Le volume lift, ou lift liquide du visage s’effectue avec l »injection de plusieurs seringues d’acide hyaluronique aux endroits stratégiques du visage.  Les études permettent de constater un rajeunissement de 6 à 9 ans après seulement 2 à 4 semaines.  On note également une durabilité supérieure de la correction lorsque des volumes important sont utilisés.

Abstract

BACKGROUND The objective of aesthetic treatments is to create a more youthful appearance. Most injectable fillers are indicated for the reduction of nasolabial folds, but the current aesthetic movement is toward volume replacement in multiple areas, known as global fillers or liquid face-lift. OBJECTIVES To quantify the degree of perceived age reduction from multisyringe hyaluronic acid treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten women were treated with 6 to 8 mL of hyaluronic acid. Exclusion criteria were no laser for 6 months and no hyaluronic acid fillers for 6 months or semipermanent fillers for 1 year. High-resolution photographs were taken in identical lighting and position before and 2 and 4 weeks after treatment. Three blinded dermatologists rated patients’ ages before and after from photographs. RESULTS The dermatologists reported an average of 6.1 to 7.3 years of reduction in apparent age at 2 and 4 weeks, respectively. The patients perceived a decrease in apparent age of 7.8 and 9 years. CONCLUSION Multisyringe injection of hyaluronic acid filler into the aging face results in a reduction of apparent age from 6.1 to 9 years after 2 to 4 weeks. Full-face correction with hyaluronic acid is an important procedure in the armamentarium of anti-aging techniques. Statistical analysis support and the syringes of Restylane and Perlane were provided by Medicis. Drs. Taub, Gold, and Jacob are consultants to Medicis. Drs.

Résumé

Le traitement des varices des membres inférieurs a été profondément modifié par l’apparition de la sclérothérapie écho-guidée à la mousse. Cette technique allie les avantages de l’écho-Doppler pulsé couleur et l’efficacité de la mousse sclérosante : – évaluation ultrasonore préalable nécessaire au diagnostic précis de la maladie, – guidage des ponctions et des injections, – vérification du remplissage des segments cibles, – contrôle des résultats thérapeutiques, -recherche et surveillance des effets secondaires éventuels, -régularité et homogénéité de l’attaque de la paroi veineuse sur de longs segments veineux, -réduction des quantités de sclérosant, – obtention d’un veino-spasme, – efficacité immédiate avec bonne tenue au moins à moyen terme. Efficace et sûre lorsqu’elle est pratiquée par des médecins compétents et entraînés, la méthode permet la prise en charge simple, peu vulnérante et économique de la maladie veineuse chronique superficielle dont on sait qu’il s’agit d’une affection très fréquente, invalidante et coûteuse pour la société. Les résultats très satisfaisants observés à moyen terme nous laissent à penser que la technique va s’imposer largement et perdurer. La stratégie thérapeutique des varices s’en trouve fortement modifiée pour le plus grand bien des patients.

Abstract
Background and Objective
Due to the significant risk profile associated with traditional ablative resurfacing, a safer and less invasive treatment approach known as fractional deep dermal ablation (FDDATM) was recently developed. We report the results of the first clinical investigation of this modality for treatment of photodamaged skin.
 
Twenty-four subjects received treatments on the inner forearm with a prototype fractional CO2 laser device (Reliant Technologies Inc., Mountain View, CA) at settings of 5-40 mJ/MTZ and 400 MTZ/cm2. Clinical and histological effects were assessed by study investigators 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months following treatment. Thirty subjects were then enrolled in a multi-center study for treatment of photodamage using the same device. Subjects received 1-2 treatments on the face and neck, with energies ranging from 10 to 40 mJ/MTZ and densities ranging from 400 to 1,200 MTZ/cm2. Study investigators assessed severity of post-treatment responses during follow-up visits 48 hours, 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months following treatment. Using a standard quartile improvement scale (0-4), subjects and investigators assessed improvement in rhytides, pigmentation, texture, laxity and overall appearance 1 and 3 months post-treatment.
Results
Clinical and histologic results demonstrated that fractional delivery of a 10,600 nm CO2 laser source offers an improved safety profile with respect to traditional ablative resurfacing, while still effectively resurfacing epidermal and dermal tissue. Forearm and facial treatments were well-tolerated with no serious adverse events observed. Eighty-three percent of subjects exhibited moderate or better overall improvement (50-100%), according to study investigator quartile scoring.
Conclusions
FDDATM treatment is a safe and promising new approach for resurfacing of epidermal and deep dermal tissue targets.

May/June 2009: Dr. McCafferty’s Research Published in Aesthetic Surgery Journal
Background

Plastic surgeons and manufacturers of breast implants have been examining the complication and reoperation rates of primary breast augmentations for more than 18 years. The seemingly high rates reported by the manufacturers to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) were the impetus for this multicenter study.

 Objective

This paper reports on data pooled from three plastic surgery practices that were geographically distributed across the United States and examines the reoperation rate, time to reoperation, the reason for reoperation, and specific complications in 177 consecutive primary breast augmentation patients. These data are statistically compared to the manufacturers’ 2005 and 2008 FDA data. In addition, the significance of selected variables from our data are examined as predictors for reoperation.

 Methods

Data were retrospectively collected from 177 consecutive primary breast augmentations performed between 2001 and 2004 from three surgical practices. Direct physician-to-patient follow-up periods ranged from 12 to 58 months, with 100% of patients having at least one year of follow-up. Each practice extracted chart data on variables and complications, including reoperations. These data were independently collated and sent to an independent biostatistician for analysis.

 Results

Our three year Kaplan–Meier (KM) reoperation rate (8%) and capsular contracture rate (2%) were both lower than the manufacturers’ KM 3-year rates for reoperation (13%-21%) and capsular contracture (8.2%-9%). Logistic regression identified only simultaneous mastopexy and preexisting ptosis as predictors of reoperation.

Thrombophlebitis of the thoracoepigastric system of veins is a benign disease and, despite its localized involvement and presentation, the condition is known as Mondor disease (MD). A transverse incision made on the thoracoabdominal wall divides the axially arranged superficial veins at a right angle and the presence of unidirectional valves prevents retrograde blood flow, leading to stasis and thrombus formation. The incidence of MD in oncologic breast cases and aesthetic mammaplasties is reported to be 0.95% and 1.07%, respectively. Siliconeadenitis of axillary nodes, on the other hand, is uncommon and has only been reported occasionally. Extensive MD of the left axilla and inner arm is presented following excision of axillary nodes secondary to siliconeadenitis after cohesive gel silicone breast implant rupture.

According to the author, autologous fat transplantation is an ideal technique to correct facial atrophy, providing a stable and potentially long lasting alternative to « off the shelf » fillers. Structural augmentation with fat involves multilayer blunt fat infiltration designed around concepts of volume expansion and resultant tissue shifting. The author has found that retention varies in different parts of the face and fat seems to « take » best in areas in which fat atrophy is the problem, such as in the cheek, periorbital area, and mandible. When fat is being used to replace bony remodeling or mucosal atrophy (both occur in the perioral area), retention can be unpredictable.
