Dermal substitution in acute burns and reconstructive surgery: a subjective and objective long-term follow-up.

abstract：:A method for measuring skin removed during rhytidectomy is presented based on analysis of 50 female patients. More skin was removed in primary rhytidectomies than in subsequent ones. Younger patients, aged 30 to 39 years, had measurably more skin removed than any other group between 40 and 69. The amounts of skin remo...
