Abstract:
The lateral superficial musculoaponeurotic system-ectomy (SMASectomy) is a safe, versatile, and easily reproducible technique in facelift surgery. The ability to resect a portion of the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) over the junction of the mobile and fixed SMAS produces a powerful lift with similar aesthetic results to a traditional SMAS flap, but without the additional risks of nerve injury. The ability to alter the vector of motion of the underlying SMAS makes the technique adaptable to a variety of facial characteristics. The lateral SMASectomy is a viable and powerful method that has stood the test of time.

01:27Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

Lateral canthotomy is a potentially eyesight-saving procedure when performed emergently for an orbital compartment syndrome. An orbital compartment syndrome results from a buildup of pressure behind the eye; as pressure mounts, both the optic nerve and its vascular supply are compressed, rapidly leading to nerve damage and blindness if the pressure is not quickly relieved.
The medial and lateral...
