Three-step minimally invasive gliding brow lift (GBL) with internal suspension and percutaneous A. Net.

The aesthetics of the periorbital region are significantly influenced by the position of the eyebrows, forehead wrinkles, and upper eyelid ptosis, with aging-related eyebrow ptosis playing a major role. Brow lift surgery has seen a marked increase in popularity, driven by a variety of techniques tailored to individual patient needs. The 'gliding brow lift' technique, which employs a minimally invasive subcutaneous approach using a hemostatic net, represents a recent advancement in eyebrow rejuvenation.

[Traditional brow lift vs. endoscopic brow lift: Techniques and indications].

The forehead lift is designed to raise the eyebrows and reduce forehead wrinkles to rejuvenate the face. Since 1991, endoscopic surgery has revolutionized forehead lift techniques, bringing significant improvements in both cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. This article aims to present the indications and techniques of fronto-temporal plastic surgery, detailing the frontal and temporal areas.

Triple Arc Lift: Structural Approach to Upper Periorbital Rejuvenation.

The upper eyelid-brow complex should be approached as a series of three interrelated arcs, the shape of which determines the dimensions of the intervening spaces. By following an engineered structural approach addressing all components of the upper periorbital area, the ideal attractive proportions are created, and the eye becomes instantly more beautiful. Combining different techniques to address the three arcs can be done safely and effectively to treat all three upper lid types.

The application of basic SMAS rhytidectomy and comprehensive SMAS rhytidectomy.

Rhytidectomy has made great progress in the past 50 years, especially after the proposition of the concept of superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS). Our previous research had classified SMAS rhytidectomy into basic SMAS rhytidectomy (B-SMAS) and comprehensive SMAS rhytidectomy (C-SMAS) according to whether the treatment of SMAS aponeurosis is combined with retaining ligament, fat pad, mimetic muscles, etc. The purpose of this paper is to compare the outcomes of the 2 methods.

Fixation of Superolateral Platysma Flap to the Mastoid Fascia: A Novel Isolated Neck Lift Technique.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the utility of a novel neck lift technique based on fixation of superolateral platysma flap to the mastoid fascia in terms of postoperative aesthetic outcome and patient satisfaction within an 18-month follow-up period.

Methods: A total of 145 female patients who underwent isolated neck lift operation with the superolateral platysma flap technique were included. Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) scores (by the investigator) and the patient reported outcomes were recorded in terms of improvement in the cervicofacial angle, jowls, platysmal bands and malpositioned cervical fats, at 6 and 18 months, postoperatively.

Complete Platysma Muscle Suspension in Deep Plane Facelift Surgery.

Deep plane facelift surgery is not new, having originally been described over 30 years ago, however the technique has seen a recent surge in popularity. While proponents emphasize its ability to deliver very natural results, critics often cite the possibility of additional risk of the procedure due to its technically challenging dissection in proximity to branches of the facial nerve and other critical structures. These risks are perhaps greatest when operating in what have historically been described as the "danger zones," particularly when releasing the zygomatic retaining ligaments, when performing the medial deep plane dissection in the midface, and when extending the platysma flap over the angle of the mandible into the neck.

The Gliding Brow Lift: A Systematic Review of the Literature.

Introduction: Gliding brow lift (GBL) has become one of the most popular techniques for eyebrow lifting in recent years. Despite the widespread use of the technique, there are a few publications in the literature. This systematic review was conducted to present current data on GBL and determine its place among brow lift procedures.

Full SMAS: Endoscopy-Assisted Full Facial Rejuvenation.

Background: Every region of the face may bear the signs of aging. Treating isolated areas without adequate anatomical knowledge can lead to incomplete or artificial-looking results and decrease patient satisfaction. The authors' "Full SMAS" technique for complete rejuvenation addresses the anatomical continuity of the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS)-platysma to the deep-plane suspension of the face.

Reverse and antegrade vector thread lifting techniques: Correcting nasolabial and marionette lines.

Background: This study evaluates the efficacy of reverse and antegrade thread lifting vectors in conjunction with thread selection for correcting nasolabial folds and marionette lines, aiming to enhance treatment precision and effectiveness.

Methods: Three female patients aged 43, 48, and 53, presenting with primary concerns regarding nasolabial folds, underwent distinct treatment regimens utilizing various types of threads and vectors. Additionally, video demonstrations were recorded to showcase the procedural techniques employed in each case.

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.

[Frontotemporal volumetry to rejuvenate and re-feminize the face].

The author became interested in facial volume in the 1990s, during the period when he oversaw the feminization of the facial skeleton to improve the social integration of male transsexual patients. At that time, it was skeletal surgery. Very quickly, these techniques were extended to genetic women who wanted a more feminine face.

[The MASK lift].

The MASK lift or subperiosteal lift of the upper and middle thirds of the face is a procedure that can be performed alone for aesthetic purposes, but can also be combined with reconstructive surgery of this region to improve the result. This procedure will enable the overall result to be enhanced in the management of complex pathologies. The aim of this article is to present the MASK lift surgical technique in detail, to explain its indications and to show that this surgical technique still has a place in our practice.

[Brow lift by direct excision].

This article explores the technique of brow lift by direct excision to treat brow ptosis and rejuvenate facial appearance. Current brow lift techniques include thread lifts and traditional surgical methods such as frontotemporal lift and endoscopic lift. Direct excision stands out for its precision and ability to offer long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing results.

The pixie ear: How to prevent and correct it-a review of the literature.

As the life expectancy of the population continues to increase, more facial-rejuvenating procedures are sought. As the number of facelift procedures increases, it is mandatory to acknowledge, and most importantly prevent, any possible associated complications. One of the complications after rhytidectomy, and a sign of facelift, is the so-called "pixie ear deformity" or "bat ear.

Mandibular Ligament and the Prejowl Sulcus Explained.

The exact relationship between the jowl and the mandibular ligament and causes for jowling remain unclear in the literature. The anatomic basis for the jowl is multifactorial and disparities in descriptions of the mandibular ligament and prejowl sulcus have resulted in variations in its management. The aim of this paper was to clarify the anatomy and aging around the prejowl sulcus and the mandibular ligament and review our experience with its management in facial rejuvenation.

An Approach to Selection of Face-Lift Techniques for Different Types of Faces: An Analysis of 1000 Asian Patients Over 9 Years.

Background: A face-lift or rhytidectomy is the procedure most directly associated with rejuvenation. There are several surgical techniques for face-lifts, but criteria for the selection of techniques, based on the patient's face shape, are lacking. In this study, we report on our experience with specific indication criteria for each technique and the consequent achievement of good outcomes.
