Author introduced materials: the shape of pocket, composition of pocket and elastomer shell; and techniques of breast augmentation including incision, implant pocket placement, post-operation care and complications. Breast augmentation by silicone implants resolves basically the needs of aesthetic aspect, emancipates women by erasing complexes of anatomical defects. Lack of information about new techniques and incorrect indications will give bad aesthetic consequences for patients, although breast augmentation is a specific surgery in plastic surgery

16 patients were benefited by a plastic surgery for burn scars on the zone of breast. 56% of these patients acquired the burn on the zone of breast before their puberty. 62% of subjects with the wounds on breast were interened by various techniques of plastic surgery in the period of completed development of the mamonary glands. The most indicated (64%) ones were classic techniques such as Z shape plastic surgery, skin thick autograph, localflap. Skin thick autograph can be used mainly in the cases of plastic surgery under the breast plica (28%). The techniques of tissue dilation is used only 16% of cases, the skin largy flap is used in 2 patients with the burn scars of skin and of mamonary glands. In each patients, 1 to 4 various techniques can be used according to the age and the form of injury

Botulinum toxin type A has been used in clinical practice to treat some myoneural disorders for more than four decades. However, until recently this toxin has been used for aesthetic purpose, to remove and improve wrinkles on the face - one sign of ageing process. The therapy using botulinum toxin gradually takes vital roles in aesthetic surgery because it is simple, with the little side effects and complications. The effectiveness of the treatment can obttain immediately after treatment without interventionsurgery

Artificial skin Integra - a biological membrane that could restore derma, is new material in treating burn wound and in many other specialties such as plastic surgery, orthopedics, and pediatrics. Integra was commonly used in cases deep burn on head and neck, hands. It speeds up formation new derma layers at implanted areas and the successful rate was high (95%), gives good results in functional and aesthetic aspects

The breast cancer accounted for the highest rate among cancers in women. In development countries, the plastic reconstruction after operations of breast cancer played an important role to help patients integrating into the normal life. In Vietnam, together with progresses in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer, the plastic reconstruction of breast is being considered and primarily applied in some professions.

This study was conducted in order to review the experience in the reconstruction of postburn head-neck deformities effect in Hµ Néi plastic surgery Centre between 1995 and 1997. 135 procedures were used to reconstruct postburn scar in 55 patients. All the patients had suffered deforming flame and chemical burns in the head and the neck. Some of the reconstructions ware essential procedures, such as eyelid ectropion, neck release by means of Z plastics, skin grafts, expanded flaps, local flaps, and free flaps... Reconstruction of some parts of face, head of aesthetic importance were the late elective procedures which can be performed after scar maturation.

The plastic reconstruction of defect in the head, neck and face played an important role in the rehabilitation and plastic recovery for patients suffered cancer in the head, neck and face. Some techniques and materials are being applied in the plastic reconstruction comprised the autologous cutaneous transplantation, local cutaneous transplantation, pedicular flaps, expanded flaps and artificial materials.

17 patients with scar due to the burn (77%) and congenital pigment in the head and face, ages of 1-44 received plastic surgeries in the National Institute of Burn of which facial lesion and head skin lesion due to many different causes. The results have shown that frontal skin stretch bags were suitable for local lesions. The head skin stretch bags with hair were suitable for the lesions in the adjacent region.

The method of tissue expansion overcame the disadvantages of traditional plastic reconstruction. The materials comprised the skin expansion bag, and empty bags for containing fluid. The indication of tissue expansion comprised covering of the defect of adjacent tissue, preparation for other operation and distribution as a free tissue flaps. The technique contraindicated for patients with mental disorder, previous radiated tissue, and position of expansion bag was adjacent with lesion of blood vessels and malignant tissues. The complication comprised the incision rupture, ulcerated skin necrosis, infection, malnutrition of skin had and explicit of expansion bag due to the excessive rapid pumping

14 cutaneous expansion package sets made by SEBBIN Laboratory (France) were used. Each set involved an expansion package that varying in size, shape and volume. Largest package is 400cc and smallest one is 100cc. These packages were applied to 8 patients. Among these, 2 patients applied 1 package and 6 patients applied 2 packages. The procedure was failed in two cases. 12% cases were covered by more than 90% of damaged surface, the quality of expanding flaps was ensured in both terms of hair density and direction. However, the scar quality of flaps is not good.
