    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Surgical Hemoconstriction

    Background:

    • Facelift surgery aims to improve aesthetic outcomes.
    • Effective surgical hemostasis is crucial for optimal results and patient recovery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of a diluted 2% ornithine 8 vasopressin solution in facelift surgery.
    • To compare its outcomes against previously used agents.

    Main Methods:

    • Facelift surgery was performed on 150 patients.
    • Local infiltration of a 2% ornithine 8 vasopressin solution was administered bilaterally.
    • A diluted concentration compared to standard recommendations was used.

    Main Results:

    • The solution induced significant surgical hemoconstriction.
    • A satisfactory early postoperative period was observed.
    • Superior results were achieved compared to other agents previously employed.

    Conclusions:

    • A diluted 2% ornithine 8 vasopressin solution is effective for facelift procedures.
    • It offers advantages in surgical hemostasis and patient recovery.
