Labiaplasty had a positive impact on sexual functioning of the study population.

When gluteoplasty is performed utilizing a systematic strategy based on bone anatomy references, it can be a predictable procedure with reproducible results and minimal complications.

Since the 1970s, surgical procedures on platysma muscle, aiming to achieve better results in face lifting, became popular and turned out to be an important surgical step for the plastic surgeon. Many plastic surgeons have contributed to the topic throughout these years, as several articles on the subject have been published. Articles dealing with platysma muscle still bring great interest among plastic surgeons. My concern with platysma muscle began in the mid-1970s and since then has grown continuously. I have steadily been studying the importance of the platysma muscle in the surgeries for facial rejuvenation, involving its anatomy, the techniques proposed, the results obtained, the recommendations for the best surgical procedure for each patient, and the complications. My experience and studies regarding platysma muscle, and the contributions I have brought into this field, are thoroughly described and discussed in this article.

This article discusses the new trends in lower blepharoplasty. Many different techniques have been described for the treatment of lower lid deformities, some favoring the transconjunctival approach that avoids touching the orbicularis oculi muscle, others recommending the muscle cutaneous flap. In some cases, maintenance of the fat is indicated, whereas in others its removal is recommended. To clarify such divergences, the author performed 100 blepharoplasties. The transconjunctival approach was performed with or without skin removal and with or without canthopexy, and the muscle cutaneous flap method was performed with or without fat removal and with or without canthopexy. The patients were followed up and observed for 6 months. The preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative periods were analyzed. The patient, the surgeon, and a third person evaluated the results. Preoperative and postoperative photographs illustrate this article.
