[Composite rhytidectomy a modo Hamra].

    Summary

    Conventional facelifts can cause lower eyelid aging and a "lateral sweep." A modified rhytidectomy technique, including orbicularis repositioning and fat preservation, prevents these aging signs for a more natural rejuvenation.

    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Facial Anatomy
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Context:

    • Conventional rhytidectomy techniques, including subcutaneous and SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) facelifts, often utilize unopposed lateral vector advancement.
    • Inadequate repositioning of tissues can lead to continued aging of the lower eyelid and upper cheek, resulting in a "lateral sweep" of the lower face.
    • Malar soft tissues may descend faster than the repositioned SMAS, exacerbating aesthetic concerns.

    Purpose:

    • To present a modified rhytidectomy technique aimed at preventing the "lateral sweep" and hollow eye appearance.
    • To describe a technique incorporating orbicularis muscle repositioning and lower eyelid fat preservation via arcus marginalis release.
    • To evaluate the outcomes of this composite rhytidectomy approach, inspired by Hamra's technique.

    Summary:

    • A novel rhytidectomy technique is detailed, addressing the limitations of conventional facelifts.
    • The technique involves repositioning the orbicularis oculi muscle and preserving orbital fat through arcus marginalis release.
    • This approach aims to prevent lower eyelid aging and the characteristic "lateral sweep" of the lower face.

    Impact:

    • Offers a solution to common aesthetic concerns associated with traditional facelifts, such as lower eyelid descent and midface volume loss.
    • Provides surgeons with an alternative technique for facial rejuvenation that addresses anatomical aging processes more effectively.
    • Demonstrates promising results in 19 treated cases, suggesting improved aesthetic outcomes and patient satisfaction.
