Introduction: Multiple approaches and the use of different surgical strategies seem to contribute to the goal of obtaining more satisfactory outcomes in rhytidoplasty. In light of this, liposculpture has been progressively becoming more relevant as an alternative to improve those outcomes, adding greater final aesthetic value to the procedure. Objectives: To evaluate outcomes obtained in patients who underwent the association of rhytidoplasty and facial liposculpture. Methods: Fourteen patients underwent classical Pitanguy rhytidectomy associated with liposuction in specific areas of the face, having been subsequently followed up for 12 months. Seventeen volunteers used the Antell & Orseck method to evaluate the postoperative outcomes. Results: Of the 14 patients evaluated, 9 (64.2%) were classified as having experienced excellent outcomes, while 3 (21.4%) had moderate outcomes, and 2 (14.2%) had poor outcomes. None of the patients experienced outcomes rated as perfect or undesirable. Conclusions: Rhytidoplasty associated with facial liposculpture is an important alternative for the treatment of facial aging, leading to satisfactory, safe and long lasting results.
RESUMEN
Purpose: To compare the use of a new cyanoacrylate-based surgical glue and suture with sepa-rate points in skin wounds closure. Methods: Thirty-six rats were subjected to a 4cm dorsal longitudinal incision. Twelve were sub-jected to simple suture with polyamide 6-0, 12 rats underwent wall synthesis using Dermabond(r) and 12 was performed cutaneous synthesis with N-2-Butyl-Cyanoacrylate. Twelve of each group was euthanized on the seventh postoperative day, their blood was taken to biochemical tests and a layer of skin and subcutaneous tissue surrounding the surgical scar was randomly divided in two segments, to the submission of tension tests and to histological study. Results: There were no significant difference between groups (p>0.05). In the soft dermis there was more type I collagen production in group I (p 0.05), group II and III was similar re-sults (p>0.05). In the compact dermis, all 3 groups showed similar results (p>0.05). The biomechanical study was similarity between the glue groups (p>0.05) but the group III proved to be different from the others having a higher resistance (p>0.05) . Conclusion: This glue does not cause any inflammation or kidney and hepatic toxicity. Polyamide sutures are more resistant and the glue should be used alone only in less tension are-as.(AU)

Introduction: An approach based on multiple anatomical structures and the use of different surgical strategies seems to achieve more lasting results in cervical rejuvenation surgery. Thus, extended cervicoplasty is an option with favorable results and low complication rates. However, little has been published regarding the durability of the results. This study aimed to objectively evaluate the long-term results obtained with extended cervicoplasty in difficult cases. Methods: Twenty patients, classified as having a "difficult neck," underwent extended cervicoplasty and were followed for 5 years. The results at 1- and 5-year post-operative follow-up were evaluated by eight plastic surgeons, using six objective criteria based on a theoretically ideal neck. The comparison of the results obtained at these time points was performed using a paired Student's t-test, with a level of significance of 5%. Results: There was no significant difference in five of the six items evaluated (p-value ranging from 0.137 to 1.000), in the comparison between the first and fifth postoperative years. Subhyoid depression displayed a significantly better mean score in the fifth evaluation year than that observed in the first year after surgery (p = 0.039): from 5.80 ± 0.25 points (mean ± standard error of the mean) in the first year, to 6.45 ± 0.30 points in the fifth postoperative year. Conclusion: Extended cervicoplasty is an important alternative in the treatment of the neck region, and even provides lasting results in difficult cases.
Introdução: A abordagem de múltiplas estruturas anatômicas e a utilização de diferentes estratégias cirúrgicas parece contribuir para a obtenção de resultados mais duradouros na cirurgia do rejuvenescimento cervical. Para isso, a cervicoplastia ampliada é uma opção com resultados agradáveis e baixos índices de complicações. A durabilidade dos resultados obtidos é, no entanto, pouco discutida na literatura. O objetivo desse estudo é avaliar objetivamente a manutenção dos resultados a longo prazo obtidos com a cervicoplastia ampliada aplicada em casos difíceis. Métodos: Vinte pacientes, classificadas como "pescoço difícil", foram submetidas à cervicoplastia ampliada e acompanhadas por 5 anos. Os resultados do pós-operatório de 1 e de 5 anos foram avaliados por oito cirurgiões plásticos, por meio de seis critérios objetivos vinculados a um teórico pescoço ideal. A comparação entre os resultados obtidos nestes momentos foi realizada por meio do teste t-student pareado, considerando um nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: Não houve diferença significativa em cinco dos seis itens avaliados (valor de p variando entre 0,137 a 1,000), na comparação entre o primeiro e o quinto ano de pós-operatório. A depressão subhioideia apresentou pontuação média na avaliação do quinto ano significativamente melhor do que aquela observada no primeiro ano após a cirurgia (p = 0,039), passando de 5,80 ± 0,25 pontos (média ± erro padrão da média) no primeiro ano, para 6,45 ± 0,30 pontos no quinto ano de pós-operatório. Conclusão: A cervicoplastia ampliada se valida como alternativa importante no tratamento da região cervical mesmo em casos difíceis, proporcionando a obtenção de resultados duradouros.

INTRODUÇÃO: A cervicoplastia é considerada parte importante na cirurgia do rejuvenescimento facial. Apesar das diversas técnicas já descritas, a busca pelo tratamento ideal ainda persiste. As dificuldades aumentam nos casos considerados complexos, em que a flacidez excessiva de pele e a ptose muscular pronunciada prejudicam a manutenção dos resultados a longo prazo. OBJETIVOS: No intuito de discutir as opções técnicas disponíveis para a cervicoplastia e apresentar a rotina cirúrgica utilizada pelo autor - com ênfase no tratamento ampliado sobre o músculo platisma - é que este estudo foi delineado. MÉTODO: Dezoito pacientes foram submetidos ao round lifting associado à confecção de retalhos musculares de platisma, na linha médio-cervical, e à retirada parcial da gordura subplatismal. Os pacientes foram acompanhados por 12 meses e o resultado pós-operatório tardio foi avaliado por cinco cirurgiões plásticos da SBCP. RESULTADOS: Quatro pacientes foram excluídos do estudo por não retornarem para o acompanhamento pós-operatório tardio. Dos 14 pacientes avaliados, 7 (50 por cento) tiveram o resultado classificado como excelente, 5 (35,7 por cento) como moderado e 2 (14,3 por cento) como fraco. Nenhum paciente teve o resultado classificado como perfeito ou ruim. CONCLUSÃO: A cervicoplastia ampliada proporcionou a obtenção de resultados satisfatórios, mesmo em casos difíceis. Acreditamos que a técnica é uma alternativa válida para o cirurgião plástico, podendo contribuir para que obtenhamos um resultado pós-operatório agradável, natural e mantido com o tempo.
INTRODUCTION: Cervicoplasty is considered an important part of facial surgery. Despite the various techniques already described, the search for optimal treatment still persists, especially in complex or difficult cases, where the skin excess and the muscular ptosis affect the maintenance of long-term results. OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to discuss the technical options available to cervicoplasty and present the routine used by the author - with emphasis on platisma muscle extended treatment. METHOD: Eighteen patients were submitted to "Round Lifting" associated with a platisma muscle flap in cervical mid-line and partial removal of subplatismal fat. The patients were followed for 12 months and late postoperative outcome was evaluated by five of SBCP plastic surgeons. RESULTS: Four patients were excluded for not returning for follow-up. Of the 14 patients evaluated, 7 (50 percent) patients had an excellent result, 5 (35.7 percent) patients moderate and 2 (14.3 percent) weak. No patient had the result classified as perfect or poor. CONCLUSION: The expanded cervicoplasty described here provided great results, even in difficult cases. We believe that the technique is a valid alternative to the plastic surgeon, which can help you obtain a pleasing postoperative result, natural and maintained over time.
