Objective: To describe the use of temporal fascia free grafts to treat dorsal open comminuted frontal sinus and nasal fractures.
Animal: One Belgian shepherd dog.
Study Design: Case report METHODS: A 5-year-old spayed female Belgian shepherd was admitted with severe facial deformation due to trauma. A deep, 3 cm wide wound was present between the nose and the frontal sinus. No abnormalities were detected on neurological examination. On computed tomographic examination, comminuted open fractures of the frontal and nasal bones were associated with a severe depression of the dorsal wall and presence of bone fragments in the sinus cavities. Bone fragments were apposed with polydioxanone monofilament suture. Bilateral temporal fascia grafts were placed over the bone fragments.
Results: The integrity of the frontal and nasal cavities, and the facial profile of the dog were restored. No short-term or long-term complications were observed after 4 months follow up.
Conclusion: The innovative combination of suture apposition of bone fragments and a temporal fascia free graft resulted in very satisfying long-term outcomes in a dog with open sinus and nasal bone fractures.

Background: Standardized surgical approaches to advanced pre-auricular cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (cSCC) are lacking.
Methods: Fifty-four patients who underwent lateral temporal bone resection (LTBR) for pre-auricular cSCC were grouped into "Levels" of increasing disease spread. Surgical approaches to achieve negative-margin resection were designed for each Level and replicated on cadaveric specimens.

Background: Over the past decade, facial aesthetics has gained popularity, with a notable increase in upper-face lift procedures. Despite the popularity of brows and forehead lifts, the optimal fixation technique remains controversial. Common methods involve suturing of the temporal fascia or using monocortical miniscrews anchored to the frontal bone.

Background: This investigation assessed patient satisfaction with a temporal incision technique using a super-high superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) flap for midface lifting in a Chinese patient cohort.
Methods: From July 2019 to July 2023, 95 patients underwent midface lifts via a temporal incision approach at our institution. The extent of SMAS flap dissection spanned 2 cm above the outer canthus, to the lower margin of the zygomatic arch inferiorly, and medially to the zygomaticus major muscle.
Facial lipoatrophy, a sign of normal aging, also occurs due to lipodystrophy from metabolic disorders affecting lipogenesis. It can be hereditary or acquired, localized or generalized. In HIV patients, prolonged antiretroviral therapy (ART) is a major cause, affecting around 55% of patients with 47% experiencing facial lipoatrophy.

Background: Temporal facelift (TFL) is an innovative technique for lifting the upper and mid-face. It is characterized by a unique dissection plane above the subgaleal fascia, which seamlessly transitions into the sub-superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS) layer in the mid-face. This approach enables comprehensive mid-face elevation, robust canthopexy, and a significant brow lift in various vectors.
