    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Facial Rejuvenation
    • Aesthetic Surgery

    Background:

    • Aging of the upper third of the face presents unique challenges.
    • Existing rhytidectomy techniques may not fully address upper facial aging.
    • Ptosis and redundancy in the upper face require specific surgical considerations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a distinct surgical technique for the aging upper third of the face.
    • To detail a method for addressing ptosis and muscle-related aging concerns.
    • To highlight the advantages of a specialized approach to upper facial rhytidectomy.

    Main Methods:

    • A surgical technique focusing on the upper third of the face as an independent entity.
    • Malar or cervical rhytidectomies performed via a supra-auricular incision.

  • Targeted access to procerus, corrugator, frontalis muscles, and fibrotic galea.

    • Main Results:

    • Achieves a universal lift for ptosis and redundancy in the upper face.
    • Provides excellent accessibility to key facial muscles.
    • Utilizes a discreet, behind-the-hairline incision.
    • When combined with meloplasty, it helps mitigate postoperative hematoma risks.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed technique effectively addresses aging in the upper third of the face.
    • The method offers significant advantages in terms of lift, muscle access, and scar concealment.
    • Combination with meloplasty enhances safety by managing hematoma risks.
