[Plastic surgery in the aged: recent results and perspectives]

Among indications of cosmetic surgery in the aged, particularly face lifting, reductive and reconstructive mammoplasty (e.g. after mammectomy due to malignancies), and abdominoplasty were particularly mentioned. Among the operations of reconstructive surgery, above all reparation after removal of benign (e.g. rhinophyma) and malignant tumors and for pressure sores and ulcers due to burns and radiodermatitis was emphasized.
