Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures
  • Facial Rejuvenation

Background:

  • Traditional face-lifting procedures carry risks of complications.
  • A novel, mini-invasive technique is introduced to mitigate these risks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a simple, quick, and mini-invasive ambulatory face-lifting technique.
  • To evaluate its efficacy in patients needing mild to moderate facial lift.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a Khawaja-Hernandez or Keith needle with polypropylene 2-0 sutures.
  • Superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) was elevated and secured to the temporal bone periosteum.
  • 19 patients (14 women, 5 men; ages 51-67) underwent the procedure.

Main Results:

  • All 19 patients reported satisfactory outcomes.
  • The procedure was noted for its ease and simplicity by patients.

Conclusions:

  • The described technique provides a straightforward, rapid, and uncomplicated method for face-lifting.
  • This approach can be integrated with other facial rejuvenation treatments.
