Abstract

The authors demonstrate by anatomical dissection that inaccuracies made by classical anatomists have worried plastic surgeons for many years. They demonstrate that continuity between the parotid fascia and the fibrous platysma has not been recognized. In addition, anatomists in the past have not been aware that the platysma is a unique type of fasciomuscular layer because in contrast to conventional anatomical opinions, the platysma has no bony attachment to the mandible.

Hemifacial spasm and other craniofacial movement disorders.

Craniofacial dyskinesias encompass a variety of abnormal spontaneous craniofacial movements that often appear similar in morphology but are, in fact, of varied cause and nature. Although hemifacial spasm and blepharospasm are the two most common abnormal craniofacial movements, the clinician should be cognizant of other dyskinesias, particularly craniofacial dystonias, tremor, tic, chorea, and stereotypies. Most craniofacial dyskinesias respond favorably to injections of botulinum toxin type A or oral medications. Surgical treatment may be beneficial for refractory cases.

Long pulse 532-nm laser treatment of facial telangiectasia.

BACKGROUND: Facial telangiectasias are a frequently observed cosmetic concern: Current therapeutic modalities have certain side effects and limitations. We treated a group of patients with facial telangiectasias with a new variable pulse width frequency-doubled neodymium: YAG laser at 532 nm. OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated the clinical response and side effects during the treatment of facial telangiectasias in 40 patients. METHODS: Forty patients with facial telangiectasias were treated with the VersaPulse laser. Fluences of between 9.5 and 12.0 J/cm2 at 3 or 4-mm spot size were used. A sapphire water-cooled chill tip was used to cool the cutaneous surface during treatment. RESULTS: Ninety percent of patients experienced between 75% and 100% clearance of their facial telangiectasias after single treatment. No significant side effects or complications were noted. CONCLUSION: The VersaPulse variable pulse width neodymium: YAG laser appears to be an effective treatment modality for facial telangiectasia.
