The Short Neck: Challenges and Techniques.

Facial Plast Surg

December 2022

Auersvald Cirurgia Plástica, Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil.

Establishing a pleasant cervical contour in short-neck patients is of one the most difficult challenges for a facial plastic surgeon. Subplatysmal volume reduction, platysma tightening, and skin distribution adequately coupled with the middle third facelift are the pillars of the surgical approach. Additionally, treating the small chin, which is frequently observed in these patients, improves the overall result.

Essential Surgical Anatomy for Facelift.

Facial Plast Surg

December 2022

Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, Singapore.

It is crucial for a facelift surgeon to have a comprehensive understanding of ageing-related changes on the volume, elasticity, and relative position of various facial tissues and layers. These changes lead to an alteration in the surface topography, contour, and ultimately shape of the face. The depressions and sagging of tissues created as a result of ageing then has a bearing on one's perceived age.

Deep-plane rhytidectomy, first described by Skoog, has had a resurgence in popularity and is in high demand today. We describe anatomical findings that establish the presence of a true deep fascia in the midface, we named as Chiara's fascia, like the first author's first name, which helps to form the facial ligaments and is contiguous with the superficial layer of the deep temporal fascia. This fascia inserts on the periosteum of the inferior orbital rim at the arcus marginalis and separates the suborbicularis oculi fat (SOOF) from the preperiosteal fat.

Background: Recently, the concepts of anatomic-based fat grafting and mid-facial anatomy have been studied. However, there is no clear consensus on the optimal fat grafting technique. We aimed to introduce a novel intraoral approach to fat grafting based on mid-facial mimetic muscles, wherein a substantial amount of fat was injected into appropriate locations to increase patient satisfaction and decrease the need for additional surgical techniques.

Background: One of the greatest developments in modern medicine is the strides taken in radiology. Today, thanks to high-tech devices like computer tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and ultrasound, a noninvasive glimpse into the human interior has been made possible. These recent developments have revolutionized how doctors see anatomy.

Enhanced study of facial soft tissues using a novel large scale histology technique.

Clin Anat

January 2023

Melbourne Advanced Facial Anatomy Course (MAFAC), Australasian Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, Toorak, Australia.

The safety and effectiveness of facial cosmetic surgery procedures are dependent on detailed 3D understanding of the complex surgical anatomy of the face. Traditional, small sample size anatomical dissection studies have limitations in providing definitive clarification of the fascial layers of the face, and especially in their relationship with the facial nerve, and their reaction to surgical manipulation. The objective study of large tissue areas is required to effectively demonstrate the broader architecture.

Facelift Techniques: An Overview.

Facial Plast Surg

December 2022

Private Practice at FACEISTANBUL, Istanbul, Turkey.

Facelift techniques can be classified according to the depth and extent of the dissection applied. Imbrication and plication of the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) referred to as "SMAS lifts" or "classical facelifts" are the most commonly used techniques. Plication techniques involve in-folding of the SMAS and suture suspension without any SMAS incision whereas imbrication techniques involve a SMAS incision with a portion of the SMAS either removed or transposed with or without limited sub-SMAS dissection.
