Suture midface suspension offers a safe and effective facelift technique for midface descent. This method provides satisfactory and stable outcomes, proving useful alongside other oculoplastic procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Oculoplastic surgery
  • Facial rejuvenation techniques

Background:

  • Midface descent can negatively impact facial aesthetics and function.
  • Oculoplastic procedures often require adjunct techniques for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a straightforward and effective facelift technique.
  • To highlight suture midface suspension as an adjunct to oculoplastic surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective, non-comparative case series.
  • Thirty-five patients underwent suture midface suspension between 1998 and 2000.
  • Suspension sutures were anchored from the nasolabial fold to the temporalis fascia.

Main Results:

  • The technique achieved satisfactory and stable outcomes.
