Abstract:
Background: Aesthetic nasal dorsal reconstruction is associated with difficulty of long-term control of the graft contour andrnalignment. Fascia-wrapped cartilage has been shown to be histologically superior to Surgicel-wrapped cartilage. The aim ofrnthis study was to present a technique involving use of a diced-cartilage graft engulfed in a sleeve of pre-mastoid fascia forrnaesthetic nasal dorsal reconstruction.rnMethods: A retrospective review of 25 patients’ medical charts was performed from April 2014 to September 2015. All patientsrnhad undergone nasal dorsal reconstruction using a diced-cartilage graft for various aesthetic indications.rnResults: The reconstruction technique described herein resulted in good surgical outcomes in all patients. One case of infectionrnoccurred, but no patients developed resorption.rnConclusions: Use of diced cartilage with pre-mastoid fascia provides good clinical outcomes of dorsal nasal reconstruction,rnand avoids morbidity at other sites.

Abstract:
The ill-defined, droopy tip & high dorsum is one of the most frequent common nasal deformities among our patients which required a careful history and comprehensive nasal analysis to have successful intervention for correcting different degree of nasal ptosis. Considering the tripod theory principles & the assessment of both degree of tip rotation and projection were important in selecting the exact type of surgical techniques. In a retrospective study of 10-years droopy patients who underwent primary Rhinoplasty by one senior consultant (between 2005-2015), their pre & postoperative Photographs and operative records (when applicable) were reviewed to assess the degree of each droopy tip deformity & to evaluate the role of different selected techniques in corrected such deformity. The exact etiology & patient Specific nasal characteristics component found to be excellent gaudiness for selecting surgical techniques & modification to give predictable and reliable outcomes. The external Rhinoplasty approach was performed in all patients because the exposure permits alar cartilage modifications to be performed precisely under direct vision. Our goal in correcting the droopy nasal tip is to eliminate the forces that inferiorly displace the alar cartilages before adopting any alar cartilage modifying technique, and finally increase the tip support mechanisms. A multitude of surgical maneuvers are often necessary to address all the features of the droopy nose and to produce the desired aesthetic long term result. Strong nasal tip columellar strut is very important in all cases to increase the strength & stability of the alar cartilage complex, which essential to a have a good long term result & adjusting optimal nasal tip projection on the operating table.

Title: Facial vivifiction
Biography:
Jose L Covarrubias has completed his Medical Degree in University Autonoma of Guadalajara and residency in Plastic Surgery in Hospital Dalinde in Mexico City, Master’s in Aesthetic Surgery. He is Medical Director of Hospital Del Sol, Mexico.
Abstract:
This article describes a new technique for facial contouring and support system of the third midface, which uses an innovative technique. This procedure is a minimally invasive technique of facial rejuvenation that has been increasing in the last years. Aging of the face involves alterations in the appearance, the tone of the outer layers of the skin, ptosis of the malar and cheek pads, and the most important is the atrophy of the fat pads of the cheek this leads to the loss of contour in the malar area, nasolabial folds and the marionette lines, this also increase the lower cheeks. Repositioning of the tissue is the key to the rejuvenation. This procedure is ideal for Patients with heavy faces and early aging process, when there is a main issue like ptosis involves, a sub-periostal mid facelift doing it through an intraoral incision (CADWELL LOOK), it’s done, a suture is placed in the temporal area to lift the malar tissue, whit a innovative 18-cm long curved double-beveled needle (COVAS NEEDLE) bearing a tiny sliding carriage to which 2 /0 Non Absorbable suture may be anchored, this create suspension loops, that are anchored to the deep galea in the temporal region and this provide more tissue support, - fat grafts are used to increase volume, Vivification Peel, and Botulism Toxin is the Facial vivification procedure and can be combine with other modalities, like , TCA PEEL 30%, Blepharoplasty, Rhinoplasty, Liposuction of the double chin, Otoplasty, and much more procedures, this is to have a more natural look and the satisfaction of both the doctor and patient. In 6 years 575 patients, we only had 4 complications, 3 tenderness in the temporal area , and one infection of a suture because hair. This procedure can be done at any age.

Abstract:
Although chemical peels with various depths had been performed since long ago, it was in the last two decades that refinement of these peels was mandatory. Refinements were the result of our full knowledge of the skin types and the disease process, and it was essential to guard against side effects. Peels are now customized to suit skin type with the correction desired. Different peels will be discussed with emphasis to the darker skin types.

Title: The keystone flap – Practical design, use and diverse applications
Biography:
Colin P White has completed his Plastic Surgery Residency from McMaster University and completed separate fellowships in hand, microsurgery, crainofacial and breast reconstruction. He has published more than 25 papers in reputed journals and has been in independent practice for 2 years in British Columbia.
Abstract:
Introduction & Aims: We documented our clinical experience using the keystone flap for various different defects over the body. We review the advantages and disadvantages of the keystone flap as well as technical pearls with regards to raising the flap and some of its modifications. Methods: We show a case series of 16 patients all of whom have had skin cancer resections (sizes 2x2 cm to 6x6 cm, mean=3x3 cm). All of these patients are shown with surgical images to exemplify the diversity of the reconstructions. All of the flaps survived with the most common complication being minor crusting at the suture lines. Results: Based on our clinical experience, the keystone flap avoids tension on a closure. Donor skin graft sites are avoided, and thus there is no donor site care or pain. Keystone flaps avoid extremity splinting and they avoid the need for prolonged dressing care for partially healed wounds. There are better long term surgery site aesthetics compared to skin grafting. The drawbacks include the fact that a larger initial surgical area is needed and that the keystone flap requires more surgical time for suturing. Conclusion: The keystone flap is an excellent reconstruction for full thickness skin defects from skin cancer resection all over the body. We conclude that it can be used reliably on the lower extremity, trunk, hand, calf and scalp

Abstract:
The cosmetic and functional results of vaginoplasty by inversion of penile and scrotal skin in male-to-female transsexuals are, in general, satisfactory. One of the goals of sex reassignment surgery is to create tactile and erogenous sensitivity in the reconstructed genitals. The sexual arousal function of the neo-female genitalia depends mainly on the neo-clitoris, which has been considered state of the art for over forty years. This goal falls short due to the inner neo-vagina’s lack of erogenous sensitivity, having instead only tactile sensitivity of the skin and prostate. This shortcoming persists despite the refinements to the vaginoplasty throughout the years. Due to the lack of a sexual arousal organ within the neo-vagina, patients are denied sexual arousal during penetration of the neo-vagina. This necessitated improvement of sexual innervation within the neo-vagina. In order to improve the sexual functionality, I have innovated a technique that creates a sexual sensate neo-vagina pedicled-spot in the male-to-female transsexuals, which could be compared with the G-spot, in combination with the neo-clitoroplasty. Despite the controversially about existence of the G-Spot, this new technique create a sexual arousal organ in the anterior wall of the neo-vagina by creation of a sensate pedicled-spot, in combination with the neo-clitoroplasty. The conclusion is that a sensate pedicled-spot plasty has proven to be a safe innovative technique which leads to adequate sexual functionality in all patients.

Abstract:
Gynecomastia is the most common aesthetic surgery performed in males in India and worldwide. It can be formed by various methods. VASER is an ultrasonic liposuction technology where the fat selectively melts which leads to less blood loss, less pain, better skin tightening, and faster and smooth recovery. VASER assisted liposuction and piecemeal removal of gland is the method employed at our institute under local anesthesia. The gland component is broken down by VASER and then removed piecemeal by a 1 cm keyhole incision. The patient walks-in and walks-out of the hospital directly from the Operation Theater and joins works the same evening. I share our experience of 250 cases of Gynecomastia (including grade 3, without skin excision) by VASER.

Abstract:
In arm contouring brachioplasty is the known classical procedure, which is recently recommended only for patients with more skin laxity and less subcutaneous fat. The classic longitudinal visible scar is the most challenging cosmetic concern for surgeons and patients. Traditional liposuction would be indicated in less challenging cases with minimal skin laxity and fatter dystrophy. Nowadays Liposuction is one of the commonest cosmetic procedures. Always there is a limitation in skin retraction with SAL. However, the new evolutions in liposuction have more heat production, this extra heat can add to the benefit of the contouring. Here is a review of 33 patients’ arms with different grades of contour deformity. They were treated with Single laser wavelength ND/YG1444. The selection of patient and the proper indication of the laser assisted liposuction. The clinical detailed advantages and the disadvantages with possible complications and revisions were reviewed. The technical details of the procedure and the postoperative care were discussed as well. Laser enables the purpose skin shrinkage to be achieved and Step forward in body shaping.

Abstract:
The ideal alar rim is oval shaped with a smooth contour, framed by the superior nostril border above and the columellar roll below. It is important a smooth transition between the tip complex and the alar lobule, otherwise, an undesirable shadow that isolates the tip can occur which increases the visual prominence of the tip. Alar rim deformities are one of the most common problems encountered in primary and secondary rhinoplasty patients. Congenital malpositioned lateral crura or from overaggressive surgical manipulation of the lower lateral cartilages and alar rim deformities can have both functional and aesthetic consequences. According to the distance from the long axis of the nostril to either the columella or alar rim, the deformities may be: hanging columella, retracted ala, hanging ala, retracted columella or miscellany. More recently, the extended alar contour graft has been used to prevent notching of the anterior alar rim where the lateral crus begin to diverge from the alar rim as it courses to the piriform aperture. Multiple techniques of varied complexity have been described to treat and to avoid this common and challenging problem. The steps are: (1) Infracartilaginous incision in “ V” (2) Hemitransdomal cephalic suture (3) Minimal resection of lateral crura cephalic margins (4) Improving support of the lateral crura through the “turn in or turn over flap” (5) Horizontal rotation of the lateral crura (6) Different suture of the infracartilaginous incision (7) Rim graft. The objective of this presentation is showing and discussing these important steps to avoid this alar retraction and airway obstruction from collapse of the external nasal valve and preserve the natural contour of the alar rim, thereby improving alar symmetry.
