Abstract:

Introduction: In the 21st century, to be attractive nude parts like the face and what can appear through destroyed jeans are not enough anymore. Not nude butts covered by fashion jeans or pants are also a posterior visit card to get attention. Until these years, anti-aging focused only on volume augmentation using fat grafting, fillers, prosthesis or endoprosthesis as suspensions sutures or threads. With these techniques called improperly endopeel for special reasons, butts can be reshaped in ½ hour a butt as a tailor, keeping same mass and volume of the muscles, in a 3D dimension by -Chemical myoplasty or reshaping and tightening the gluteal muscles. -Chemical myopexy by lifting the banana fold and the gluteal muscle. -By projecting the desired chosen projections point instead of volume augmentation. -By chemical myotension giving back the tension of gluteal muscles lost during the last years. Material & Methods: We do use a patented chemical mixture containing an oily carbolic acid with pKa=6.6 different from phenol (pKa 9.9–orbitals sp2-sp3 overlapping…). The techniques are so called Endopeel. Experimentation studies have been made during 16 years on rats and humans and we never got any necrosis, infections or chronic complications. We use special patterns according to the ethnicity, the sex, the sports activity, the fashion and desires of patients. Muscles are considered as visco-elastic elastomers and can be reshaped by units with 1 vector and 2 anisotropic tensors. 3 parameters have to be chosen as the projection point, the distance between the inferior point of the pre-sacral triangle and the infra-gluteal diamond losange as the banana fold lifting line regarding the sex and/or ethnicity. Injections are all subcutaneous. Patients are females, males, old and young, sporty or not sporty, post lipoplasty patients, cellulitis and metro-sexuals (highest rate). In case of gluteal atrophy of muscles or paralysis, the technique can be applied with satisfactory results. Results: Immediate results can be seen and average duration is 6-7 months. Maintenance each 2-3 months with low quantity are the best to keep the butts in shape as, Endopeel, is a progressive lifting too. Goals are to get a tightening, lifting and projecting effect of the gluteal mass. Results are adapted to gender, fashion, ethnicity as the 5 types of clinical gluteus. Side effects: They are transitory as edema, ecchymosis. No paralysis, no infection, no necrosis and no reported lawsuit since 16 years for physicians using this method with original product. Conclusion: Fashion 3D butts taylor shaped with projection instead of volume augmentation can be done in 15 minutes with immediate results for metrosexuals, sporty patients and others with a 6 months duration effect bestens kept by maintenance. This method is purely medical without social eviction, painless, scarless and patients can go back to their normal activity 1 hour after the procedure.

Abstract:

RADIESSE is calcium based non hyaluronic acid filler hydroxyapatite. It has a growing importance in the rejuvenation of the whole face. Radiesse can be used for the treatments of wrinkles, similar to other fillers, but Radiesse has a better material for the correction of volume deficiencies and of contour losses of the face. Proper applied Radiesse works lifting by filling, a Radiesse "Facelift" can be especially suggested by a ptotic face with not too much skin excess. Radiesse is produced by the German Company "Merz Aesthetics", which is renowned among the “top three” producers of aesthetic medical materials. The magic of Radiesse liquid lift is that the patient’s has a lifting effect without surgery within minutes and a social ability is usually prompt after the procedure. Qualified specialists need only two invisible punctures on the face to perform the bloodless and almost painless special needle lifting according to Radiesse augmentation. The term liquid lift arises by the special dilution of the injected crystals of calcium hydroxy-apatite, which is completely inert and reabsorbed being substituted by collagen fibers, these create a tridimensional collagen structure which stretches and supports the face, when placed in proper vectors. The procedure is shown in the workshops. Simultaneous applying of superficial, epi-SMAS and deep layer infiltrations promote the three dimensional symmetry of a Radiesse lift and rejuvenation.

Abstract:

Otoplasty is a surgical procedure for correcting the deformities and defects of the ear consequent to congenital conditions. Ear surgery creates a natural shape, while bringing balance and proportion to the ears and face. Correction of even minor deformities can have profound benefits to appearance and self-esteem. The main indication for Rebelo’s technique are prominent ears, protruding ears occurring on one or both sides in varying degrees, adult dissatisfaction with previous ear surgery. These appear prominent when the man or the woman is viewed from either the front or the back perspective. Age is not important to decide to do the surgery, but is better earlier ages after 5 years old. The surgery is performed upon a patient under local anesthesia with sedation as an outpatient. The operating time varies between 30 to 60 minutes. The surgeon places a needle with ink through the skin, to model the cartilage and to emplace the retention sutures (Nylon 4/0) that will affix the antihelix and conchal bowl areas. An incision is made behind the ear and becomes inconspicuous and hopefully almost invisible. Blunt undermining is performed to expose the cartilage. A small incision, behind this cartilage, is made as approach to the anterior cartilage in order to make condroplasty with a specific rasp. Before making the final shape of the ear, washing the entire ear, inside and outside with a cold saline solution. Then 3 sutures are placed with Nylon 4/0, permanent suture non-absorbable, through the pre marked points with the needle with ink, giving the shape and the model we found good. Skin closure with Vicryl Rapid 5/0 continuous suture. No dress is made. Antibiotic per os during one week. The patient wears a loose head-band (tennis style) one week day and night and two more weeks at night. The percentage of recidives is very low with this technique.

Smarrito Stéphane is an experienced Aesthetic Surgeon (Switzerland and France). He had performed over 400 laser nymphoplasty and combined labiaplasty procedures. He had articles, about intimate surgery, published and submitted in the “Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery” medical journal. He is the member of the GRIRG.

Abstract:

We sought to assess benefits from a combined labiaplasty technique for the labia minora and majora. We conducted a retrospective study of 93 labiaplasties performed between 2005 and 2014, looking for hypertrophy of the labia minora and atrophy of the labia majora. A laser nymphoplasty was performed according to the technique described by the author in the Plastic Reconstructive Surgery, relating to a lipo-filling of the labia majora. The average age of patients was 32. The complications were comprised of 4 cases requiring a revision surgery, 1 complete lipo-filling failure, 2 cases of excess labia volume and 3 cases of dyspareunia after 1 month that finally regressed. Finally, 90 patients were “very satisfied” with the operation. The fat resorption rate varied from 30 to 50% (Initial volume averaging 7cc per side). The combined procedure is more difficult than a simple labiaplasty, especially during the cutting of skin flaps just before the lipofilling. Patients should be informed of the long-term consequences of the operation, because the initial appearance may provoke anxiety. Disunion rates, the principal complication described in the literature for labiaplasty is lower with this method, and is comparable to rates reported for laser labiaplasty. No case of fat infection was reported. This technique is an approach that is more restorative than purely centered on sexuality. We recommend this method that includes an additional procedure over a simple nymphoplasty, because it results in a natural, anatomically correct appearance, which can be the cause of much satisfaction among patients.

Abstract:

A 45-year-old woman underwent a delayed breast reconstruction with a free Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator Flap (DIEP flap) with total flap failure on the fourth postoperative day. Hematological investigation to exclude thrombofilia revealed a resistance to activated protein C (APC) with a factor V Leiden heterozygous mutation. The post-operative course was further complicated by delayed wound healing probably due to ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) related cytotoxic activity to fibroblasts. The surgeon must be aware of the use of preoperative nutritional supplement administration among patients. Future cost-effectiveness analyses should be made to warrant preoperative thrombophilia screening to prevent free flap failures.

Abstract:

Introduction: Columella reconstruction is a challenging task for surgeons and a number of different techniques have been described in the literature. We report a case where the defect involved columella, caudal septum and the nasal floor. Due to the defect and patient choice, many of the current well-known techniques could not be performed. Materials & Methods: A 70-year-old heavy-smoker female presented with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the columella involving caudal septum and floor of the nose. This was resected using a wide local excision leaving her with a significant defect of the nasal columella, caudal septum and nasal vestibule floor. The reconstructive technique involved 4 distinct operative stages. It is a combination of transposition flaps, pedicle flaps, cartilaginous grafts and skin grafts. Discussion: Many different techniques are available currently. Each has distinct advantages and disadvantages and the anatomy of the defect we wish to reconstruct largely determines the chosen technique. Other factors in technique choice include patients pre-morbid condition, and of course, patient choice. Our technique was reviewed 12 months later and revealed good skin color matching and minimal scarring due to lack of regional flaps. There was slight loss of tip projection however this is minimal. Overall this complied with the patient’s wishes and is a reproducible technique. Conclusion: The nasal columella is a difficult subunit of the nose to reconstruct. There are many factors involved when selecting one of the numerous techniques for reconstruction. Our technique has produced satisfactory results and importantly was compliant with the patient’s wishes.

Abstract:

Brachial plexus injury in adults has variable incidence throughout the world – commoner in those countries where motor cycle use is widespread as a mode of transport. Other types of road accidents, falls from heights, heavy objects falling on shoulder, shoulder dislocation, and entrapment in narrow spaces (machinery) are some of the other universal aetiological factors. Though upper brachial plexus injury is highly treatable surgically there is still scope for improvement in approach as well as technique. On the other hand, surgical management of global brachial plexus injury is still far from being perfect. In fact, variability and unpredictability in surgical results have left many a surgeon think twice before embarking upon certain procedures. Also, I personally feel that surgery at its contemporary standards have not much more to offer. However, there is definitely room for radical thinking that should develop new surgical procedures resulting in excellent outcomes. At the same time, there is a need for radical thinking that should incorporate fast emerging technologies such as robotics, nanotechnology, stem cell research and genetic engineering etc to help regain hand function in global plexus injury patients. In this presentation I have tried to propose a rational approach to decision making and surgical management of both upper and global brachial plexus injuries. This is based on our extensive experience in managing these injuries over the years. It will be presented mainly in the form of algorithms and guidelines.

Abstract:

Today thanks to the efficiency of fillers and botulinum toxin and progress in injection techniques it’s possible to achieve natural, visible younger-looking skin. Combining hyaluronic acid filling with calcium hydroxyapatite, PDO threads and botulinum toxin in a right way is granted to give a younger look maintaining natural appearance and preserving facial emotions. Depending on the facial type and the age of the patient, I treat all the face in a personal way using the same products in a different dosage and with a different technique. The right product in the right place is the only way to allow patient to experience a new face and to look younger, a new found beauty in one session with no downtime.

Abstract:

Endoscopy assisted malar reduction with greenstick fracture is a treatment method for preserving body eminence and improving arch protrusion. However, there were limitations to the application when needing the malar body reduction. For the limitations, we invented a new method using endoscope without intraoral incision, which reduces body protrusion and tried to apply the method for malar reduction. We enrolled 261 patients who visited the clinic from January 2013 to December 2014. Their ages with an average of 31. After a scalp incision, an incomplete osteotomy was done on the most prominent portion of the body of zygoma and then a complete osteotomy on the arch. Osteotomy of body was proceed from frontozygomatic angle until zygomaticomaxillary suture line. This section makes a right angle with zygomaticomaxillary suture and it form L-Shaped zygomatic body. The segment formed with L-shaped incomplete osteotomy and complete osteotomized arch used an inner cortex of zygomatic body as pivot and we applied inward rotation. (L-rotation Technique) Among the 261 patients with the L-Rotation technique, 242 patients were given a corticotomy. From those patients, 15 patients underwent a different degree of a zygoma reduction on both sides. Most patients were satisfied with it and there were no specific complications. Endoscopically assisted malarplasty using ‘an L-rotation technique’ enables an arch and body protrusion to be improved, and is able to control the site and numbers for corticotomy based on the zygomatic body protrusion. Surgeons, as well as patients, were satisfied by the results.

Abstract:

The Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method of Hair transplantation is becoming more popular because of the patient preferences and it has advantages of rapid recovery, comfortable post-operative period and chance of much more graft transplantation than strip method in some cases. Complications in this method are rare and donor site complications are very rare in the literature. I want to present and discuss one of these rare donor site complications that I have encountered: a 39 year old male patient with donor site ischemia and necrosis which progressed and increased during the graft extraction period and then healed with a scarring alopecia area. Conclusion: Heavy smoking, thin subcutaneous tissue, prolonged pressure on donor region and perhaps increased blood viscosity together and/or solely may reduce tissue blood circulation and that may lead to tissue ischemia and necrosis in FUE harvesting.

Abstract:

Facial aging with change in facial shape and deepening of the Nasolabial fold, jowling and neck rhytids are some of the undesirable effects of the normal aging process. Face-lifting techniques continue to evolve with focus on different layers of the face to maximize and prolong the results. Regardless of the method used, best natural results are achieved by addressing five main areas: The neck platysma muscle, the Nasolabial fold, the Jowls, Fat and volume distribution and Symmetry. In this presentation we will present how to address these areas in the five step approach.

Abstract:

I present three different clinical presentation of melanoma in situ, all confirmed by Histopathology (HP): (1) 3 mm dark brown lesion on the lower leg of 20 year old female, clinicly non suspicious, looking like junctional mole, but dermoscopicaly had positive criteria for Melanoma; (2) 25 mm black lesion that lasted 2 years in pectoral region of the 45 year old mail, clinically suspicious leasion according to ABCDE criteria and diagnosis of melanoma was made even with naked eye. Dermoscopy confirmed it, but HP was not expected but rather much deeper melanoma; and (3) 6 mm multicoloured lesion in the back of 36 year old female, only 2 ABCDE criteria for malignant lesion. Dermoscopy confirmed positive criteria for melanoma. The clinical presentation of melanoma in situ can be various but mainly these lesions are not diagnosed easily since their clinical appearance do not meet ABCDE rules for malignant lesions. They are likely to be diagnosed by dermoscopy. Fitzpatrick type of skin, number of moles, melanoma in the family and sun-burning in childhood are to be taken in consideration as risk factors as well as several anamnestic features: enlargement of nevus, recent appearance, change of colour. Identification of individuals who may have a hereditary susceptibility for the development of melanoma is essential to provide an opportunity for primary prevention, and to target high-risk groups for early diagnosis and treatment. Necessity of dermoscopic examination of all, even non suspicious nevus in such group of patients is a must in order to make correct diagnose.

Abstract:

Introduction: Modern surgical techniques use a subunit principal to nasal reconstruction. The nasal columella is one of the most challenging subunits to reconstruct. There many procedures described in the literature. As such this paper aims to describe the techniques present in existing literature, the circumstances under which they are indicated, their advantages and shortcomings. Materials & Methods: We performed a thorough literature search on Pub-med up to and including all papers published in July 2015. The key-words used included “nasal columella” and “reconstruction”. This search criterion revealed 41 articles. After searching through these and their references we were able to identify 10 different techniques. Discussion: As mentioned above there are ten techniques described in the literature for the reconstruction of the isolated nasal columella defect. These techniques include a wide range of operative procedures including, local flaps, skin grafts and free flaps. They vary in complexity and some require multiple operations. Each has advantages and disadvantages as described by the authors and knowledge of the techniques available will aid pre-operative planning. Conclusion: In this article we have presented the surgical methods that have been published in the literature for columella reconstruction and the variety of the techniques demonstrates that not one technique is considered the best. The choice of technique depends on the extent of the defect and patient’s choice as well as the surgical expertise. This article provides the surgeons with a collection of the methods that they can add to their armamentarium of surgical techniques when dealing with columella reconstruction.

Abstract:

Aim: To analyze the incidence and characteristics of cervocofacial traumas related to aggression by sword based on observations during ENT and head & neck surgical activity in a tropical area. Sources & Methods: The anamnestic data, physical examination and documentation were achieved during consultations and urgent calls to be analyzed retrospectively. Results: Admissions related to trauma of the head & neck area were frequent. Besides of the accidents it was related to the high number of aggressions and the fact that there was no maxillo-facial surgeon in the area. The number of aggressions by sword leading to wounds of the head & neck area was exceptionally high. Single, multiple, superficial and life threatening lesions were treated. All patients survived. Concerns about cicatrisation may lead to further plastic interventions. Conclusion: In some areas social factors, agressivity may lead to armed attacks. The head & neck represents a main target area. The arms are different but where swords are used in everyday activities like gardening, they are used frequently. ENT surgeons must be trained to deal with these lesions, respecting the cosmetological aspects as well. Further Aesthetic surgeries may be necessary.

Alexandre Charao graduated in 1997 and receives an increasing number of patients searching for gluteal augmentation with implants and also with fat.

Abstract:

For cultural reasons, Brazil is, together with USA, highly placed in terms of plastic surgery, more than 400.000 per year. Butt augmentation is more and more performed, gaining some positions over other aesthetic procedures. New techniques for gluteal augmentation are better understood nowadays by surgeons and by general public. The use of intra-muscular anatomical shape implants has allowed nicer results, very natural, instead of old artificial results we used to see with round implants placed above the muscle. The surgery takes about 90 minutes and is done under spinal anesthesia, the patient is usually discharged the next day. Post-op cnsultations starts 3 days after. Small complications like wound dehiscence are common on the first ten cases and demands frequent revisions. Moderate complications like sub-cutaneus fat also happen and more agressive debidridement can be indicated, together with broad spectrum antibiotics. Severe complications do happen, like implant rotation and implant infection. In all cases, the surgeon can be sure that a long post-op will be necessary, together with frequent consultations. A close contact with the patients is necessary. The goal of this presentaion is to show what we can do to decrease this high complication rate. Antibiotic prophylaxis, special surgical techniques, prompt action after the surgery are all necessary to improve our patient´s quality of life and results, much more then other procedures. The results are aesthetically impressive, failure to achieve them is an ackward situation for both patient and surgeon.

Abstract:

Androgenetic alopecia is a genetically determined disorder, where we observe hair loss. Among men it is the most common type of alopecia. Despite conservative treatment only hair transplantation gives the natural aesthetic results. In my clinic 100% of hair transplantations is performed using FUE which is Follicular Unit Extraction. In the FUE technique we use S.A.F.E. System. The new device, which we use in this technique, is a special punch, called hex-punch. In this presentation the anatomy of hex-punch will be presented. The hexagonal shaft induces skin vibrations while entering the skin. The unique tip shape of this dull punch improves follicular extraction. The advantages of this technique in harvesting hair are profound: easy extraction, increased speed in collecting grafts, lower percentage of trans-sections, proper depth entry into the skin, ease of learning. Our results after using hex-punch are rate of trans-sections: 2-4% and speed of the extraction: 750-900 grafts per hour. By using hex-punch in the FUE technique we can improve results of hair transplantation.

Abstract:

Background: Regeneration, maintenance and degeneration form the lifecycle of any living organism. Ageing is apparent when degeneration overtakes regeneration. 1. Removal of toxins from the body (e.g. detoxification) will help to prevent premature failure of the organs. 2. Creating conditions for the body to absorb optimum nutrition from the food we eat which allows the body to rebuild heal and rejuvenate it. The imbalance between the synthesis and collagen breakdown is the primary cause of skin problems such as wrinkles. If stress cortisol level increases, increased levels of cortisol in persistent stress weaken the immune system of the body. When one is exposed to repeated or chronic stress the wear and tear associated with it is which grows over a period of time is called the allostatic load. This weakens the body immune system by causing stress hormonal imbalance. Method: In Ayurveda, first of all constitutional analysis called Prakriti Prikshan is done to analyze the predominant doshas. After judiciously analyzing the predominant doshas full body detoxification and mental detoxification is done. Two prominent treatments are Shirodhara and Nasyam. They are performed to target the increase in the oxygen supply per cellular level and to achieve the equilibrium state of alpha waves in sleeping. Result: We conducted a study on ten patients in which we found a marked improvement in the blood pressure and other vital parameters in 3 weeks of consolidated treatment of Panchkarma, breathing, exercises yoga and following ayurvedic life style. All the Ayurvedic Panchkarma therapies brought the stress levels remarkably down as per the HAMILTON Conclusion: This retrospective 6 month clinical study showing the effectiveness of these Panchkarma therapies for ageing showed that the treatment is very effective for treatment of mid face, jowls and neck wrinkled and skin tightening of facial areas. It also shows significant improvement for cellulite reduction. Detoxification and rejuvenation allows us to truly achieve anti-aging in a very gentle and natural manner. The whole body will uniformly undergo anti-ageing and will not only look younger but the subject will also feel years younger and will with dedicated effort stay that way for years to come.

Abstract:

Background: Fat grafting for volume replacement and correction of defects has been used for many decades. It always implied that over addition of fat volume is a requirement as there is about 30-40% reduction of the volume of the injected fat over a period of time. Fat injection as small beads in different tissue planes is the best way to get a long term improvement. Patients & Methods: 300 patients underwent multi-planar fat grafting to the face and other parts of the body over a period of the last 4 years. Fat was harvested from the abdomen, flanks or thighs. It was washed, sieved and centrifuged and only live fat cells were taken up for injection. Larger globules (macro fat) of fat were injected in the deeper layers while micro fat was injected in the superficial layers. Nano fat was injected just under the skin layer. Results: There was a very uniform improvement seen in all the patients with no volume loss and with no touch up needed on assessment at 6 months. Conclusion: Facial contour restoration is being revolutionized by the new multi-planar fat grafting for volume augmentation and a consensus is now being achieved for the technique to be used for fat grafting.

Abstract:

Purpose: Presenting the recent 2 decades evolution and perspective of first author’s augmentation mammaplasty procedure. Materials & Methods: 4 evolution items included: a. Pocket Plane: from sub-muscular to sub-fascial; b. Incision Approach: from axillary to periareolar; c. Silicon Implant Insertion: From finger to silicon implant injector; d. Implantation Material: from silicon implant to autologous fat injection? Results: Superior result received from the evolution procedures at item a. b. and c. Controversial result received from the evolution procedure at item d. Conclusion: Most of the evolution procedures of augmentation, mammaplasty in author’s hand received positive perspective and worth of recommendation. Implant augmentation mammaplasty remains the most popular procedure, not current fat injection augmentation, due to its less perfect result and can’t be used in every case.

Abstract:

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has emerged as a new treatment modality in regenerative plastic surgery, and preliminary evidence suggests that it might have a beneficial role in hair re-growth. Here, we report the results of a randomized, evaluator-blinded and placebo-controlled, half-head group study to compare, with the aid of computerized trichograms, hair re-growth with PRP versus placebo. The safety and clinical efficacy of autologous PRP injections for pattern hair loss were investigated. PRP, prepared from a small volume of blood, was injected on half of the selected patients’ scalps with pattern hair loss. The other half was treated with placebo. Three treatments were administered to each patient at 30-day intervals. The endpoints were hair re-growth, hair dystrophy as measured by dermoscopy, burning or itching sensation and cell proliferation as measured by Ki67 evaluation. Patients were followed for 2 years. Of the 23 patients were enrolled, 3 were excluded. At the end of the 3 treatment cycles, the patients presented clinical improvement in the mean number of hairs, with a mean increase of 33.6 hairs in the target area and a mean increase in total hair density of 45.9 hairs per cm2 compared with baseline values. No side effects were noted during treatment. Microscopic evaluation showed the increase of epidermis thickness and of the number of hair follicles 2 weeks after the last PRP treatment compared with baseline value (p<0.05). We also observed an increase of Ki67+ keratinocytes in the epidermis and of hair follicular bulge cells and a slight increase of small blood vessels around hair follicles in the treated skin compared with baseline (p<0.05). Relapse of androgenic alopecia was not evaluated in all patients until 12 months after the last treatment. After 12 months, 4 patients reported progressive hair loss; this was more evident 16 months after the last treatment. Those four patients were re-treated. Our data clearly highlight the positive effects of PRP injections on male pattern hair loss and absence of major side effects. PRP may serve as a safe and effective treatment option against hair loss; more extensive controlled studies are needed.

Biography:

Ardeshir Vahidi originated the term ‘psychoaesthetics’. As a cosmetic surgeon, he believes that there is a psychological reason behind needs of patients for surgery, cosmetic surgery can only be well done when creates the balance between mind and body, understanding of both the patients inner view of themselves and how they want to represent themselves outside. He works with this ethic to deliver ‘pain free’ intervention and both surgical and microsurgical techniques that leave minimal scarring or bruising. He is passionate about seeing cosmetic surgery as an art to help accentuate the natural curves and lines rather than inflate them.

Abstract:

According to my previous publication, mentioning idea of “informational lines with intense sexual signals “in these two case report I do bring the practical proves for sustaining of my personal theory, evidence of need for nice line, shape and form which contents sexual signals. The fact that, lines have their own languages and words, giving the things a meaning, senseand expression, especially in this context I am referring to the Shapes, Contours on women’s face in the term of “Psychoaesthetics”. One of the most important issues in surgery of upper lip, “removing or the excision of skin lesions/moles on upper lip”, specifically on the Cupid area, could leave a considerable modified anatomical reports, (post-op asymmetrical aspect of lips and visible unwanted scar). The usual procedure in a case of excision biopsy of any skin lesion according to the British guide lines, has to be vertically and with 2 mm surrounding secure margin for not leaving any residual tissue behind. These two case reports of mine are about a patient of 55 and other 65 years old which were concerned about post-op outcome and the asymmetrical appearance of the upper lip after excision biopsy of a long standing mole. As we know the vertical excision of lesions on upper lip will leave anasymmetrical aspect of lip and a visible scar later on. So in this technique I avoid the asymmetrical aspect of the upper lip, using my personal approach of a butterfly incision which is in accordance to the guide lines of primary excision biopsy of skin lesion in UK and cosmetic post-op outcome within an invisible scar. I have to highlight the fact that after this procedure the patient has a permanent lip augmentation which will give her a unexpected cosmetic result and psychological comfort and satisfaction. Conclusion: If the removal of a mole or skin lesion from upper lip with vertical approach gives the patient a release of not having a malignant or suspected lesion, but it will give her a permanent and undoable asymmetrical lip and a vertical visible scar. I am highlighting that in my proposed technique the patient will have an excellent outcome and be psychologically satisfied as well as having the removal of a suspected lesion. Advantages: Excision biopsy is done at the limit and margin as requested in guidelines. (margin of 2 mm). Avoiding the asymmetric lip. No visible scar Excellent cosmetic aspect of the lip by a permanent lip augmentation. Patient’s psychological satisfaction. Safe revision surgery if is needed. Easy lip reconstruction for further excision in case. Disadvantages: Invisible Cupid Bow in case of mole or skin lesions over the Cupid’s Bow. Risks: Incomplete excision of lesion, Asymmetric width of Vermilion of lip. Revision surgery to be needed Methods and Instruments: Microsurgical Loops, Microsurgical tools as iris, needle holder, scissor.6/0 Vicrylrapide.suture.
