“…Morphology-wise, older skin shows dermal atrophy with less perfusion, less elastic fibers and less Meissner and Vater Pacini bodies, resulting in a lower tactile and pressure sensibility [30,31]. These factors cause decreased tolerance of shear forces and tension taking place in an abdominoplasty.…”

(1) Background: Postoperative pain is a frequently underestimated complication significantly influencing surgical outcome and patient satisfaction. While abdominoplasty is one of the most commonly performed plastic surgery procedures, studies investigating postoperative pain are limited in current literature. (2) Methods: In this prospective study, 55 subjects who underwent horizontal abdominoplasty were included. Pain assessment was performed by using the standardized questionnaire of the Benchmark Quality Assurance in Postoperative Pain Management (QUIPS). Surgical, process and outcome parameters were then used for subgroup analysis. (3) Results: We found a significantly decreased minimal pain level in patients with high resection weight compared to the low resection weight group (p = 0.01 *). Additionally, Spearman correlation shows significant negative correlation between resection weight and the parameter “Minimal pain since surgery” (rs = −0.332; p = 0.013). Furthermore, average mood is impaired in the low weight resection group, indicating a statistical tendency (p = 0.06 and a Χ2 = 3.56). We found statistically significant higher maximum reported pain scores (rs = 0.271; p = 0.045) in elderly patients. Patients with shorter surgery showed a statistically significant (Χ2 = 4.61, p = 0.03) increased claim for painkillers. Moreover, “mood impairment after surgery” shows a dramatic trend to be enhanced in the group with shorter OP duration (Χ2 = 3.56, p = 0.06). (4) Conclusions: While QUIPS has proven to be a useful tool for the evaluation of postoperative pain therapy after abdominoplasty, only continuous re-evaluation of pain therapy is a prerequisite for constant improvement of postoperative pain management and may be the first approach to develop a procedure-specific pain guideline for abdominoplasty. Despite a high satisfaction score, we detected a subpopulation with inadequate pain management in elderly patients, patients with low resection weight and a short duration of surgery.

In the last few decades, there has been a substantial increase in the population of people over 60 years of age. Most of them maintain a good general health and physical activity and fitness. For these individuals there is a good number of dermatologic procedures, medications, and cosmetics that can be prescribed to improve the aspect of skin aging, providing an improvement in their self-esteem and quality of life as a result of their better look. We will discuss the mechanisms of skin aging, and the procedures and substances used to minimize its deleterious effects, such as sunscreens, estrogens, chemical peels, toxin botulinum, fillers and surgical procedures, among others. The use of makeup and the adverse reactions to cosmetics will also be mentioned.

For the past 10 years the alfa-hydroxyacids and the bovine collagen injection have been used for peeling and the correction of multiple skin diseases. Until now, such progressive achievement has occurred in separate parallels just like the indications that have been held distinct. However, the studies carried out in order to clarify the mechanical action of the two substances have shown a common and fundamental denominator: the stimulation of synthesis of the new collagen in the patient's skin. On the basis of these results and the existence of common clinical indications of the use of glycolic acid and collagen, the authors have worked out a protocol involving a combined and contemporary application in progressive steps. They developed the rationales of such protocol and analyzed the results of its application on a number of carefully selected patients for a clinical comparison and on a sample of rats for a histological comparison. They have concluded that the contemporary use of glycolic acid and bovine collagen is a simple and safe method whose synergy action leads to more intense and long-lasting effects than the ones observed in the isolated application of the two substances. The authors have also obtained interesting and significant histological results.
