We discuss from experience of more than a hundred cases and highlight not only the important technical aspects of the procedure but also the importance of pre-operative assessment and the avoidance of complications.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"540\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-59 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/charlesnduka.co.uk\/plastic-surgery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/research05.jpg\" alt=\"research05\" srcset=\"https:\/\/charlesnduka.co.uk\/plastic-surgery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/research05.jpg 540w, https:\/\/charlesnduka.co.uk\/plastic-surgery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/research05-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/charlesnduka.co.uk\/plastic-surgery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/research05-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nduka C, Hallam MJ, Labbe D.
