Deficiencies about the base of the neck and the shoulders are very commonly found in women. These defects are usually bilateral, except in rare cases. The much-desired contour is readily restored by the subcutaneous-injection method, and since the technic for one part is the same as for the whole there is no need to dilate specifically upon the treatment of each part. The author advocates the injection of cold sterile white vaselin only, for the restoration of the contour about the neck, anterior and posterior shoulder, and the mammæ, except in the unilateral correction of a flattening of the breast following amputation for the removal of neoplasms, when the mixture of white vaselin and paraffin should be used, owing to the tenseness of the skin following the excision of a large part of the integument covering the diseased gland. In the restoration of the contour about the neck and shoulders it is well for the surgeon to familiarize himself thoroughly with the superficial veins of the parts, since the vessels here are larger, and the introduction of foreign matter into them is liable to lead to serious and even fatal results. The injections should never be made until the operator has assured himself of the fact that a vessel has not been entered into, and then only should a small quantity of the mass—i. e., about two or three drams—be injected at one point. The easiest mode of introducing the needle is to pinch up the skin between the fingers of one hand, introducing the needle into the fold thus raised. As the mass is injected the skin should be raised by aid of the needle, so as to allow all the immediate room possible for its reception. The mass injected is at once molded down flat with the thumb or forefinger. A number of such injections may be made at both sides at the one sitting. The ethyl-chlorid spray may be employed to render the parts less painful. At no time should the entire shoulders be filled at one sitting, for fear that the reaction may be severe or that for any unforeseen cause infection results which would in such instance be indeed difficult of treatment, eventually leaving the parts scarred and unsightly. Nor should the mass be injected intracutaneously, a fault sometimes observed about the base line of the neck anteriorly and laterally where the operator has been timid in avoiding the exterior and anterior jugular veins. Such injections invariably result in abscess, or when not extensive enough to cause necrosis the skin assumes a more or less permanent red or yellow discoloration over the site so injected. The treatment for the partial or total removal of such spots has been referred to. In the average case of contour restoration of the shoulders about eight sittings are required, two sittings being given each week, and as many injections made as is deemed necessary or advisable at each.
