    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Minimally Invasive Procedures
    • Facial Aesthetics

    Background:

    • Growing patient demand for facial rejuvenation without extensive surgery.
    • Limitations of conventional facelifts, including visible scarring.
    • Need for effective, less invasive alternatives for mid- and lower face lifting.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate a minimally invasive subcutaneous temporofacial lift technique.
    • To assess the efficacy of SMAS suspension in conjunction with this approach.
    • To determine suitability for patients avoiding traditional rhytidectomy.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing a subcutaneous approach for mid- and lower face lifting over three years.
    • Combining the technique with Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System (SMAS) suspension.
    • Comparing outcomes to conventional rhytidectomy while avoiding preauricular scars.

    Main Results:

    • Successful facial improvement in selected patients using the described technique.
    • Demonstrated efficacy of subcutaneous lifting combined with SMAS suspension.
    • Avoidance of preauricular scars achieved in all treated cases.

    Conclusions:

    • The subcutaneous temporofacial lift with SMAS suspension is a viable option for selected patients.
    • This minimally invasive technique offers an alternative to conventional facelifts.
    • Effective facial rejuvenation can be achieved with reduced scarring and recovery time.
