Wide hard palate defects include congenital and acquired defects that are six square centimeters or larger in size. Obturator prostheses and autologous soft tissue transfers have been used to reconstruct palatal defects. This study aims to …

The modalities of the esthetic treatment of cutis laxa (CL) patients have rarely been discussed. Here, the authors present 4 CL rhytidectomy cases. The surgery method was designed based on the traditional full-incision face-lift technique c…

Ear deformities after rhytidectomy are not uncommon and have a significant impact on cosmetic success. We postulate the use of horizontal mattress suspension sutures in the anterior face anchored to the deep temporalis fascia (DTF) during r…

[BACKGROUND] Traditional middle and lower facelifts are not suitable for patients with mild skin laxity or who wish to avoid incision scars. [OBJECTIVE] We present the stab access fascia suspension lift (SAFS-lift) technique, which does no…

[BACKGROUND] Rhytidectomies are performed to rejuvenate the aging face. Various techniques exist to achieve soft-tissue elevation and skin tightening. This study analyzes three common face-lift techniques: skin-only, superficial musculoapon…

The safety and effectiveness of facial cosmetic surgery procedures are dependent on detailed 3D understanding of the complex surgical anatomy of the face. Traditional, small sample size anatomical dissection studies have limitations in prov…

In this study, the authors report the experience of extended superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) face-lift with the vertical vector in Asian ethnicity and investigate the 3-dimensional change of facial contour. A total of 32 patien…

Asian anatomy and concepts of beauty differ from whites. Traditional SMAS face-lifts are developed based on a white patient population and not ideal to achieve the aesthetic goals of Asian patients. The characteristics of the ideal facial r…

[BACKGROUND] Aesthetic facial surgeries historically rely on subjective analysis in determining success; this limits objective comparison of surgical outcomes. [OBJECTIVES] This case study exemplifies the use of an artificial intelligence …

The facelift remains the gold standard for rejuvenating the aging face. Many surgical techniques exist in the surgeon's armamentarium that vary based on scar burden, extent of skin undermining, and manipulation of the superficial musculoapo…

Lifting the temporal and mid-face areas creates a very dynamic change in the facial appearance and different planes of dissection were described before. In this article, a new plane of dissection is described which allows the surgeon to per…

Over the past four decades, the senior author has evolved and perfected his preferred method for face and neck lifting, the extended superficial musculoaponeurotic system deep plane rhytidectomy, and submentoplasty. With this procedure, the…

The attenuation of retaining ligaments with aging leads to downward displacement of facial fat compartments and is responsible for many of the stigmata that occur with aging. The zygomatic cutaneous and masseteric cutaneous ligaments preven…

Facelift techniques can be classified according to the depth and extent of the dissection applied. Imbrication and plication of the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) referred to as "SMAS lifts" or "classical facelifts" are the mo…

Deep-plane rhytidectomy, first described by Skoog, has had a resurgence in popularity and is in high demand today. We describe anatomical findings that establish the presence of a true deep fascia in the midface, we named as Chiara's fascia…

It is crucial for a facelift surgeon to have a comprehensive understanding of ageing-related changes on the volume, elasticity, and relative position of various facial tissues and layers. These changes lead to an alteration in the surface t…

The traditional deep plane and "low" cheek superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) flaps elevated below the zygomatic arch suffer the drawback that they cannot, by design, exert an effect on tissues of the midface and infra-orbital reg…

The subperiosteal midface lift is a powerful tool that allows the surgeon to reposition the SOOF and malar fat pad in a vertical direction. Additionally, it significantly softens deep nasolabial folds. Its effect, however, is minimal with r…

[OBJECTIVE] Parotidectomy is the main treatment for parotid tumours, but its functional and aesthetic sequelae can be very disturbing for patients. [METHODS] 15 patients underwent total conservative parotidectomy, harvesting of a superfici…

[BACKGROUND] Retaining ligaments must be fully released for effective soft-tissue mobilization during sub-superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) facelifts. Standard deep temporal fascia and lateral SMAS fixation techniques may fail ea…
