“…The other treatments are unclear efficacy, although there have been some case reports proving improvement of the general sagging condition after receiving those treatments. By searching PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Web of Science, Wanfang, HowNet, Weipu, and other databases, using “Congenital Cutis Laxa” and (or) “surgical treatment” and other keywords to search related pieces of literature, we included 5 case reports ( 3 , 9 , 19 – 21 ) on the surgical treatment of CCL. Those 5 case reports presented 7 patients of CCL who had received different kinds of rhytidectomy.…”

Cutis Laxa is a rare connective tissue disease featuring inelastic and saggy skin. It is thought that plastic surgery might be the most effective treatment, while the previous pieces of literature on the surgical treatment for Cutis Laxa complained of the recurrence. We report a patient of Congenital Cutis Laxa who has received systematic and sequential treatment based on plastic surgery. The patient is content with the effect of treatment, and there are no signs of recurrence after 5 months. By referring to relevant pieces of literature, we evaluate the clinical manifestations and diagnosis of the disease. A multi-step, systematic, and sequential treatment is recommended for the treatment of Congenital Cutis Laxa.

Acquired Cutis Laxa on the Upper Eyelids and Earlobes: A Case Report and Literature Review

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Acquired cutis laxa is a rare disease. Owing to few reports on the condition, no statistical data have been produced. Cutis laxa is characterized by drooping skin, caused by decreased levels of dermal elastin, leading to reduced skin elasticity. The disease usually emerges on the neck or trunk and spreads throughout the body; however, it rarely involves the extremities.2 Moreover, cases localized to the face are rare. The objective of this clinical case report was to highlight this unusual disease in a 24-year-old female, with localization on the face and neck. The patient underwent surgery for treatment of bilateral ear lobe and eyelid skin laxity.

“…Tas et al . [11] reported their experience in a child with cutis laxa by oculoplasty with Tripier flap and had a satisfactory postoperative result at the end of 1 year. They also suggested the differentiation of the condition from other connective tissue disorders such as Ehlers–Danlos syndrome and pseudoxanthoma elasticum by a skin biopsy as they are associated with a poor outcome following surgical intervention.…”

Acquired localized cutis laxa: A case report and the role of plastic surgery

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Cutis laxa is an uncommon connective tissue disorder affecting the elastin fibers leading to lax and pendulous skin and in generalized form can present with systemic involvement. Congenital cutis laxa is common in comparison to acquired cutis laxa and has varied inheritance patterns. Treatment is chiefly observation in congenital cutis laxa, and there is a paucity of literature on surgical management in acquired cutis laxa. We report a rare case of acquired localized cutis laxa with a review of literature on the role of plastic surgery in this condition.
