The composite face-lift is a well-described, comprehensive facial rejuvenation technique that results in harmonious repositioning of all components of the aging face. It is distinguished by the superior-medial movement of the cheek and the septal reset maneuver. The composite rhytidectomy reverses the unbalanced vectors of the traditional face-lift in patients with the lateral sweep and may reestablish the youthful convexity in patients with hollow eyes.

Background: This study evaluates the efficacy of reverse and antegrade thread lifting vectors in conjunction with thread selection for correcting nasolabial folds and marionette lines, aiming to enhance treatment precision and effectiveness.
Methods: Three female patients aged 43, 48, and 53, presenting with primary concerns regarding nasolabial folds, underwent distinct treatment regimens utilizing various types of threads and vectors. Additionally, video demonstrations were recorded to showcase the procedural techniques employed in each case.
Increasing productivity by using smart gas for optimal management of the gas lift process in a cluster of wells.

In the face of the escalating global energy demand, the challenge lies in enhancing the extraction of oil from low-pressure underground reservoirs. The conventional artificial gas lift method is constrained by the limited availability of high-pressure gas for injection, which is essential for reducing hydrostatic bottom hole pressure and facilitating fluid transfer to the surface. This study proposes a novel 'smart gas' concept, which involves injecting a gas mixture with an optimized fraction of CO and N into each well.

I converted to the extended deep plane facelift and neck lift with a shorter skin flap elevation in the face to achieve a more complete release of the facial ligaments to obtain more mobilization of the skin/superficial musculoaponeurotic system composite flap, and a more medial suspension resulting in improved correction of the midface, nasolabial fold, marionette fold and jowl. Treatment of the deep neck structures allowed for more refinement of the submentum in the deep neck lift procedures as well. In this article, we shall review the surgical technique of the deep plane facelift and neck lift as well as postoperative management pearls, the management of complications from the procedure, and the incorporation of ancillary procedures.

Background: Facial rejuvenation procedures have been in existence for over a century. Since its first introduction, it improved anatomical understanding and clinical implications and gave rise to numerous techniques and re-ideations of the original face-lift. The increase in popularity of face-lift procedures attracts patients of various ages and with different medical comorbidities.

Article Synopsis
- - The review examines the use of thread lifting materials, which are different from conventional sutures, in aesthetic treatments, focusing on their composition, function, and effectiveness.
- - It discusses the historical development of these materials, highlighting the use of cog threads for tissue manipulation prior to their adoption in plastic surgery.
- - The findings reveal that both absorbable and non-absorbable threads have varying effectiveness, and emphasize the need for careful evaluation of factors beyond just longevity when selecting threads for lifting procedures.
