The extended face-lift with ancillary procedures

B L Kaye

    Annals of Plastic Surgery
    |May 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    This double-layered face-lift technique enhances facial contours by advancing the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) and modifying the platysma muscle. The method aims for improved aesthetic results and longevity in facial rejuvenation.

    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Facial Rejuvenation Techniques

    Background:

    • Traditional face-lift procedures often involve extensive dissection.
    • Improving the longevity and quality of face-lift results remains a key goal in aesthetic surgery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a double-layered face-lift technique.
    • To detail the surgical steps involving the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) and platysma muscle.
    • To suggest a method for objective evaluation of face-lift outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • The technique involves standard skin flap dissection in the cheeks and neck undermining.
    • Superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) advancement in the cheeks is performed.
    • Partial transection and midline suturing of the platysma muscle in the neck are key components.

    Main Results:

    • The described method creates a robust foundation for facial lifting.
    • The double-layered approach aims to enhance the quality and duration of aesthetic improvements.
    • Ancillary procedures necessitate a staged approach due to increased operative time.

    Conclusions:

    • The authors believe this double-layered face-lift technique offers superior and longer-lasting results.
    • Further objective evaluation is needed to scientifically validate the perceived benefits.
    • The technique involves specific modifications to the SMAS and platysma for enhanced facial contouring.
