Muscles for Facial Expressions01:14

Muscles for Facial Expressions

5.4K
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...

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation II: ACLS Airway Management

898
Airway management is a key skill in emergency and critical care settings, as maintaining a clear airway is essential for adequate oxygenation and ventilation.Head Tilt-Chin Lift TechniqueThe head tilt-chin lift maneuver is an essential technique primarily used in patients without suspected cervical spine injuries. To perform this maneuver, one hand is placed on the patient’s forehead, and gentle pressure is applied backward to tilt the head. The fingertips of the other hand are positioned...

Tissue Renewal without Stem Cells

2.2K
After cellular or tissue damage, the resident stem cells present in the human body can locally repair and regenerate the damaged tissue or organ. However, even though some tissues do not have stem cells, they can repair and regenerate with the help of pre-existing cells. For example, beta cells of the pancreas and hepatocytes of the liver can divide to renew and regenerate the tissue. Here, both cell division and cell death are well regulated by homeostasis.
However, failure of such a system...

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation V: Advanced Airway Management Techniques

742
Airway management is essential in emergency and surgical medicine, ensuring ventilation and oxygenation in patients who cannot maintain their own airway. Clinicians use a range of techniques and devices to secure the airway, depending on the patient’s condition and the clinical context. Key methods include endotracheal intubation, rapid sequence intubation (RSI), supraglottic airway devices, and advanced visualization aids. In cases where these approaches fail, surgical airway...

Facial Feedback Hypothesis01:24

Facial Feedback Hypothesis

778
Charles Darwin proposed that facial expressions are an evolutionary adaptation for communication. He argued that these expressions are not influenced by culture but are universal across species. For example, a snarling expression with exposed teeth signals a threat in many animals, including humans. Darwin also suggested that displaying an emotion can intensify the feeling. Smiling, for example, could enhance one's sense of happiness. This idea laid the foundation for understanding the role...

Summary

Facial aging causes skin laxity and volume loss, particularly in the midface. A new multivector high SMAS plication technique effectively addresses this midface volume loss, unlike traditional methods.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Facial Rejuvenation
  • Aesthetic Medicine

Background:

  • Facial aging is characterized by skin laxity and volume deficits, most notably in the midface.
  • Traditional superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) rhytidectomy primarily addresses laxity but not volume loss.
  • Midface volume loss significantly contributes to an aged appearance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate the multivector high SMAS plication technique for facial rejuvenation.
  • To assess the efficacy of this technique in addressing midface volume loss.
  • To determine if the technique offers benefits for lower facial volumization.

Main Methods:

  • A novel surgical approach termed multivector high SMAS plication was employed.
  • This technique involves repositioning excess tissue to areas of volume deficit.

  • The procedure was evaluated for ease of performance and reproducibility.

    • Main Results:

    • The multivector high SMAS plication technique effectively addresses midface volume loss.
    • The technique allows for natural redistribution of excess tissue, enhancing facial volume.
    • Positive outcomes were observed in volumizing the lower face as a secondary benefit.

    Conclusions:

    • Multivector high SMAS plication is a reproducible and effective method for facial rejuvenation.
    • This technique successfully corrects midface volume loss, a key aging feature.
    • The procedure offers an additional benefit of lower facial volumization.
