Favre-Racouchot disease is characterized by diffuse yellowish hue with presence of large, open, black comedones, nodules and cysts associated with the clinical signs of actinically damaged and atrophic skin. Sun exposure, smoking, and therapeutic radiation are considered important risk factors. Pathogenesis of the disease includes loss of functional elastic tissue network and reduction of tensile strength, distension of the infundibular canal of the seba-ceous follicles and retention of sebum with consequent comedones formation. Dermatoscopy showed yellowish lobular like structures with rare peripheral telangiectasia. Combining medical and surgical therapy is the best approach.

The application of magnification has revolutionized microvascular and reconstructive surgery. Tissue visualization is enhanced, suture placement will be easier. Magnification is achieved using binocularloupes, microscopes. Clip on magnifying lens is innovative method of achieving magnification using smart phone. It is cost effective, easy to use and easy to carry. It can be fitted to mobile phone which is readily available. Capturing of photos and video recording of the procedure can be done by using this method, which is not available with binocular loupe and microscope. Using this technique simple procedure like suture removal, identification of skin lesions can be done in a better way. Keywords: Clip on Magnifying Lens; Plastic Surgery; Suture Removal; Skin Lesions.
