Muscles for Facial Expressions

The craniofacial muscles are a collection of approximately 20 thin skeletal muscles situated beneath the skin of the face and scalp. These muscles, primarily responsible for the vast array of human facial expressions, originate from the bones or fibrous structures of the skull and extend outwards to connect with the skin. While most skeletal muscles in the body are enveloped in thick fascia, facial muscles generally have a more delicate fascial covering, with the buccinator muscle being a...

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Aesthetic Medicine
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Facial aging affects the midface, leading to volume loss and structural changes.
  • Technological advancements, including endoscopy, have improved surgical techniques for facial rejuvenation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a preferred technique for subperiosteal midface-lift via a temporal approach.
  • To evaluate the aesthetic outcomes, indications, complications, advantages, and limitations of this procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing endoscopic visualization for extensive subperiosteal undermining of facial soft tissues.
  • Performing the lift through minimal access incisions, typically from a temporal approach.
  • Repositioning and remodeling midface soft tissues to reestablish youthful contours.

Main Results:

  • The procedure effectively rejuvenates the middle third of the face.
  • Satisfactory cosmetic results are achieved in most patients.
  • Key improvements include malar augmentation, nasolabial fold reduction, and mild jowl enhancement.

Conclusions:

  • The endoscopic subperiosteal midface-lift is an effective technique for midface rejuvenation.
  • It offers significant aesthetic benefits with minimal access.
  • The temporal approach provides a reliable method for addressing midface aging concerns.
