Summary
This study combined facial bone contouring with multiplane facelifts for facial rejuvenation. The novel procedure achieved high patient satisfaction with minimal complications, offering a safe and effective approach.
Area of Science:
- Plastic Surgery
- Aesthetic Medicine
- Facial Rejuvenation
Background:
- Aging causes both soft tissue and skeletal changes in the face.
- Addressing only one aspect of facial aging limits natural rejuvenation results.
- There is a growing demand for effective anti-aging facial procedures.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present a novel combined surgical technique for facial rejuvenation.
- To evaluate the safety and efficacy of combining whole-facial bone contouring with multiplane facelifts.
- To assess patient satisfaction and complication rates associated with the combined procedure.
Main Methods:
- A retrospective review of 22 female patients undergoing combined facial bone contouring and multiplane facelift.
- Procedures included reduction malarplasty, genioplasty, mandible anglectomy, and multiplane facelift.
- Data collected included demographics, surgical details, complications, and patient satisfaction.
Main Results:
- The mean age of patients was 42.86 years.
- High patient satisfaction (over 95%) was reported.
- Complications were infrequent, including minor hematoma and unfavorable scars.
Conclusions:
- The combined technique effectively addresses both skeletal and soft tissue aging of the face.
- This novel procedure reestablishes facial skeletal foundation and lifts soft tissues.
- The combined approach offers a safe, effective, and long-lasting solution for facial rejuvenation.

Muscles for Facial Expressions
4.4K
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...

Bone Remodeling
40.1K
Bone remodeling is a continuous and balanced process of bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. In adults, it helps maintain bone mass and calcium homeostasis. While mechanical stress can stimulate turnover as part of the normal maintenance and reparative process, several hormones also regulate bone remodeling.

Cranial Bones: Lateral View
4.2K
The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
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...

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
4.6K
The superior view of the cranium shows the frontal and paired parietal bones.
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...

Facial Feedback Hypothesis
471
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...
