[Laser surgery in esthetic surgery. Review].

Since the introduction of laser therapy was developed continuously. New indications are possible in the aesthetic surgery. The laser is used for the treatment of naevi, hemangiomas, wide port-wine-stains, teleangiectasias, tattoos, epilations and skin resurfacing. To fulfill the expectations of the patients and the remands of a plastic aesthetic surgeon it is important to find the correct indication and choose the right laser. Vascular and pigmental disorders can be successfully treated with the flash lamp pumped pulsed dye laser. Laser containing different wave lengths are available. For the treatment of the aged skin the Ultrapuls-CO2-Laser offers advantages in comparison with the Erbium-YAG-Laser. However these lasers can not replace a facelift or blepharoplasty.

Thymectomy in myasthenia gravis via video-assisted infra-mammary cosmetic incision.

We describe the technique, the benefits and the drawbacks of an original video-assisted thymectomy (VAT), performed through an inframammary cosmetic incision and median sternotomy in myasthenia gravis (MG) patients. This procedure is clinically valuable and cosmetically satisfactory so as to be very well accepted by patients, especially by young women. We report a review of 71 MG patients treated between 1993 and 1997. A clinical remission was obtained in 48 (80%) out of 60 patients who had been followed for at least 12 months from surgery. Fifty-three of these patients (93%) judged their cosmetic results to be excellent or good.
