Hair reconstruction of the burned chin region using a pre-expanded free temporo-parietal skin flap. About a case.

Reconstruction of the chin region represents a technical challenge due to its three-dimensional configuration and its location close to the mouth. It requires both a functional approach by restoring mobility and an aesthetic approach by restoring the perioral furrows. For men who want to wear a beard, it becomes more difficult to choose the donor site for hairy skin.

[Burns caused by nitrous oxide cylinder misuse].

Unlabelled: In recent years, we have seen an increase in the frequency of the misuse of nitrous oxide as a narcotic. The risks associated with its use are now well-known, such as neurological and psychiatric risks. In this study, we report our experience with specific thigh burns when using nitrous oxide canisters for narcotic purposes.

A Dynamic Anatomic Study of Parasacral Perforators: Mapping, Perforasome, and Applications for Buttock Enhancement.

Background: Due to the lack of knowledge about parasacral artery perforators, flaps from this region cannot be used with complete confidence in their security and effectiveness. Knowledge of the clusters and perforasome of these perforators could help in the design of more reliable flaps and extend the range of applications.

Objectives: This study aimed to identify the location, number, and density of perforators, and to subsequently analyze the perfusion flow and linking vessel distribution.

Autologous Gluteal Augmentation with Parasacral Perforator-Pedicled Propeller Flaps.

Background: De-epithelialized flaps have been used in gluteal contouring over the last three decades, but most improve the projection rather than the upper quadrants. The authors provide a detailed description of their method of gluteal augmentation using parasacral perforator-pedicled propeller flaps. This technique achieves a volumetric increase and maximal buttock projection at the midlevel and in the medial half of the buttocks.

Risk Factors for Complications after J Medial Thighplasty following Massive Weight Loss: A Multivariate Analysis of 94 Consecutive Patients.

Background: Bariatric surgery has increased the number of patients requiring medial thighplasty after massive weight loss. However, despite the various complications, the procedure improves quality of life. The authors report postoperative complications of vertical J-shaped medial thigh lift in a series of patients and identify preoperative risk factors.
