Micrografts and minigrafts: a new approach for baldness surgery.

The main problem in conventional operations for baldness has certainly been the resultant scar. The scar stigmatizes the patient's forehead and frequently gives an unaesthetic and unnatural appearance. Any observer would say the patient is wearing a "hairpiece" or some other artificial element. To minimize this problem, we introduced and improved a new procedure for the treatment of pattern baldness by using microsurgical hair grafts taken from the occipital region. These are inserted, one by one, into the bald area through a small microsurgical knife and with the help of a jeweler's forceps. This technique is based on works of Marrit and Nordström, who made use of these micrografts for the first time to hide the anterior line of the forehead after surgery.

Complications with homologous fat grafts in breast augmentation surgery.

The most common complications in breast augmentation surgery with homologous fat grafts obtained from fresh cadavers are presented, showing subsequent surgical procedures to reconstruct the breasts of such patients through use of silicone prostheses and muscle flaps from the latissimus dorsi.

Autologous blood transfusion for combined plastic surgeries.

Autologous blood transfusion is indicated and helpful for any patient who is entering surgery in whom the surgeon anticipates a large blood loss because of the multiple or combined plastic operations being planned for one surgical sitting. The advantages of autologous over homologous transfusions include avoidance of incompatibility reactions, better volume expansion, and no risk of acquiring diseases.

Baldness surgery--reduction versus flap.

Often when confronted with extensive bald areas on the superior and frontal regions of the scalp, we need to elevate very large and long temporo-parieto-occipital flaps (TPO). Even when generous undermining is undertaken to close the donor site, we frequently finish with hypertrophic scars and absence of hair follicules. In order to prevent this complication we have previously reduced the bald area by resecting hairless portions and covering, posterior in one single stage, the anterior area with a small flap.
