Tactical modifications in the Skoog reduction mammoplasty.

Some modifications of the Skoog reduction mammoplasty are presented, with the aims of greater safety, longer lasting results, and a better shape of the breast. These modifications are lengthening and thickening of the flap that carries the nipple-areolar complex and a dermal flap in the lower part of the breast, to prevent the sliding of the gland in a late follow-up.

Is there any real advantage in the double-lumen cannula?

The author demonstrates one of liposuction's great problems, what he calls the "contra-vacuum," which forms inside the cannula while it is inserted under the skin. To keep liposuction effective, an ascending pressure is needed while the holes of the cannula are deep inside the tissues. The results are higher pressure, more tissue trauma, less effectiveness. To prevent these problems, the author developed a double-lumen cannula in 1983; because of a secondary tube outside it, there is no contra-vacuum formation. He presents here his experience in large liposuctions with a new cannula model, thinner than the first one, but also very effective.

Blepharoplasty: a personal tactical approach.

The author presents his tactical approach and personal instruments for blepharoplasties. To remove the skin excess in the upper eyelid, a special half-moon forceps grasps the excess of skin, and with a very sharp scissors, it is removed in just one cut. Treatment of fat pads uses a special hemostatic forceps, unlike the conventional one that has transverse grooves, with longitudinal grooves to prevent fat sliding after the fat pads are cut, thereby preventing problems with hemostasis. In the lower eyelid, wide undermining and excision of a significant strip of skin and muscle allow an adequate correction. Ectropion is prevented, and the correction done is stabilized with orbicular muscle and skin flap anchorage on the lateral canthal tendon. Fifteen years of experience with this technique has provided excellent results.
