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.

Selective Neurectomy for Postfacial Paralysis Synkinesis: A Systematic Review.

Facial synkinesis is characterized by unintentional contractions of facial musculature secondary to aberrant facial nerve healing. The associated impairment in facial functioning results in a significant decrease in patients' quality of life. The mainstay treatment for postfacial paralysis synkinesis (PFPS) is chemodenervation and physiotherapy, which requires long-term maintenance neurotoxin injections.

The Nuances and Techniques of Deep Plane Face and Neck Lifting to Maximize the Defined Neck and Jawline and Obtain a Sharp and Beautiful Neck Contour.

This article seeks to expand on our understanding of lifting by utilizing the benefits of deep plane release and repositioning. The deep plane is a more logical and natural approach to lifting of the face and neck, lifting along the natural anatomic glide planes. Deep plane face and neck lifting have demonstrated superior results in the authors' experience with less dependence on ancillary measures such as fat grafting or implantation for midface volumization.

The Detailed Anatomy of the Deep Plane of the Face and Neck with Current Nomenclature.

The fundamental goal of modern face and neck lifting is to enhance and restore a more youthful facial appearance by addressing soft tissue descent. There are variations in described facelift technique including superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) flaps, composite flaps, deep plane, skin flaps, and subperiosteal facelifts, among others. The term "deep plane rhytidectomy" was originally described by Hamra.

Reconstructive Techniques in Pediatric Congenital Microtia: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Autografts and allografts are commonly used in microtia reconstruction. We aimed to systematically review and compare these reconstructive materials in pediatric congenital microtia reconstruction. A systematic review of the literature was performed.

PHAT Lips and PHAT Face: Platelet Hybridized Adipose Therapy for Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System and Dermal Rejuvenation.

Platelet-rich plasma has been increasingly used for facial rejuvenation in conjunction with other modalities such as microneedling or on its own. Nanofat grafting to the face has also been utilized for skin quality improvements. Our group previously described the novel combined Platelet Hybridized Adipose Transplant (PHAT) technique for hair restoration.
