Abstract:
Recent focus on aging face surgery has seen a paradigm shift in approach and related outcomes. This article describes the author's experience with extending prezygomatic dissection in deep plane facelift surgery to the suborbicularis space, release of the orbicularis retaining ligament and revectoring the orbicularis oculi as part of a truly composite deep plane flap to achieve lasting improvement in lower eyelid position, fat pad herniation, and midface lift obviating the need in many for lower blepharoplasty or canthal surgery.
