SPECIFIC CLASSIFICATION FOR THE EMPLOYMENT AND INDICATION OF HYDROCARBON PROTHESES ABOUT THE FACE

Reference has been made heretofore to the general indications for which subcutaneous injections of paraffin or its compounds may be employed. With the object of systematizing such indications and to further bring out the practicability and judicious use of the method under consideration the author submits the following tabulated arrangement, with the hope that it may lead to a more concise and better knowledge of the possibilities within the reach of the plastic or cosmetic surgeon.
