeutic approach to this c...

Oral malignancies involving the mandibular bone require a complex reconstructive plan. Mandibular reconstruction with a fibular free flap is currently considered the best choice for functional and aesthetic rehabilitation after oncological surgery. This flap can be modelled with multiple osteotomies and can provide bone, muscle and skin for composite reconstruction. One of the most delicate asp...
