Treatment of acne scars with liquid silicone injections: 30-year perspective.

BACKGROUND: This article addresses the use of liquid injectable silicone as both an immediate and long-lasting treatment for broad-based, depressed acne scars. The only filler substance that maintains precision and permanence in improving and/or correcting these types of acne scar defects is medical-grade liquid silicone. OBJECTIVE: We describe five patients with a history of acne scarring who showed improvements from injections of liquid silicone at the initial treatment session and lasting over a 10-, 15-, and 30-year follow-up period. METHODS: Monthly liquid silicone injections using a technique known as the microdroplet, multiple-injection approach. RESULTS: This article documents the safety, effectiveness, and precision of silicone in addition to highlighting the fact that its permanence is what distinguishes it from other filler materials. CONCLUSION: As a precise and permanent filling substance used for soft tissue augmentation, liquid injectable silicone can improve and/or eliminate depressed, broad-based acne scars through a technique known as the microdroplet, multiple-injection

Dermatitis-like squamous cell carcinoma.

A 78-year-old man with a 2-year history of a large dermatitis-like plaque of his thigh is described. It had a raised elevated border, resembling persistent fungal dermatitis (tinea corporis). However, it proved to be a squamous cell carcinoma, prompting this description and a reminder that skin cancer may mimic dermatitis.

Adjustment of subtle postoperative nasal defects: managing the "near-miss" rhinoplasty.

Rhinoplasty entails several steps that affect the appearance and function of the nose in an interrelated way. Occasionally, an excellent result can be marred by a minor imperfection and lead to dissatisfaction of both patient and surgeon. For significant pathology, revision rhinoplasty can be performed safely if the architecture and physiology of the nose are respected. To correct the "near-miss" result, minor corrections can successfully restore the aesthetic result. This can require a different frame of reference and approach and can often be thought of in terms of soft tissue correction. Subcutaneous fibrosis, skin depressions, asymmetries, and deficits can be corrected with minor procedures and techniques not routinely associated with rhinoplasty. We detail several methods that can be used to restore simply and effectively an otherwise excellent rhinoplasty result.
