Abstract

Postoperative ptosis of the soft tissues of the face after subperiosteal exposure of midfacial fractures may result in loss of zygomatic projection due to malposition of the soft-tissue envelope with respect to the underlying skeleton. Resuspension of the soft tissues of the face to their preinjury position has previously been suggested to alleviate this problem. We present a modification of our original technique, which uses suture anchors to simplify this procedure.
