Unlabelled: The modified rhytidectomy incision is an alternative to the classic cervicomastoidfacial approach for parotid surgery, camouflaging the scar in barely visible areas, resulting in better cosmesis. However, there are very few studies comparing the incidence of complications and functional results of patients submitted to parotidectomy through these two different approaches.
Objective: Compare the incidence of complications and functional results of patients with benign parotid neoplasms submitted to surgery through the classical incision versus the modified rhytidectomy approach.
Method: Retrospective cohort study evaluating the demographics, surgical and post-operative characteristics of an equally distributed group of sixty patients submitted to parotidectomy via cervicomastoidfacial incision or modified rhytidectomy approach.
Results: There were no significant differences in complications rates and functional results between the groups, except for a lower incidence of early facial movement dysfunction for the modified rhytidectomy approach - which was 86% lower in this group of patients.
Conclusion: Modified rhytidectomy incision has shown comparable complication rates to those of the classic approach and a lower incidence of immediate facial movement impairment.

Article Synopsis
- The aesthetics of the periorbital region are heavily affected by the position of the eyebrows, forehead wrinkles, and upper eyelid drooping, particularly due to aging-related eyebrow ptosis.
- There has been a rise in brow lift surgeries with various techniques, including the innovative 'gliding brow lift,' which uses a minimally invasive method and a hemostatic net.
- The article details a three-year experience with this technique involving three main steps: subcutaneous dissection, internal eyebrow fixation, and skin redraping, highlighting its simplicity, minimal scarring, and long-lasting effects.
Coronofrontal rhytidectomy: A new approach for the treatment of severe pseudoptosis and superior entropion in dogs.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the use of coronofrontal rhytidectomy (CFR) to treat severe eyelid issues in dogs, specifically pseudoptosis and superior entropion, while offering guidelines for surgical techniques based on individual cases.
- Data was collected from medical records of 20 dogs over 21 years, with key findings including a high prevalence of entropion, conjunctivitis, and other eye conditions, alongside successful outcomes from various surgical methods.
- The results indicate that CFR is highly effective, achieving over 90% success in correcting eyelid positioning, with no reported complications post-surgery.
Limited Delamination Modifications to the Extended Deep Plane Rhytidectomy: An Anatomical Basis for Improved Outcomes.

This study introduces variations of a limited delamination approach to the deep plane face- and necklift. To report surgeons' perceptions of limited delamination deep plane rhytidectomy, define the anatomical basis to support these modifications, and report complication rates. This retrospective multi-institutional chart review study of patients undergoing a modified classical deep plane face- and necklift.

This involves working on the deeper layers to preserve the surface look while adjusting the fat pads beneath. Thus, we often use a modified High-SMAS facelift method, following this deep-layer approach.

Patients seek second facelifts either due to dissatisfaction with the primary procedure or years later after continued face and neck aging following successful first surgery. Previous surgical anatomical disruption, deformity of tension and vector, scar formation and skin excision compounded by the proliferation of historical energy-based skin treatments, thread lift procedures, and injectables make revision rhytidectomy a complex process of causal identification and surgical repair. Patients seeking revision due to dissatisfaction with a primary procedure, or worse visible deformity, have a heightened sense of anxiety which necessitates accurate diagnosis, careful examination, comprehensive documentation, and confidence in any planned secondary intervention as well as conservative expectation management.
