Introduction. During a classical dermotension operation usually skin incision is usually performed, a cellulocutaneous flap is mobilized, i.e. a subcutaneous pocket is created wherein an expander is inserted. Then the wound is closed and the process of filling the elastic bulb begins after the stage of stable wound cicatrization being reached. Material and Methods. A new dermotension method is proposed, which is essentially a creation of a subcutaneous cavity by means of subcutaneous dissection without incisions, through punctures, with subsequent gradual stretching of the skin area with the help of the gel component. Results. Since 1995 the gel dermotension method has been applied in 33 cases to the areas of the face, upper/lower limbs and the trunk of the body. The operations were performed effortlessly and quickly occasionally followed by a slight post-operational syndrome noticed. The dermotension process began on the first day. A sound plastic material thus achieved was used for its designated purpose on the second stage. Conclusions. The presented method is cost-effective, the first stage is minimally invasive while the dermotension process is accelerated by 12 to 14 days.
