Follow-up study of microsurgical treatment of linear facial wrinkles
1Hamamatsu Clinic of Dermatologic Surgery, Japan.
Abstract
Background:
A new microsurgical technique for the removal of facial wrinkles, first reported in this journal, has been further researched.
Methods:
The technique consists of two steps, both performed under a microscope: 1) microsurgical peeling of tissue surrounding a linear wrinkle, and 2) direct excision and closure of the wrinkle.
Results:
Wrinkles were effectively diminished in 61 patients and the results, despite occasional occurrence of minor hypopigmentation and/or scarring, were satisfactory and long-lasting.
