Summary

The Endotine Midface device offers a simpler, more controlled method for upper midface lifts compared to traditional sutures. This technique enhances the eyelid-cheek complex and midface projection.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Facial Rejuvenation Techniques
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Traditional upper midface lifts often rely on sutures for tissue fixation.
  • Suture-based fixation can be time-consuming, technically challenging, and require adjustments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the subperiosteal Endotine-assisted vertical upper midface lift technique.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Endotine Midface device for midface fixation.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of twelve patients underwent the Endotine-assisted vertical upper midface lift.
  • The procedure involved simultaneous forehead lift, blepharoplasty, and subperiosteal tissue release and fixation using the Endotine device.

Main Results:

  • Significant improvement in the eyelid-cheek complex and nasojugal groove was observed 6 months post-surgery.
  • A mean reduction of 5 mm in lower eyelid distance was noted, indicating improved support.

Conclusions:

  • Vertical upper midface lifts with Endotine-assisted fixation are safe and predictable over the zygomatic muscle.
  • The technique provides enhanced aesthetic control, volume enhancement, and projection of midface tissues.
