[PURPOSE] To describe a novel technique of tragal cartilage contouring during facelift surgery and evaluate its effectiveness in preserving tragal contour and preventing postoperative tragal deformities. [METHODS] A retrospective chart rev…

[BACKGROUND] This study aimed to objectively compare postoperative edema between subperichondrial and sub-SMAS dissection planes by assessing skin thickness via ultrasonography. [METHODS] Forty-four patients undergoing rhinoplasty were ran…

This article presents a comprehensive, anatomically precise approach to deep plane facelift surgery in male patients, a demographic with increasing interest in facial rejuvenation but historically underserved by techniques optimized for fem…

Perceived age is an objective surrogate for facial rejuvenation, but comparative evidence across facelift techniques using human and AI raters is limited.This trial assessed whether facelift techniques differ in rejuvenation effect and whet…

[BACKGROUND] Facial aging is a multifactorial process that results from deflation and descent of facial soft tissue. Modern deep layer face-lift techniques aim to restore a youthful facial shape by using the superficial musculoaponeurotic s…

Facelift procedures have undergone rapid evolution in the last century, with initially subcutaneous techniques now shifting to superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) manipulation and deep plane techniques, along with the popularizatio…

Simultaneous rhytidectomy and laser resurfacing has become a common single-stage facial rejuvenation technique. However, concerns remain, particularly with photothermal injury to undermined tissue. This is the first methodologically robust …

The aim of this manuscript was to describe a surgical technique to modify Tapia's flap for malar volume enhancement, to describe the results of an anatomical study of the transverse facial artery, and to present the results of a retrospecti…

[RATIONALE] Autologous fat grafting is a widely used technique for facial contour restoration and is generally considered safe. Nevertheless, delayed inflammatory reactions may occur and, in rare instances, require surgical intervention. Ex…

The non-surgical rhinoplasty is presented as safe by majority of authors, with very rare risk of vision loss and skin necrosis. Publications explain that by injecting with cannulas against the bone and cartilage, complications are really re…

[OBJECTIVE] Nasal tip hypertrophy is common in Asians, and surgical refinement usually relies on tip grafts or structural implants. For patients who refuse any implant and whose bulbous tip is mainly caused by excessive soft tissue rather t…

[BACKGROUND] Postoperative hematoma remains one of the most significant complications in rhytidectomy, with reported rates up to 15%. This study presents a structured, experience-based protocol for hematoma prevention, developed over 40 yea…

In recent years, endoscopic upper and midface rejuvenation techniques have advanced dramatically with the advent of endoscopic dissection in the sub-SMAS plane. The temporal tunnel approach exploits this tissue plane in the midface via a sm…

The footplates of the medial crura are relevant structures that play an important role in the columella and nostril sill design. They also work as a connection between the nasal and oral muscles, as the insertion of the superficial orbicula…

[BACKGROUND] A clear understanding of the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) perfusion during extended SMAS rhytidectomy is helpful for surgical planning and for elucidating the structural characteristics of the SMAS. [OBJECTIVES…

[INTRODUCTION] Face and neck lifting is the cornerstone in the treatment of the lower third of the face and the neck but, as classically described, it has not a significant impact on the middle third, and fails to rejuvenate the upper third…

[BACKGROUND] A novel minimally invasive surgical technique is proposed to treat the contour of the lower face, jowls and upper neck. The procedure is mainly used in patients who wish to undergo less extended surgery, with minimal scarring a…

[BACKGROUND] Dermal filler injection can restore facial volume and improve contour; however, the precise mechanism underlying its lifting effect remains insufficiently characterized. This study explores how targeted filler placement within …

: According to the PRISMA guidelines, this meta-analysis evaluates the outcomes of deep Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System (SMAS) lift versus Minimal Access Cranial Suspension (MACS) lift techniques in facelift surgery. : We reviewed lit…

[BACKGROUND] Thread lifting is considered a relatively noninvasive and effective treatment for facial rejuvenation compared to traditional facelift surgery. However, no consensus exists on anatomically favorable insertion layer for threads …
