26. Volume Loss
• Restoring volume by plumping up an area that
has deflated over time
• Filler treatment
– Lasts 9 to 15 months
– $599 to $1,495

Note: Volume injected depends on patient, location, and degree of correction required.
92. Breast Implants
• Saline Filled
– Small incision
– Some ability to adjust
volume
– Ruptures obvious - deflation
• Gel (silicone) Filled
– Incision related to implant size
– Ruptures silently
94. Breast Reconstruction
• After cancer removal the breast may be
partially or completely altered.
• Reconstruction may be done at the time of
the removal or at anytime thereafter.
• There are a variety of surgical options that can
correct these deformities.
• The other breast can also be adjusted to
match.
95. Hand Surgery
• Soft tissue of the hand
– Tendon repair
– Ganglion cysts
– Skin contracture
– Trigger finger
• Nerve release
– Endoscopic carpal tunnel release
– Ulnar nerve transposition
98. Varicose Vein Treatments
• Endovenous Radiofrequency Ablation
• Has replaced stripping
– Local anesthetic
– In-office
– No significant activity restrictions or pain
99. Micro or Stab Phlebectomy
Pre-treatment: Varicose anterior
accessory saphenous vein
Post-treatment: Very minimal
incision sites
100. Sclerotherapy
• Injection of material to injure vessel
causing fibrosis
• Advantages
– Short office procedure
– Effective
– Can be redone
• Disadvantages
– Allergy
– Ulceration
– Pigmentation
101. Edema and Hyperpigmentation
• Lower leg edema and
hyperpigmentation are
common presentations with
venous insufficiency.
• CEAP 4 - Edema and skin
changes from venous
disease.

102. Stasis Dermatitis
• Stasis dermatitis appears as
itchy, scaly patches on the
lower extremities
• Hyperpigmentation occurs as
a result of red blood cell
extravasation and hemosiderin
deposition
• CEAP 4 - skin changes from
venous disease
103. Progression of Venous Stasis
• Poor skin nutrition and
oxygenation
• Subcutaneous fat necrosis
– Lipodermatosclerosis
– CEAP 6 - Venous stasis
ulceration
• Will recur unless underlying
venous insufficiency is
treated

These pre- and post-treatment photos show a very good outcome
Varicose veins are a common local condition that causes edema and skin discoloration. - These conditions can cause inadequate return of blood to the heart. - The resulting increased back-pressure in the veins forces fluid to leak into the interstitial tissue spaces, where the retained excess fluid is recognized as edema. - Hyperpigmentation occurs as a result of underlying vein disease and is a very common finding with Stage II venous insufficiency.

Stasis dermatitis has an estimated prevalence of 6% to 7% in adults over the age of 50. In the United States, this is thought to be between 6 and 7 million people. [Source: http://circ.ahajournals.org/cgi/content/full/111/18/2398]
Lipodermatosclerosis: hardening of the legs in patients with venous insufficiency. It is characterized by induration, hyperpigmentation, and depression of the skin. A venous ulcer is a chronic defect in the skin that fails to heal spontaneously, and is caused by chronic venous disease
