Grabb and Smith
The goal of eyebrow elevation deserves spe cial comment.
Ellenbogen (6) proposed five criteria for ideal eyebrow position and shape.
The brow begins medially at a vertical line drawn perpendicular through the alar base.
The brow terminates laterally at an oblique line drawn through the lateral canthus of the eye and the alar base.
The medial and lateral ends lie at approximately the same horizontal level.
The apex of the brow lies on the vertical line drawn directly through the lateralimbus of the eye.
The brow arches above the supraorbital rim in women and lies at approximately the level of the rim in men.
Although commendable, these criteria may not always be achievable in the clinical setting. For practical purposes, postoperative eyebrow position is almost always satisfactory as long as the lateral eyebrow segment is simply higher than the medial segment in the female patient and level with the medial segment in the male patient.

The key to understanding rhinoplasty is app reciating the complex nasal anatomy (Fig. 45-56) and the way in which altering this framework will impact the appearance of the nose. Evaluation of the rhinoplasty patient not only should include the aesthetic complaints, but also should consider the function of the nasal airways. Nasal airway obstruction can occur from
several structural problems. A deviated septum can severely impede airflow, as can problems with the internal nasal va lve. Obstruction at the internal nasal valve, which is the junction of the upper lateral cartilage and septum, can be identified by applying lateral traction on the cheek skin to open the valve and observing whether airflow improves (Cottle sign). Airway obstruction can be addressed surgically at the time of rhinoplasty. Aesthetic deformities of the dorsum of the nose are treated by a
combination of osteotomies, which serve to reposition the nasal bones, and rasping of the bone. Aesthetic deformities of the tip of the nose are treated by reducing the width of the lower la teral cartilages and/or sewing the cartilages together to reduce tip width. Small tips can be augmented with cartilage grafts harvested from septum or auricle (Fig. 45-57). Complications of rhinoplasty include induction of new nasal airway obstruction and a variety of aesthetic deformities.

SUCTION LIPECTOMY
Removal of adipose tissue through minimal incisions using a hollow suction cannula
Excess fat deposits No significant skin excess No muscle laxity
Liposuction involves the removal of adipose tissue through minimal incisions using a hollow suction cannula. Although the scarring is quite innocuous, a key principle of liposuction is that fat is being removed without skin tightening. Therefore, one relies on the patient's inherent skin elasticity to provide retraction over the treated adipose depot. Assessment of skin tone is a vital part of the patient evaluation. If there is skin laxity in the area to be treated, it may worsen after liposuction. Importantly, liposuction should be used as a tool for contouring prominent adipose depots and is not considered a weight loss treatment. The best candidates for liposuction are individuals who are close to their goal weight and have focal adipose deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise (Fig. 45-58). The suction cannula removes fat by a vulsing small parcels of adipose tissue into small holes at the cannula tip. With standard suction lipectomy, fat is removed only when the cannula is actively moved through the tissue planes. Minimal tissue effects are seen when the cannula is stationary. In general, larger-diameter cannulas remove adipose tissue at a faster ra te but carry a higher risk of causing contour irregularities such as grooving and uneven removal of fat. Newer liposuction technology uses an ultrasonic probe to emulsify the fat via cavitation before suction. Advocates of ultrasonic liposuction report that the technique provides a
more even and uniform removal of adipose tissue. Recognizing that no one technique is best for all p atients and all anatomic regions, many surgeons use ultrasonic energy selectively.

TUMESCENT TECHNIQUE
Lidocaine (0.05%) and epinephrine ( 1:1,000,000) Two advantages of wetting solution
o Anesthetic effect o Hemostatic effect
A major advance in the field of liposuction was the development of tumescent local anesthesia. This method involves the infiltration of very
dilute lidocaine and epinephrine (lidocaine 0.05% and epinephrine 1:1,000,000) in large volumes throughout the subcutaneous tissues. Tumescent volumes may range from one to three times the an ticipated aspirate volume. The dilute lidocaine provides sufficient anesthesia to allow the liposuction to be performed without additional agents, although many surgeons prefer to use sedation or even general anesthetic when large volumes of fat are to be removed. When general anesthesia is used, the lidocaine dose may be reduced or even eliminated. With tumescent anesthesia, the absorption of the dilute lidocaine from the subcutaneous tissue is very slow, with peak plasma concentrations occurring approximately 10 hours after the procedure.78 Therefore, the standard lidocaine dosing limit of 7 mg/kg may be sa fely exceeded. Current recommendations suggest a limit of 35 mg/kg of lidocaine with tumescent anesthesia.79 A very important component of the tumescent anesthetic solution is the dilute epinephrine, which limits blood loss during the procedure.
Safety issues are paramount for liposuction because of potential fluid
shifts postoperatively and hypothermia. If Š5000 mL of aspirate is to be
removed, the procedure should be performed in an accredited acute care hospital facility. After the procedure, vital signs and urinary output should be monitored overnight in an appropriate facility by qualified and competent staff who are familiar with perioperative care of the liposuction patient.

EXCISIONAL BODY CONTOURING
Significant skin laxity
A trade of excess skin for scar Bariatric surgery
When significant skin laxity is present, improvement in contour can be achieved only through skin excision. Therefore, all body-co ntouring
surgery represents a trade of excess skin for scar, and this must be emphasized during patient consultation. The patient willing to accept scars in exchange for improved contour is likely to be satisfied with the
procedures. With the increased number of bariatric surgery procedures over the past decade, body-contouring surgery has become very popular and is emerging as a new subspecialty of plastic surgery.
ABDOMINOPLASTY
Most common body-contouring procedure Redundant skin o Pregnancy o Weight loss o Aging o Surgery Muscle laxity W/ or w/o excess fat
Abdominoplasty/panniculectomy is the most common body-contouring procedure and can range from a limited-incision skin removal in the lower abdomen to a major skin excision with transposition of the umbilicus and placation of the rectus muscles to further enhance contour.80 Some patients may benefit from a concurrent vertical incision to remove skin in two vectors (Fig. 45-59). Possible complications include skin necrosis, persistent paresthesias of the abdominal wall, seroma, and wound separation. Necrosis of the umbilicus may complicate preservation of that structure if the stalk is excessively long or an umbilical hernia is repaired. Adding a vertical resection increases the incidence of skin necrosis,
especially at the confluence of scars in the lower abdomen.

Nipple ptosis is graded by the nipple position relative to the inframammary
fold (IMF). Grade 1 ptosis describes a nipple ≤1 cm below the IMF.
GRADE II PTOSIS
Grade 2 ptosis describes a nipple 1 to 3 cm below the IMF.
GRADE III PTOSIS
Grade 3 ptosis describes a nipple position >3 cm below the IMF.
PSEUDOPTOSIS
Pseudoptosis or bottoming out is a term used to describe the descent of the breast tissue below the nipple and is a potential long-term
complication of breast reduction.

Mastopexy
In contradistinction to breast reduction, in which patients are treated for symptoms related to heavy breasts, mastopexy is a three-dimensional reshaping of the breast performed with no or minimal volume removal. The principles are the same, however: The skin envelope is contoured and the nipple location optimized. Because the degree of ptosis may be less severe than in b reast reduction cases, the patterns of skin resection can vary widely. Minimal patterns may involve excision of just a crescent of skin from above the areola o r a periareolar ("donut") resection. The Wise keyhole pattern can be used for larger skin excisions.

BREAST AUGMENTATION
Augmentation Mammaplasty
Although the use of prosthetic implants can successfully increase breast size, the surgeon must fully understand both the risks o f the biomaterials and the way in which a specific implant of given shape and size can be surgically integrated into the existing breast mound to achieve the desired result.84 To address the latter point, the surgeon must first consider the possible surgical approaches for implant placement. The three commonly used incisions for placement of cosmetic breast implants are
inframammary, periareolar, and axillary (Fig. 45-63).85 A transumbilical breast augmentation technique has been advocated by some surgeons more recently, but critics of this approach point out that there is poor control over the dissection of the implant pocket and that direct access to the tissues of the breast is inadequate to con trol bleeding vessels. In addition, only saline implants can be used with transumbilical breast augmentation because the prefilled silicone implants are too large to pass through the incision and narrow tunnel. The implants may be placed in a subglandular or subpectoral position (Fig. 45-64). Many surgeons p refer the subpectoral placement because it provides greater soft tissue coverage in the upper pole of the breast and can hide contour
irregularities related to the implant. This soft tissue coverage is especially important with saline implants, because visible rippling can occur. The next issue to consider is e xisting nipple position. If a patient has mild ptosis, the sheer volume of the implant may raise the nipple to an acceptable level. For more severe ptosis, a con current mastopexy is necessary. Some surgeons advocate performing the mastopexy as a second stage after the implant has settled into position.

COMPLICATIONS
Systemic connective tissue disorders
o Not proven by large epidemiologic studies
Rupture
o Saline implants rapid deflation o Silicone gel implants confirmed by MRI
Potential complications related to the implant itself are numerous, and the patient must be fully informed of these possibilities before undergoing surgery. One important point is that there is a h igh likelihood that the patient will require a second operation to address an implant problem. The implant complications are essentially all local. Although there was concern in the past that implants might be associated with systemic connective tissue disorders, large epidemiologic studies have not supported such a link. The fears over implant safety were so strong that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) declared a moratorium on the use of silicone gel
implants in 1992. At that time, saline-filled implants were still allowed for general cosmetic use. Data were compiled on silicone gel implants, and these devices were approved by the FDA for general use in 2006.86 Potential implant complications include rupture of the device. For saline implants, this results in rapid deflation. For silicone gel implants, the rupture may be not be obvious a nd can be confirmed by MRI. Another complication is capsular contracture, which results in a tight envelope of scar that can distort the shape of the implant and cause pain in severe cases. A complication more common to saline devices is the appearance of rippling in the upper pole of the device. Implant malposition can also distort the breast shape and require reoperation. Safety data printed on the official FDA-approved package insert from one of the device manufacturers show the incidence of reoperation to be 29.9% over 7 years in a study of 901 women undergoing primary breast augmentation with saline-filled implants (postapproval study). The rate of severe capsular contracture (grade 3 or 4 on a 4-point scale) was 15.7%, and the rate of implant rupture was 9.8%.87 For silicone gel
–
filled implants, the reoperation rate was observed to be 23.5% over 4 years in a study of 455 women undergoing primary breast augmentation. The rate of severe capsular contracture (grade 3 or 4 on a 4-point scale) was 13.2%, and the rate of implant rupture (evaluated by MRI) was 2.7%. The three most common reasons for operation, in order, were capsular contracture (28.9%), implant malposition (15.6%), and ptosis (14.1%). For secondary augmentation, complication rates were much higher, with the reoperation rate over 4 years rising to 35.2%. The rate of capsular contracture was 17.0%, and the rate of implant rupture was 4.0%.88 Another concern regarding breast implants is the issue of whether adequate mammography can be performed after augmentation. Displacement techniques can be used by the mammographer to view the breast tissue. Although patients are advised that implants may affect mammography, a study surveying women who did and did not undergo breast augmentation found no statistical difference in survival or detection of carcinoma between the two cohorts.89
