He takes the time to listen to each patient to gain a better understanding of their desires and expectations. Patients from all over the world come to him to benefit from his unique training and medical expertise.

Abstract:

The study of anthropometry defines the beauty of the torso from a geometric perspective. Anthropometry therefore aids the plastic surgeon in planning the reshaping of the torso and also makes positioning of areolae and the umbilicus easier. When performing surgery on the breast, it is necessary to relate the breast to the torso as a whole, being anthropometry perfect for this process. When the anthropometric proportions are respected, the result is aesthetically optimal, and the perceived beauty of the body is enhanced. The study of anthropometry is widespread in the artistic field, and I have chosen the work of sculptor, Carlo Rochet, as the basis for my own use of anthropometry during plastic surgery. Level of Evidence: Level V, diagnostic study.

Biography:

Dr. Haffner has concluded his medicine study and his doctorate in Budapest, Hungary in 1979 and he became a specialised general surgeon in 1985.

He passed the european examination cosmetic surgery and he is a board certified cosmetic surgeon of the International Board of Cosmetic Surgery in Cambridge, UK.

Abstract:

The old cervico-facial facelift is the most established and most effective proven procedure for the rejuvenation of the face. To fulfill the patient´s wishes, to promote a quick healing process and social ability the author developed the endoscopic modification of the old cervicofacial facelift without any facial scar. Stigmas by facelift, an operated appearance and the complications are those main reasons for fears of the patients. The scare sparing TEF is possible by using endoscop for the preparation of working cavities in the temple, in the lateral face and in the middle face compartments. All this compartments will be connected with each other and by this way a common large facial flap constructed. The large common flap of the lateral face and midface are repositioned and anchored onto the malar bone with endoscopic suture technique under video endoscopic visualisation. The single layer approach resembles to the well known MACS lift by P.Tonnard , howewer without a visible pre-trichal scar: the scar of the TEF is hidden in the hair bearing skin. The procedure can be carried out also as an endoscopic dual plane facelift, combinig the TEF with a subperiosteal midface lift from Oscar Ramirez. The results of the TEF are amazing: each patient, which would like to have no visible scars chooses the scar free TEF instead of a MACS Lift. Older patients with a lot of skin excess of the jaw and neck howewer are best suitable for conventionally lower facelift. The author suggests the scar sparing Temporal Endoscopic Facelift (TEF) therefore particular for younger patients whose main problem is the midface, where the first signs of aging always accours, who has only beginning and limited jawling and cervical relaxation. Because facelift operations are wished more and more by younger patients, the new scar-saving method can become the mostly asked kind of facial lift in the future.

Abstract:

Finger pulp defects are commonly encountered in clinical settings and their treatment remains a consistent challenge for plastic and hand surgeons. Reconstruction should restore, as much as possible, the contour of the pulp as well as discriminating sensibility. Following the prime reconstructive principle of replacing "like with like," the free neurovascular toe pulp flap seems to be the optimal choice for digital pulp reconstruction because of the natural similarity of the digital pulp both anatomically and physically. However, after about 30 years of experience with this procedure, it is still controversial because it is technically demanding, involves donor site morbidity, and its reliability is questionable. With other small free flaps available, the application of this flap has been challenged and reconsidered. We specifically focus on the reconstruction of soft tissue defects of digital pulp using the free neurovascular toe flap, aiming to investigate its advantages and drawbacks and obtain a comprehensive understanding of this procedure. Our experience and the latest reconstruction concerns and technical refinements are also discussed.

Abstract:

The immediate non-invasive true medical face lifts using muscular repositioning without volume augmentation by myoplasty, myopexy and myotension (called Endopeel techniques) is a new weapon for facial plastic surgeons as cosmetic dermatologists. A true facelift is a technique leading to a skin excess which will be removed, to perform a good skin tension without exaggeration (to avoid necrosis), and that without any volume augmentation. The Endopeel techniques can lead if decided by the facial plastic surgeon to a pretragal skin excess, which can be removed, and that too without volume augmentation. These techniques can be proposed to patients wishing to maintain the benefits of a surgical face lift, to patients which are not candidates for the surgery, to surgeons who want to complete their surgical operation acting on the forbidden areas for the surgery (terminal ramifications of the facial nerve) and/or the areas which are not reachable form in invasive surgery. The advantages of these techniques are important for the patients: the immediate effect, the absence of scars, the absence of down time, the absence of social eviction, as the transitory complications which are limited only to short duration edema and ecchymosis which may be avoided with the use of some medications. Facial paralysis can benefit too of these techniques to decrease the social aspect offacial asymmetry.

Abstract:

Aesthetic gynecology is a relatively new branch of medicine that allows woman to correct their intimate body part and demands for this procedure are already very high. These procedures were most commonly required due to the damage resulting from child birth, defects of the intimate parts. Today our aim is also to give back our patients the quality of their intimate relationship and to intervene in case of discomforts during sexual intercourse and/or dissatisfaction of the body parts. We have at our disposal treatments that involve surgery and new procedures both for functional or cosmetic disorder. The difference stays in the problem we have to solve. Regarding surgery, at the moment we can use it in woman for labiaplasty (reduction or augmentation), clitoral hood reduction and for the mount of venus. The use of laser and hyaluronic acid is a revolution of our time because it means some less invasive treatments for sexual complexes and a new frontier to face till now unexplored disorders. All this is well accepted by the patient that can start living her sexuality with freedom and enjoying it. As regards the new treatments in woman aesthetic gynecology we have also to consider laser for vulvovaginal pathologies and restructuration through the use of CO2 laser, for the rejuvenation and regeneration of vagina mucosa and the perineal reduction with manual treatments and with botulinum toxin injection or with PRP in association with threads. The most important thing to consider is the impact that these new treatment have on patients. Sexual life is a psychological aspect that can really influence in a positive way the life of a person.

Abstract:

Nutricosmetics / Edible cosmetics are oral based natural health products containing targeted nutrients and antioxidant that can have a preventive or therapeutic effect on the skin, hair or nails. They evolve from nutraceutical and cosmeceutical markets. The founder of nutricosmetics was the Swedish biochemist Ake Dahlgren, who launched the first such product in the late 1980s. In the last decade, the advancement in the manufacturing technology and prospective clinical data have created a favorable body of evidence to support its efficacy. Nutricosmetics are available in various forms like capsules, tablets, drinks, tinctures, beverages, powdered stick packs, functional foods, etc. Presently Nutricosmetics share is about 1% of Global personal care market but the predicted Global Nutricosmetics market in 2017 is estimated to be $ 4.5 Billion and over three fourths of the sales are from Japan and China. Since the eastern markets retain the majority of market share, many experts still believe North America to be a virtually “untapped market.” Nutricosmetics Products are Vitamins, Antioxidants, omega 3 fatty acid, Oral Photo-Protective Nutrients, Carotinoids, Flavonoids, Coenzyme Q10, Collagen, biotin, fatty acid, Saw Palmetto, Amino acid complexes, Glutathione, etc. It is positioned into Anti ageing products, for skin, hair and nails, for weight loss, beauty drinks and as a supplement for cosmetic surgery and treatment. The possible reason for its growth are - aging population, rising medical health care costs, inclination towards less invasive beauty treatments, emergence of the spa culture and increased desire to “age well and look well.” The shifting of lifestyle treatment to prevention interventions and growing demand of wellness are the main reason behind this study.

She has published several papers in reputed journals and serves as Fellow of Royal Society of Medicine

Abstract:

The main function of the skin is to act as a protective barrier. This can be compromised following cosmetic procedures. Hyaluronic acid (HA) combined with succinic acid is an effective post-surgical treatment as it forms a film on the skin, reducing the risk of infection. It also maintains skin hydration and reduces excessive inflammation. Our in vitro studies indicated a role for succinate in stimulating fibroblast proliferation. So to investigate the effect of skin rejuvenation, a study was carried out to determine the effect of HA and succinate on collagen production. 20 healthy volunteers were randomly allocated to 2 groups. Both groups were provided oral collagen to take daily for 2 weeks. One group had a non-cross-linked form of HA combined with succinate injected into the dorsal aspect of both hands. After 2 weeks, greater collagen levels were measured in those having had the injection and taking hydrolyzed collagen, indicating that HA, succnic acid and collagen are all essential for collagen production. Therefore, redermalization with HA combined with succinate and a collagen supplement may lead to greater skin rejuvenation than collagen alone.

She is member of various scientific societies- American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), Dermatology Society of Argentina (SAD), and many more.

Abstract:

Skin aging is a progressive loss of cell functions influenced by the combination of endogenous and exogenous factors, mostly ultraviolet light (UV) exposure. This event is closely related to impairment of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) synthesis. The cutaneous extracellular matrix (ECM) is mostly composed of proteins and GAGs. The main role of GAGs is to maintain and support the structure and function of ECM, and to retain moisture. We will discuss about a new antiaging cosmetic formulation based on: Wharton Gel Complex® (WGC®), IFC-Cellular Activation Factor (IFC-CAF®) and Retinsphere® technology. WGC®, is isolated from Wharton’s jelly from the umbilical cord of pigs following a patented procedure and constituted by a unique mixture of natural GAGs that resembles the composition of a healthy ECM. IFC-CAF® is obtained by extracting the eggs from the gastropod Cryptomphalus aspersa, and is a new cosmetic ingredient rich in Growth Factors that stimulates mesenchymal stem cells and protects cells against UV-induced damage. Retinsphere® technology incorporates two topical retinoids, retinol glycospheres and hydroxypinacolone retinoate, which directly interacts with the retinoic acid receptor with similar activities but does not induce irritation. The results of this innovative combination in a significant improvement of aging skin signs will be reviewed.

Between January 2000 and 2010 around 5,200 patients have been treated with Liposculpture. Between 2011 and 2012 only 10 patients have been treated with ADRCs “Adipose-Derived Stem & Regenerative Cells” and 20 patients have been treated with fat enriched Stem Cells. In this study, we discuss the aesthetic result and regenerative action of:

  • Fat Graft
  • Fat enriched stem cells (Fat Tissue + ADRCs)
  • li>ADRCs
  • Pure Stem Cells
  • The use of fat graft with or without ADRCs provides great results in aesthetic, rejuvenation and regenerative procedures. There is an enormous amount of promise with stem cells in plastic and reconstructive surgery, which needs at least 5 years to be scientifically proven.

    Abstract:

    The growing demand of clients for full body skin lightening in Asia and Africa is the main reason behind this study and Glutathione supplement with Vitamin C is proving its efficacy very well in this particular segment. Glutathione /GHS is body’s Master Antioxidant, Detoxifier and Tyrosinase Inhibitor. Glutathione is a tripeptide made up of three amino acid cysteine, glutamic acid and glyceine and is found naturally in many fruits, vegetables and meats. Supplements of Glutathione shows skin lightening as well as age defying effects! It is produced in human liver and plays a key role in intermediary metabolism, immune response and health. When glutathione is taken in a higher dosage, the pathway of melanin is altered and is proven to reverse the melanin\\\'s metabolism turning dark pigmentations (eumelanin) into light pigmentations (Phaeomelanin) by inhibiting and blocking Tyrosinase enzyme. Continuous and consistent supplementation will result into gradual skin lightening. Its dosage and results depend upon body weight as well as color of skin for eg. results visible on Light-medium brown skin: 1-3 months, Dark brown skin: 3-6 months, Very dark skin: 6-12 months & Black skin: 18 months minimum and above. A Glutathione efficacy in skin lightening works only if it is taken with Vitamin C at least equal or twice its dosage. Standard dosage is 20-40mg/kg of body weight for 3-6 months once or twice in a day and best if taken at night 2-3 hours after last meal for better absorption. It gives skin a radiant glow, Controls acne and prevents acne marks, Defies the aging process, Protect skin from sun and environmental damages, Lighten skin color, pigmentation, tan & freckles, Anti-aging & anti wrinkles- make skin smooth, fresh & radiant, Hasten healing of wounds and Nourishes skin. My company is promoting Glutathione supplement – Ifair in India from last 4 year and has many satisfied customer, so I just wanted to share the efficacy and mode of action of it on our skin which many of us are not aware.

    Abstract:

    To analyse the anatomical characteristics of the marginal mandibular nerve with its impact on esthetic surgeries. Sources and methods: After the approval of the ethical committee 108 extratemporal facial nerves were dissected in the department of pathology. Intradissective observations, digital documentation, macroscopic and stereomicroscopic results of the removed specimens were analysed. Results: The characteristics of the examined nerves present an important difference of their course, diameter, branching patterns, collateral structures and vascularisation. Their rapport with other anatomical structures is not constant. Differences may occur regardless of the examined side, sex or age. Even when constant dissective conditions, unpredictible difficulties may occur. Conclusion: The anatomy of the marginal mandibular branch is inconstant. To avoid its damage, profound knowledge of the anatomy and meticulous surgery are musts.

    Abstract:

    Renewed interest in techniques using the patient’s own fat for cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery has been noted in recent years. The use of fat grafting dates back to 1889 when Van der Muelen described the first use in human autotransplantation, closely followed by Neuber in 1893 that used it to fill a soft depression in the face of a woman. In 1910 Lexer published the first report with regards aesthetic medicine. In these procedures, fat harvested from one part of the body is washed (paying attention not to break it), purified and after transferred to other areas; for example fat obtained from a liposuction can be used for breast augmentation, reshaping, and facial rejuvenation. Many patients are always looking out for the most natural types of treatment they can find and the thought of an invasive cosmetic procedure make often delay or postpone a procedure. Fat grafting is an alternative easy and fast procedure to produce, good results with minimal risks, and lasts a long time, and involves the use of biomaterials mainly. All these factors bring a lot of patients continue to prefer this treatment. Once injected in the specific area that need to be treat, fat offers a matricial support to angiogenesis, stimulates the proliferation of pre-adipocytes. In this way patient can have benefits in case of facial deformities or post- surgical defects as well as to recapturing a youthful appearance, eliminating wrinkles, restoring harmonious volumetric facial and body ratio and regaining the wanted contour. Patient regain self- confidence and assurance just like any other cosmetic procedures but without having scars in a natural way, like it is suppose to be. Of course, not all fat grafting is the same because different problems require different solutions. Based on this, we have methods of fat harvesting, method of cells processing, method of transplantation and method of recipient site. There are many factors to be taken into consideration such as the state of the tissue in the recipient site, possible inflammation or the resorbable fat ratio. However, it has a big potential in vast reconstructive and aesthetic procedures.

    Abstract:

    Brachioplasty often involves removing excess skin. Many traditional approaches to this form of surgery are prone to complications and imperfect healing of the incisions. Traditional techniques usually take little or no account of the force vectors that are subsequently applied to the incision after the operation. This contributes towards scarring and other complications. Method The proposed technique involves the explicit application of three balanced force vectors that greatly reduce scar-related complications. Although the scar is longer, it is on the medial side of the arm and usually fades away completely over time, with greatly improved aesthetic results. A closely related aspect of this technique is the application of anthropometric techniques in order to plan the operation for best results. Result The proposed technique has been applied in practice to 23 patients. There were no long-term complications. Temporary paresthesia was observed in 5 patients and temporary swelling of hands in 2 patients. One case of seroma was also detected. Two patient required surgical scar revision. One patient was unsastified with the final scar quality. Conclusions Due to the superficial resection in this technique, no damage to the subcutaneous tissue and lymphatic network occurs, resulting in a more predictable outcome with greatly reduced risk of complications. This technique is particularly good at reducing the scar retraction issues most common when using other single-vector approaches. Level of Evidence: Level IV, therapeutic study.

    Abstract:

    The immediate chemical and medical Gluteopexy is a new weapon for dermatologists, by using the techniques called Endopeel, which have like mechanism of action a myotension, a myoplasty and a myopexy which duration does not exceed 6 months. These techniques can be proposed to patients who wish to get a gluteopexy, to patients who are not candidates for a surgical Gluteoplasty, to patients which refuse suspension threads, to surgeons who want to complete their operation of Gluteoplasty with gluteopexy. The advantages of these techniques are important for the patients, as the immediate effect, the absence of scar, the absence of down time, the absence of social eviction, as the transitory complications which are limited only to short duration edema and ecchymosis.

    Patients’ selection

    • All patients who desire a surgical or non-surgical gluteopexy can be candidates, as those not being candidate for any kind of filler(the fillers are too often sources of complications like granulomas, necrosis, migration, nodules etc.), and those wanting to complete or to maintain the benefits of suspension threads .Best indication is not fatty gluteal area, sagging down.
    • Our critter of exclusion: Alcoholic patients, smokers, pregnant women, subjects under 18 years, patients affected with a cardiopathy, nephropathy and liver problems.

    Benefit and Advantages:

    • The gluteopexy effect is immediate and is perfectly visible 30 minutes after the end of the treatment with a maximum result 2 to 3 days after the procedure.
    • The gluteopexy effect is early and will be relayed by the late peeling effect, specific to the techniques Endopeel.
    • The treatment can be ineffective in 8% of the cases (bad technique).
    • The effectiveness of this treatment increases with the number or the repetition of the procedures because the basic muscular tone will be thus increasingly high on the scale of the tension of this last
    • same patient and by making a comparison between the treated side and the controlateral untreated one by pure visual inspection, or by photographic images, or by using points of reference. Results can be not only appreciated by inspection but also by palpation and eventually for very special experts by percussion
    • These same parameters are taken again to evaluate the duration of the results objectively
    • The procedure is made comfortable for the pusillanimous patients thanks to the special anesthetic gel applied before the Endopeel procedure and giving satisfaction of painless technique to each patient, because the protocol can be adapted perfectly according to the timetable of the patient and also according to his social requirements
    • In the field of safety, so far and since 16 years these techniques started to be used, no legal procedure against a physician using the techniques Endopeel was announced and/or indexed to our knowledge. The only complications met are only transitory, like edema ecchymosis
    • The report/ratio benefit cost of the treatment is accepted in the large majority of the cases

    Techniques

    • The selection of the patients has been described above.
    • The material to be used is the following:
    • The medical device like oily acid carbolic ( DocTNB)
    • Syringes 1 ml luer lock
    • Flexible needles for the body25 or 27g
    • 1 needle 18g to aspire the solution of oily carbolic acid
    • An anesthetic specific gel containing lidocaine 23%, tetracaine 7%, using an emollient lipophilic lubricating gel like vector
    • A post, Endopeel, cold cream
    • Finally one not alcoholic disinfecting product, gloves and gauzes.
    • The technique known as standard treats: the whole gluteal area on all sides, the banana fold, eventually the areas under the banana fold as the area above the bitrochanteric line.
    • Areas of, love handles, can be treated as well if there is no fat excess. In case of fat excess a prior lipoplasty should be done and Endopeel technique can follow 1 month after the lipoplasty procedure.
    • The basic technique consists in injecting in subcutaneous perpendicular to the plan of the muscles 0.10 ml of oily acid carbolic each 2cm and same in the perpendicular plan to the precedent following the direction and the sense to obtain the wished lifting effect using crisscross-technique.
    • Errors: The intra vascular injection of carbolic acid cannot be regarded as an error, considering the sclerosing effect of this substance. The injection into the motor plate or any nerve of carbolic acid may slow down the speed of nervous conduction for short duration.
    • Safety: It is recommended for toxicity reasons not to inject more than 25 ml/ day/ patient . In case a patient needs more than 25 ml, this technique can be divided in consecutive days, respecting the maximal dose per day per patient.

    Conclusion

    Until now, the concept of Gluteoplasty was based only on volume augmentation concept, without taking care of the gluteopexy. With Endopeel techniques one acts not only on the myotension by preserving the muscular mass and without affecting the muscular contraction but also on the myoplasty and the myopexy .With this fact the indications of the fillers become more restricted and will apply only to the depressions which remain after tissue tension of the selected area. Indications of sutures will be too more restricted as they are not only painful but it is rare that a patient submits 2 times to sutures gluteal lift. Finally chemical gluteopexy with a handing-over in tension of tissues with tightening effect like the Endopeel techniques give a better shape of the gluteal area, project a nice convexity of the new gluteal shape , which is tighten too , with redraping of the oranges skin dued to cellulitis ( which gets the, iron effect, with Endopeel ). Also the eventual stretch marks will only optically disappear, being as well redraped through the, iron effect, of Endopeel.
    The technique Endopeel is a new strategic weapon for the Dermatologists and Plastic Surgeons enabling them to complete and/or maintain a Gluteoplasty which is an alternative to the surgery.

    Thomas Haffner

    Title: 3D breast lift without a vertical scar

    Time : 12:00-12:20

    Speaker
    Biography:

    Dr. Haffner has concluded his medicine study and his doctorate in Budapest, Hungary in 1979 and he became a specialised general surgeon in 1985. Since 2000 he opened his own outpatient private clinic for aesthetic-plastic surgery in Cologne, Germany. He has specialised in the cosmetic surgery of the face and the breast and of the intimate surgery. Dr. Haffner owns the Hungarian and German specialist's recognition of the surgery and vascular surgery. He passed the european examination cosmetic surgery and he is a board certified cosmetic surgeon of the International Board of Cosmetic Surgery in Cambridge, UK.

    Abstract:

    The author presents his developing works about a new method of the breast lift without a vertical scar. He has developed a newly constructed breast lift, from which result properly but also naturally tightened breasts from all three dimensions of view und thus without a vertical scar. The new Haffner breast lift means the reposition, the augmentation, the lifting and the stabilisation of the breast in the right position and right projection at the same time without a vertical scar. Ptotic breasts have however often lack of volume. By a simple enlargement with an Implant would we create from a small ptotic breast a large one without a good breast projection and without a nice cleavage. The three dimensional symmetry would be missed. For these challenging cases the role of Haffner´s 3d breast lift is to reposition and to shorten the ptotic breast, so that it will be suitable to be enlarged by an implant in a second session. The main argument for the new method is that, that the proper 3d form in all three dimensions achieved, while a vertical scar is abandoned. Therefore the new 3d breast lift means a new era in the aesthetic-plastic breast surgery. No woman in the future needs to be satisfied with disfiguring vertical scars in case of a breast lift any more. The small as well as a bit larger breasts could and should be tightened in the future without unpleasant vertical scars. The breast Lift with an inverted T- scar was exchanged by the Lift with the vertical scar; the vertical scar now can be exchanged by the lift without them.

    Abstract:

    Breast implants is always a controversial subject. Because, there are many approaches and opinions vary. The Approach Via (areolar, infra-mammary, axillary, endoscopic…) The Anaesthesia (general, local…) The Positioning of the Implant (retro-glandular, retro-pectoral) The Type of Implant (silicone, saline, hydrogel, triglyceride…) The author prefers and usually uses the following procedure, because of fewer complications and better results. THE AREOLAR VIA - First choice (inferior circun-areolar or trans-areolar of Pitangui) because there is no risk of hypertrophic or keloid scaring and it doesn’t disturb the normal breast anatomy and physiology. The criteria, the areola must be at least 3 cm in diameter. According the implant size can be smaller. THE RETROGLANDULAR PLACEMENT – first choice and in almost all cases he prefers this placement because it gives a more natural appearance, there is no discomfort for the patient as in the retro pectoral position and no problem with dislocation of the implant. TUMESCENT LOCAL ANESTHESIA - if there are no counter-indications he prefers the tumescent local anaesthesia. He uses the modified Klein’s formula, 1,7-2 mm Klein’s cannulas and the Byron compressed system. COHESIVE GEL SILICONE PROTHESIS - The author prefers the cohesive gel silicone implants because they are very safe and of excellent quality. SURGICAL TECHNIQUE / PROCEDURE – The incision, approach at aponeurotical level, undermining to perform a pocket at least 2-3 cm bigger than the implant diameter, careful haemostasis, put the implant in place, close by layers. Jackson-Pratt drain is used routinely and removed 24-48 hours after. All patients have a complete clinical history, pre-op routine examinations plus mammography and/or mammary ecography.

    Abstract:

    Melasma is a common hyperpigmentation disorder which mainly affects women with a high phototype and often remains active for several years, being associated with a considerable psychological impact. The management of melasma is often challenging, because it is very resistant to treatments and requires long-term therapeutic protocols. Conventional treatment includes depigmenting products, such as hydroquinone (HQ), retinoids, mequinol, azelaic acid, arbutin, kojic acid, etc., which exert their action at different stages of melanogenesis. In addition, avoidance of aggravating factors is strongly indicated. Combination therapy is usually prescribed, with a typical association of HQ and retinoic acid. However, HQ’s safety has been questioned in certain cases, and prolonged use may lead to adverse effects such as depigmentation and ochronosis, so it cannot be considered as a golden standard. In the search for safer alternatives, a new product based on RetinSphere® technology has been designed. It incorporates two topical retinoids: retinol glycospheres and hydroxypinacolone retinoate, which directly interacts with the retinoic acid receptor but does not induce irritation. Additionally, the product includes other depigmenting active ingredients. The objective has been creating a product which may reduce or even substitute the use of HQ in the management of melasma patients. We will show the results of clinical assays on several skin types and the efficacy and safety of the new combination of retinoids in the improvement of melasma will be discussed.

    Abstract:

    Thread tightening and lifting is a novelty in aesthetic medicine used to achieve a rejuvenation effect on the face and the body. This new method is based on the implanting of multiple mini-threads in the dermis. After pulling needles out, the inserted suture stay into the skin. These threads made from Polydioxanone (PDO) which are biocompatible, synthetic, absorbable, monofilaments, non-toxic and heavy metal free material threads. PDO threads cause a minimal inflammatory reaction in tissue and stimulates tissue neocolagenesis process, create new elastin and hyaluronic acid. They will be absorbed slowly during 6 ‐ 8 months into the body safely so continuing effects are expected. Then, it is a simple, safe and effective techniques to counteract the sagging of the soft tissues of the face and the body that caused by aging and it provides anti-aging effects. The needle sizes that utilize for face are 26-30 G with bended threads of 5-0, 6-0, 7-0USP sizes. The entire procedure takes about 1 hour (depending on treatment area), where an anaesthetic cream is applied on the treatment area prior to the procedure. The results are skin rejuvenation and tightening, wrinkles smoothing, improved skin tone and structure, tightenining pores by new tissues and lifting of the skin. It means a more youthful skin. These procedures have very short down time, long lasting results, the least invasiveness, minimal risk of bleeding and minimal side effects. It could be applied anywhere on the body, including nasolabial fold, eye corners, cheeks, double chin, neck, forehead, glabellar fold and parts of body like forearm and abdomen. PDO thread tightening and lifting is for anyone who wishes to reverse aging effects by fixing these problems from the inside. It is suggested to patients whose main symptom is sagging on the face, wanting smaller youthful face, like to restore volume with natural rejuvenation techniques, wishing to look like their previous younger photos and do not wish to undergo invasive surgeries.

    Abstract:

    Hair Prosthesis (HP) is a valid cosmetic option for patients with advanced alopecia. We evaluated if air-compressed topical Minoxidil (Mx) may improve self-image satisfaction on those patients, by improving their remaining own-hair perception. 43 patients using HP volunteered to complete a questionnaire, inquiring about relevant perceptions during the previous 6-month period. The three specific questions were: 1. Has the aspect of your own-hair improved? 2. Has the density of you own-hair increased? 3. How relevant is for you to maintain and preserve your own-hair over time? Patients’ responses options were classified and marked as: “nothing” (score 1), “barely” (score 2), “something” (score 3) or “much” (score 4). A total score was calculated in each patient by adding up scores from questions 1 and 2. Total score 2-4 was considered poor positive-perception, while total score 5-8 was identified as good positive-perception. 31 patients received air-compressed Mx sessions every other week, during hair-care center visits (Mx Group). HP was temporarily removed before Mx application. 12 patients did receive only cosmetic care during their HP hair-care sessions without Mx application (Control Group). Control Group presented with poor positive-perception (score 2-4) 100% (12/12) and good positive-perception (score 5-8) 0% (0/12). Meanwhile Mx group demonstrated poor positive-perception (score 2-4) (13/31) (41.9%) but good positive-perception (score 5-8) 58.1% (18/31). (P<.01). To maintain and preserve the remaining own-hair was considered much relevant in most patients. Conclusion: Air-compressed topical Minoxidil (Mx) applied every other week, may improve self-image satisfaction on HP patients, by improving their remaining own-hair perception.

    Abstract:

    Background: Androgenic alopecia, the most common form of alopecia, is a major indication for dermatogical consultation. Many literatures highlight nutritional deficiency as a common reason for the development of androgenic alopecia. Use of hormonal preparation and finasteride is associated with side effects of loss of sex drive or impotence. Effective and safe nutritional therapy can be a better option for the managing androgenic alopecia. Objective: Study focuses on the effect of oral supplementation of GainmoreTM M Tablets in the reduction of hair loss and promotion of new hair growth in men with androgenic alopecia. Methods: Men (n=50) with varying levels of hair loss were given GainmoreTM M Tablets once daily for 6 months. GainmoreTM M Tablets is a proprietary blend containing Saw palmetto extract and other nutritional agents. Results: 50% of the participants reported a noticeable decrease in hair loss after 45 to 60 days of treatment. 65% of participants reported significant fall in the hair loss by three months. By the end of the study, majority of men reported new hair growth. This study also suggests that GainmoreTM M brings marked improvement in new hair growth. This effect, however, seems to be more pronounced in participants at the end of fifth month of study. Conclusions: GainmoreTM M oral supplementation in men with androgenic alopecia is effective in reducing hair loss and improving hair growth in men with androgenic alopecia.

    Biography:

    William H. Lindsey is a graduate of the University of Richmond where he received his Bachelor of Science degree in 1986. He graduated from the University of Virginia-Medical School in 1990 and completed his residency training in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at UVA in 1995. Following his residency, he completed a specialized fellowship in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery under the auspices of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Fellowship in South Carolina. At the conclusion of his fellowship, he returned to the University of Virginia as an assistant professor in the Department of Otolaryngology for 4 years. He moved to Northern Virginia in 2000 to practice Hair Transplantation and facial plastic surgery and joined the staff at George Washington University Medical Center. He is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, a Fellow of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, and a Fellow of the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery. He is an associate of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, a member of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgeons. He has been practicing hair transplantation for over 18 years with hundreds of satisfied patients. By training and working with some of the biggest names in the industry he has produced his own unique protocols and methods that have gained him worldwide recognition among patients and surgeons alike. He performs high density, ultra-refined, follicular unit transplantation (FUT) via both strip method and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method and performs mega sessions routinely.

    Abstract:

    Background:

    Scars in hair bearing scalp present unique challenges. While scar revision is the main tool in the reconstructive surgeon’s armamentarium, at times it may have either contributed to the scar problem or may not be an ideal choice. Hair transplantation offers an alternative in select cases. A review of 12 repair cases is presented with discussion of specific nuances particular to graft placement into scar tissue.

    Materials and Methods:

    Review of 12 cases of hair transplantation to repair scars in hair bearing scalp in patients with at least 1 year follow up.

    Results:

    All 12 patients had good to excellent coverage of their scars with hair transplantation using follicular unit harvest by either strip or FUE. In 3 patients, particularly dense and fibrous parts of the treated scar showed less growth but still a significant growth yield. Full growth often required 15 months.

    Discussion:

    In this series, both strip and FUE graft harvest was utilized. In both techniques, minimal trimming of subcutaneous tissue was performed so that the follicular unit was transplanted with slightly more surrounding tissue than for a standard hairline case. Recipient slits were therefore made slightly wider, averaging 1.25mm and minimal pressure was used in graft placement.

    Conclusion:

    In patients with scars in hair bearing scalp, hair transplantation offers an alternative to surgical scar excision. Careful harvest and placement of slightly thicker grafts into properly created recipient slits yields consistent and cosmetically pleasing results.

    Abstract:

    Follicular unit extraction (FUE) is a harvesting procedure where hair is removed directly from the posterior and parietal regions of the scalp (donor area) as individual, naturally occurring groups of 1-4 hairs. The groups of 1-4 hairs harvested are referred to as the “follicular unit”. FUE is an instrument dependent procedure, and therefore, the tool utilized for harvesting the grafts may significantly affect the results. The FUE technique consists of two main steps:

    • Separation of follicular units from the surrounding skin, and
    • extraction of the follicular units from the scalp. Step one of an FUE procedure, the separation of the follicular units from the surrounding donor tissue, is a highly repetitive and labor intensive process that requires great precision and accuracy. This step, which must be repeated manually hundreds to thousands of times in a typical FUE procedure, subjects the patient to significant human error and variability.
    • The robotic system, ARTAS® system (Restoration Robotics, Sunnyvale, CA), was introduced in 2011 to automate the punch mechanism, which is the crucial first step of a FUE procedure. The robotic system increases the accuracy of graft harvesting, which in turn minimizes damage to hair follicles and reduces harvesting time. Each of these factors potentially contributes to increased graft survival. Additionally, a more recent advancement of the robotic system is its ability to perform automated recipient site creation. Preliminary observations suggest that it can accomplish this function with greater precision and consistency than when performed manually.
      The ARTAS® Robotic system is an image-guided system composed of a robotic arm, dual-needle punch mechanism, video imaging system, and a user interface. Its extraction technique consists of a double-punch arrangement with an inner (sharp) punch and outer (dull) punch. The inner punch has cutting capabilities to score the upper most part of the skin and the outer punch has a blunt edge used for dissection of the follicular units from the surrounding tissue that minimizes injury to the grafts. The image-guided system allows this step to be accomplished with great precision. The patient lies on a specially designed operating table that allows access of the robotic arm to the donor area of the scalp. The robotic arm is monitored and controlled from a computer system and there is a wall mounted control that is visible to the physician and staff.

    Abstract:

    Acute telogen effluvium (ATE) is often associated with Female Androgenetic Alopecia (FAA) but predictive factors of ATE - FAA association, and clinical factors or therapies which may influence the progression of ATE to Chronic Telogen Effluvium (CTE) have not been reported yet. We have retrospectively analyzed 503 ATE patients with a minimum 1-year follow-up. Demographic and clinical variables considered were: age, year when ATE diagnosis was made, region where patient was located, different oral treatment modalities, and Minoxidil topical therapy. Triggering causes were classified as follows: (1) Seasonal hair loss, (2) Severe Diet, (3) Postpartum, (4) Iron deficiency, (5) Psychoemotional stress, (6) Thyroid dysfunction, (7) Medication intake or withdrawal, (8) Antineoplastic therapies and/or major surgery, (9) More than one of the above mentioned. Chronic telogen effluvium (CTE) diagnosis was established when ATE lasted longer than 1 year. FAA diagnosis was always established by the patient’s physician. Univariate analysis and a binary logistic regression model were used to identify independent predictive factors of ATE – FAA association and CTE progression. Then, we have identified predictive factors of ATE – FAA association. Conclusions: Triggering Cause is an independent predictive factor of ATE-FFA Association. Triggering causes with higher risk of concurrent FAA are: severe diet, iron deficiency and thyroid dysfunction. Patients suffering ATE may benefit from different therapeutic approaches (depending on which is the triggering cause) to prevent or treat their association with FAA. Minoxidil use shows a trend to lower the percentage of progression to CTE.

    Abstract:

    3rd Generation Radio Frequency technology is the world’s most advanced Radio Frequency technology. It is clinically proven and is used successfully by physicians, aestheticians and in clinics around the world, it regenerates collagen, tightens and tones the skin, improves the appearance of cellulite and reduces body circumference. Three Polar Technology is used to simultaneously heat deep and superficial layers. This focused, selective deep heating stimulates the body’s natural skin renewal process, tightening existing collagen fibers and augmenting new collagen generation. It also accelerates fat metabolism to cause fat cells to shrink, improving cellulite appearance and treating localized bulges and fat deposits in many areas of the body. Treatment provides immediate visual effect and a long-term result. The immediate visible effects are smoother, tightened appearance and texture – visible from the very first treatment. The long-term effects of the deep heating accelerate the metabolism of fibroblasts, which produce collage, augmenting new collagen generation.
    Newest Quadruple Radio Frequency is based on active’s BRF Technology (burst Repetition Frequency), combined with realtime continuous thermal skin monitoring. This technology provides treatment, is effective and has no side effect. Quadro Polar RF is designed to produces skin-tightening: it also removes unwanted fat and toxins. The new treatment is based on two RF effects: Fat cells drainage/breakage, skin rejuvenation and lifting. With RF energy, we can increase the metabolism of the connective tissues and break/shrink the fat cells trapped inside them resulting in a smooth, cellulite free skin. Quadro Polar RF penetration through the skin with a limited influence on the epidermis. This procedure is painless, pleasant: there is a feeling of warmth.
    Ultrasound Cavitation - “Liposuction without Liposuction” Cavitation implies the use of an appliance equipped with a hand piece which is placed on the skin, targeting fat deposits, so that the fat cells are dissolved by using special manipulation technique. Over a more or less short period of time, cavitation allows to get amazing results such as the reduction of total removal of cellulite and fat in specific areas. This is exactly what Re-Age offers to its clients.

    Abstract:

    Colostrum is the first secretion product of mammary gland after birth and represents a natural source of vitamins, immunoglobulin, cytokines, hormones, and growth factors. All these factors stimulate tissues turnover, regulate energetic metabolism and strengthen the immune system. For these beneficial features, colostrum has been traditionally used to treat several diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and bacterial infections. Bovine colostrum promotes growth and migration of both epithelial and mesenchymal cells. Moreover, the mitogenic capacity of bovine colostrum on human keratinocytes has been demonstrated. The combination of growth factors and active molecules contained in colostrum makes it an efficient natural product able to improve wound healing. Furthermore, recent experimental data show the association of new hair follicles to the spontaneous wound healing process. Bovine colostrum composition has been only partially defined. However, some elements are known to be contained also in platelet rich plasma (PRP), which represent one of the most recent and effective tool to counteract androgenetic alopecia.Based on the above hypothesis described, the new cosmetic ingredient RTF-1 (bovine colostrum) may favor the renewal of hair follicles on glabrous skin areas and may represent a useful natural presidium against androgenetic alopecia. Will be discussed the results of in vitro and clinical studies of this new active ingredient.

    Abstract:

    Tinea capitis is a common infection occurring predominantly in prepubertal children. Although infection in adults can occur, it is considered as a rare condition. There are different kind of infections that can affect scalp and hair. Microsporum and Trichophyton species are the aetiologicala gents of tinea capitis. The most common causative fungi are T. tonsurans and M. canis. Tinea capitis is diagnosed by its appearance and the results of an examination of a sample of plucked hairs or of hairs and scale from the scalp. Though chronic forms of dermatophytias often stay overlooked; and also malassezia influence is underestimated as it is usually seen as saprophyte. If left untreated, tinea capitis may cause permanent hair loss and scarring. In our clinical investigation we found out a lot of cases of infection and treated patients with antimicotical therapy to clean infection. The findings after treatment was improvement in hair quality and volume, disappearance of itchy conditions, decrease in symptoms of seborrhea and general improvement in feelings of patient. Obvious improvement in hair quality and volume was seen in young adults less than 30 years old with early symptoms of androgenetic alopecia.

    Conclusion:

    Influence of malassezia yeasts is underestimated and most probably it has quite high involvement in cause of hair loss. It is needed to do further investigation to prove this statement in trichological practice.

    Abstract:

    World have been sophisticated with the innovation of it. It has been done by human. Human natures are so developed and incomparable. Their intellectuality world become the lightest in every aspect, for being advanced in the world; it itself cannot perform because the world have only four elements which refer to earth, water, wind and fire. All of those four things inception and orthodox are erecting up from these four elements with the intention of the being. Among the so many things cosmetic is most one has been used. There are numerous types of cosmetic which are used by people in this world. Cosmetic comes from several sources. The source can be from natural, oil, seeds, etc. Cosmetic can make a person aesthetic and happy, good appearance and nice but similarly it can destroy one’s life. Cosmetic can cause breast cancer, ulcer, etc. most of the patient, we can see in several hospitals or clinic; are suffering from various diseases due to cosmetics. The conservative treatment for the breast cancer and external ulcer for what they need for surgical treatment by the doctors. It is required to do with proper manner. Most of the people they need to have a clinical operation to cure from these diseases, but very rarely they get cured from this disease. The authors classify these squeal into three types: 1. Unsymmetricalism, 2. Partiality of open conversation and 3. The major deformity is reluctant of discussion about part of the injured body which is required for proper treatment. Very less patient discusses about the part of the body rest of them hide from doctors. Most of the patient needs underwent surgery from irradiation. Most of the people have satisfied with the cosmetic result. Some patients are treated by various technical terms such as implants, mammaplasty, and abdominal flap. Only few patients are satisfied about the using cosmetic influences. Most of the people even don’t know how to use the cosmetics in their way of using. It is because of lack of knowledge about applying cosmetics. Although they do not get the immediate result of it, but later on they get it back. This classification is a valuable guide for technique selection. Cosmetics should be avoided to be out of getting attracted by cancer, ulcer etc, because they are mainly postoperative, optimal treatment should be prevented by performing immediate remodeling of the treated part before radiotherapy. This pleads for integration of plastic surgical techniques at the time of the original lumpectomy, thus reducing the need for delayed reconstructive surgery.
