RESUMO
Surgery is the generally accepted treatment for rhinophyma. Problems associated with standard therapy include moderately profuse hemorrhage impairing accurate removal, and some difficulty in providing smooth demarcation between the rhinophyma and the surrounding tissue. Four patients with rhinophyma have been successfully treated with the carbon dioxide laser. Satisfactory cosmetic results were achieved in all cases with excellent hemostasis and minimal morbidity. Complete healing takes three to four weeks, which is similar to conventional methods.

In a retrospective study of 41 infected breasts following the insertion of implants, a high incidence of postoperative hematoma was noted. When infection occurred, cultures usually demonstrated the causative organism to be Staphylococcus aureus. Treatment by conservative drainage and vigorous antibiotics was generally successful in salvaging those implants which had been inserted through an areolar incision for simple augmentation, or under the pectoralis muscle (or a dermal pedicle) after a subcutaneous mastectomy. Those patients whose augmentations had been done through an inframammary incision, or whose implant after a subcutaneous mastectomy was under the skin flap, had a statistically higher incidence of implant loss. Most breasts will salvaged implants became firm.
