Abstract:
Some plastic surgeons are limited in their technical knowledge on the mimetic muscle and conversely appear to vindicate a distinct priority in the problem of surgical rejuvenation, or, in general, in the effects of ageing, always involving the mimetic muscles included in the skin. Anatomists have worked better in research on mimetic muscles that we would like to indicate as not inserted, free to move in a different way from that of inserted or semi-inserted. Otolaryngologists and maxillo-facial surgeons, in the practice of surgery on the salivary glands, seem to have studied mimetic muscles before and in more detailed manner than plastic surgeons.
