Abscess formation and local necrosis after treatment with Zyderm or Zyplast collagen implant.

The incidence, clinical presentation, pathophysiology, and possible treatment of two rare but clinically meaningful complications of tissue augmentation with Zyderm and Zyplast Collagen Implant are described. Abscesses as a manifestation of hypersensitivity to bovine collagen occur rarely (4 in 10,000 cases) and may persist for days to weeks. Periods of remission and exacerbation may occur from 1 month to more than 24 months. Localized tissue necrosis also occurs rarely (9 in 10,000 cases) after implantation and is probably the result of local vascular interruption and not hypersensitivity. The incidence varies greatly between the anatomic sites of implantation; more than half the reported cases involve the glabella. Evidence strongly suggests that the increased vulnerability of the glabellar region is due to its unique vascular distribution.

Electrosurgical treatment of rhinophyma.

Thirteen patients with moderate to severe rhinophyma were treated with electrosurgery. All patients achieved cosmetic improvement with minimal postoperative complications. Six of 13 patients noted an improvement in nasal breathing after treatment. Patients with a predominantly lobular rhinophyma achieved the best overall results whereas younger patients with generalized nasal hypertrophy were at the highest risk for scarring. This low-cost treatment was associated with few complications and gave excellent cosmetic results. A new clinical classification of rhinophyma has been developed on the basis of the patients in this series.

Current trends in the practice of dermatologic surgery.

In a 1984 survey, 2750 members of the American Academy of Dermatology were asked which dermatologic surgery procedures they performed and which procedures they expected to be performing in 5 years. A similar survey was completed by the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery in 1988. In this article, the results of the 1988 survey are presented and compared to that of 1984.
