Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Dermatology
  • Aesthetic Medicine

Background:

  • Aging presents challenges in plastic surgery and dermatologic management of loose tissue.
  • Current techniques are continually evolving, yet effective treatment of aging signs remains complex.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess a new surgical method for addressing loose tissue in the submandibular, mental, and periorbital areas.
  • Evaluating an alternative approach to traditional plastic surgery for facial aging.

Main Methods:

  • A modified transcutaneous bipolar diathermy microprobe utilizing the coaxial principle was employed.
  • This technique targets loose tissue in the submandibular, mental, and periorbital regions.

Main Results:
