표재성근건막계 SMAS

[INTRODUCTION] There remains a lack of standards in facial rejuvenation procedures, which may be attributed to the subjective measures used to determine surgical outcomes and success. The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of machine…

In facelift surgery, many surgeons tend to choose one superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) technique over another. SMAS plication augments tissue using folding, which is very useful in deflated faces. In heavy faces, SMAS-ectomy and…

The periorbital area tends to be the first and most visible facial part where senility occurs and therefore is of great concern. Various blepharoplasty incisions are applied to correct upper eyelid dermatochalasis. In this study, we applied…

[BACKGROUND] Reoperative face lift can be technically more demanding than primary face lift because of altered anatomy and scarred tissue plane. This study was carried out to analyze the outcome of reoperative face lift using sub-superficia…

[BACKGROUND] The aging face is characterized by skin laxity and volume loss. Attenuation of facial retaining ligaments significantly contributes to skin sagginess and soft tissue volume loss. [AIMS] We designed a prospective cohort study t…

Strong command of facial anatomy is paramount for all facelift surgeons. A comprehensive understanding of how aging impacts facial anatomy is equally important for effective preoperative evaluation of the patient undergoing facelift surgery…

Although IR thermography is widely used in medical diagnostics, there are no reports that describe the use of IR thermography in the evaluation of post-plastic-surgery regeneration processes. The aim of the study was to evaluate the potenti…

[BACKGROUND] The composite face lift is becoming increasingly popular following recent advances in understanding of facial anatomy that enable safe sub-superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) dissection. This article presents the autho…

[BACKGROUND] Facelift continues to be one of the most common aesthetic procedures performed in the United States. Although there exist many techniques and variations, superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) manipulation, by way of plic…

[BACKGROUND AND AIM] Despite several techniques are proposed, treatment of nasolabial folds is often challenging. During rejuvenation procedures, the SMAS could be redraped or partially resected during the procedure. The aim of this study i…

[BACKGROUND] The midface has been a difficult zone to manage in rejuvenating surgeries. The major challenge for midface lift is to achieve extensive dissection and elevate the composite tissues en bloc through minimal incisions. [METHODS] …

Facelift surgery has become a beautifully predictable, safe, and extremely effective operation. Our patients can expect natural and long-lasting results as a direct outcome of our improved understanding and applications of surgical facial a…

Purse string sutures in superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) plication facelifts may cause technique-related problems, such as soft tissue deformities, dimpling, and bulkiness inside and between the independent sutures. Therefore, t…

Although previous publications have reviewed face and necklift anatomy and technique from different perspectives, seldom were the most relevant anatomical details and widely practiced techniques comprehensively summarized in a single work. …

[BACKGROUND] The improvement of nasolabial folds by either lateral superficial musculoaponeurotic system rhytidectomy or minimal access cranial suspension lift alone is commonly performed, but patient satisfaction is often limited in East A…

[BACKGROUND] Patients desire facelifting procedures to look younger, refreshed, and attractive. Unfortunately, there are few objective studies assessing the success of types of facelift procedures and ancillary techniques. [OBJECTIVES] The…

Physicians using neuromodulators need to develop an in-depth and holistic understanding of the facial musculature as a single, large, functional structure that does not work in isolation. In this Special Topic, I review the anatomy of the c…

[BACKGROUND] Patients desire face-lifting procedures primarily to appear younger, more refreshed, and attractive. Because there are few objective studies assessing the success of face-lift surgery, the authors used artificial intelligence, …

The thread lift procedure is a minimally invasive alternative to facelift surgery. The hanging point, which the terminal end of the thread is hooked into, is an important component. If it is loose and cannot stabilize the passage when the i…

[BACKGROUND] Subcutaneous elevation of the skin has remained a key component in all facelift techniques. [OBJECTIVES] The aim of this preliminary report was to introduce the ABC facelift as a 3-step method addressing photodamage, soft tiss…
