The nasolabial and facial artery musculomucosal (FAMM) flaps are predictable methods to reconstruct perioral and intraoral defects with vascularized tissue. The nasolabial flap can be harvested as an axial or random patterned flap, whereas the FAMM flap is truly an axial patterned flap, with either a superior or an inferior base. Both flaps have been widely used to provide predictable results, with low morbidity. Future studies are needed to further prove their use in compromised patients, including patients with a history of head and neck radiation and neck dissections.

Transtemporal Endoscopic Deep Plane Face Lift.

Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open

January 2025

Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Department, Yeditepe University Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey.

Background: Facial aging involves multifactorial changes affecting the bone, superficial musculoaponeurotic system, fat pads, and skin, primarily manifesting as the downward displacement of these structures. The transtemporal endoscopic deep plane face lift (TEDPF) suggests a vertical lifting method, targeting these issues without a preauricular incision.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 140 patients (133 women and 7 men) 33-67 years of age who underwent TEDPF from February 2020 to March 2023.

Background: Deepening of the nasolabial fold (NLF), drooping of the nasal tip, and facial expressions perceived as angry face, are common esthetic concerns. However, no studies have correlated this set of signs and symptoms with common anatomical causes. We review anatomical considerations of the region and propose a combined treatment modality.

Evaluation of Perceptual and Anthropometrical Facial Changes According to Increase in Vertical Dimension of Occlusion.

J Oral Rehabil

January 2025

Department of Prosthodontics and Research Institute of Oral Science, College of Dentistry, Gangneung-Wonju National University, Gangneung, Republic of Korea.

Background: For restorative demands, increased vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) is sometimes necessary, as facial changes can be perceptible.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the perception of facial change due to increased VDO and associated soft tissue changes using 3D-scanned facial images.

Methods: Forty participants with healthy dentition and no loss of VDO were recruited.
