[Aesthetic blepharoplasty].

Suzanne Noël, a pioneer of aesthetic surgery in Europe, first published her results with cosmetic blepharoplasty in 1926, in a book entitled: "The social role of aesthetic surgery". Paul Tessier further expanded the range and surgical possibilities of blepharoplasty by incorporating lateral canthopexies and underlying the importance of the craniofacial skeleton. Other authors in the 20th century brought their own technical refinements to this operation, such as the transconjunctival route, and various fat preserving modifications as well as lipostructure.

[Intraluminal absorbable device to assist in vascular microanastomosis. Experimental study on 20 rat aortas].

The subject of this experimental study is a cylindrical device, with a gauge adjusted to the vessel lumen, which disintegrates in a few minutes. The goal of this device is to increase the reliability of vascular microanastomosis. This study was designed to assess the efficacy and drawbacks of the device.

[Indications and results of breast implant replacement with implants pre-filled with silicone gel].

Based on a series of 74 patients, the authors report their experience of reoperation on unsatisfactory breast implants by the implant replacement technique using silicone prefilled implants. In 92 (57.8%) of the 160 cases, the implant was modified because of a peri-implant capsule, with a satisfactory aesthetic result after only a single operation.
