Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Intravenous Regional Anesthesia

Intravenous regional anesthesia or the Bier block technique is used to anesthetize a specific limb or extremity. It uses exsanguinated or blood-drained vessels to transport local anesthetics or LAs to the peripheral nerve trunks. Lidocaine without vasoconstrictors like epinephrine is most commonly used for this technique. Other drugs used are prilocaine, ropivacaine, and chloroprocaine. Bupivacaine is not recommended for this technique due to its high cardiac toxicity.

Summary

The Injectable Thread Lift procedure uses a novel "arcing" filler injection technique to improve facial contouring. This method supports sagging skin by creating structural columns, enhancing the triangle of beauty for a more youthful appearance.

Area of Science:

  • Aesthetic medicine
  • Dermatology
  • Cosmetic surgery

Background:

  • Facial aging involves volume loss and skin laxity.
  • Current dermal filler techniques often lack 3D structural support.
  • The "triangle of beauty" is a key area for facial rejuvenation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce the "arcing" method for injectable thread lifts.
  • To enhance facial contouring by reassigning volume and supporting sagging skin.
  • To create structural columns and prevent skin folding during animation.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing the "arcing" technique with injectable threads for filler delivery.
  • Injecting filler along a path of variable depths with a continuous thread.
  • Creating an arc of support for skin overhangs and preventing crease formation.

Main Results:

  • The "arcing" method provides 3D structural support, unlike traditional 2D filler injections.
  • Created scaffolding prevents skin folding and crease formation during facial animation.
  • The procedure effectively reassigns volume into the "triangle of beauty".

Conclusions:

  • The "arcing" method represents a novel approach to injectable thread lifts.
  • This technique offers improved facial contouring and anti-aging effects.
  • Variable depth injections create a supportive scaffold, enhancing aesthetic outcomes.
