Muscles for Facial Expressions

4.0K
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...

Tissue Renewal without Stem Cells

2.0K
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...

Summary

This study introduces the Face Recurve Concept for more stable facelifts. It preserves the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) and uses tensor threads to reduce recurrence of platysma bands and skin excess.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Aesthetic Medicine
  • Aging Research

Background:

  • Facelift surgery often struggles with recurrent platysma bands and skin excess.
  • Current techniques may exacerbate the discrepancy between skin and the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS).
  • Aging involves SMAS retraction, a less visible but significant factor.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a new aging analysis and facelift technique for improved stability.
  • To address the recurrence of platysma bands and anterior skin excess.
  • To enhance the outcomes of rhytidectomy by preserving SMAS.

Main Methods:

  • The Face Recurve Concept utilizes MRI studies to analyze aging-related mimic muscle retraction.
  • Sub-skin dissection extends beyond paramedian folds.

  • Permanent tensor threads are anchored to reposition subcutaneous tissue, and platysma is horizontally sectioned at the hyoid level.

    • Main Results:

    • The technique demonstrated more stable results in 35 operated patients over one year.
    • Recurrence of platysma bands and anterior skin excess were significantly reduced.
    • Postoperative swelling was minimized.

    Conclusions:

    • Preserving the SMAS is crucial for stable facelift outcomes.
    • The Face Recurve Concept offers a more effective approach to managing aging signs.
    • This method improves facelift stability and patient satisfaction by minimizing complications.
