Possibilities of deformation of soft tissues in different areas of the head during uniaxial stretching

Abstract

With the rapid development of plastic and reconstructive surgery, scientific research on the improvement of surgical methods is practically not carried out in Ukraine, since they mean experiments, the creation of control groups and their comprehensive analysis. All modern methods of plastic reconstructive and aesthetic sur-gery are aimed at mobilization, i.e. at deformation (stretching and relaxation) of flaps of different thickness with their detachment from underlying tissues. At the same time, there were practically no studies on the substantiation of plastic surgery techniques, in which individual layers of soft tissues of the head are peeled off in a limited area or kept intact. Purpose: to determine the degree of deformation of soft tissues in different areas of the head depending on its shape, patient’s age, gender and time of deformation and to establish areas with the same characteristics re-garding their deformation.
