ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the methods and effects of nasolabial flaps for repair of defects after skin tumor removal on midface.Methods From Augest 2012 to March 2015,the different flaps from nasolabial fold were utilized to repair 22 skin defects due to surgical removal of skin tumors on midface.There were 12 flaps with subcutaneous pedicle and 10 flaps with skin pedicle in the group.The size of the defects ranged from0.5cm × 1.0cmto4.0cm × 5.0cm.Results After operation,all flaps survived with primary healing,cosmetic results were satisfactory with conceal scar and no facial organs distortion after 1 month to 2 years following-up.No tumor recurrence occurred.Conclusions Thenasolabial flaps with appropriate pedicles could obtain the satisfactory results for the reconstruction of medium-sized skin defects on midface,especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effective methods of increasing the symmetry of blepharoplas-ty. Methods The two eyelids were synchronously incised, and equal amount of musculi dormitator and fat tissues removed. Firstly, suture at the golden point of intersection for one eyelid, then suture the same point on the other one, and carefully compare the symmetry of both eyelids. Results All the 31 patients, except 1, were satisfied with the results of the symmetry with same height and length. Conclusion Syn-chronously incising the two eyelids and suturing at the symmetrical points by comparison can evidently in-crease the symmetry of blepharoplasty.
