Objective Assessment of Lower Face and Neck During 1 Year After Rhytidectomy in Asian: When Your Patient Asks You About the Surgical Outcomes.

Background: The first year after surgery is a period of significant change, during which patients are highly concerned and sensitive about the outcomes.

Objective: This study aimed to measure objectively the improvements and changes in the lower face and neck over the course of 1 year after rhytidectomy in Asian.

Materials And Methods: This study included a total of 50 patients, comprising 100 hemifaces, who underwent extended deep-plane rhytidectomy using a composite flap from January 2017 to December 2022.

Rotation of a Part of the Composite Flap for Simultaneous Gonion Reduction and Malar Augmentation During Rhytidectomy in Asians.

Background: The desired facial shape that Asians aim to achieve through plastic surgery differs from that of westerners.

Objectives: The author facilitates facial volume deflation by using the rotation of a part of the composite flap to the malar area resulting in volumetric augmentation during rhytidectomy; simultaneously, a volumetric reduction was implemented in the gonion.

Methods: Extended deep plane rhytidectomy with the rotation of a part of the composite flap was performed in 49 patients, whereas extended deep plane rhytidectomy without the rotation of a part of the composite flap was performed in 20 patients.

Combination of W-plasty and Botulinum Neurotoxin Type A Injection for Preventing Rhytidectomy Scar in Asians.

Background: This study was conducted to see if better scar results could be obtained by administering botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNTA) injection and W-plasty incision for preventing rhytidectomy scar.

Methods: All patients underwent extended deep-plane rhytidectomy in two groups. Group 1 had a straight incision line, and BoNTA was not given.
