Summary
The central suspension technique effectively treats moderate lower eyelid nasolabial folds. However, its efficacy is limited by midface cheek fat suspension.
Area of Science:
- Plastic Surgery
- Facial Aesthetics
- Oculoplastic Surgery
Background:
- Nasolabial folds are a common aesthetic concern.
- The lower eyelid and midface are crucial for facial harmony.
- Existing techniques have limitations in addressing these areas.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the utility of the central suspension technique for moderate nasolabial folds.
- To identify the limitations of this surgical approach.
Main Methods:
- The central suspension technique was employed.
- Focus was placed on its application in the lower eyelid and midface region.
Main Results:
- The central suspension technique demonstrated effectiveness in correcting moderate nasolabial folds.
- A key limitation identified was the restricted suspension achievable on the midface cheek fat.
Conclusions:
- Central suspension is a viable option for moderate nasolabial fold correction.
- The technique's success is contingent upon adequate midface fat support.

01:14Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The superior view of the cranium shows the frontal and paired parietal bones.
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...

01:14Muscles for Facial Expressions
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...

Airway management is a key skill in emergency and critical care settings, as maintaining a clear airway is essential for adequate oxygenation and ventilation.Head Tilt-Chin Lift TechniqueThe head tilt-chin lift maneuver is an essential technique primarily used in patients without suspected cervical spine injuries. To perform this maneuver, one hand is placed on the patient’s forehead, and gentle pressure is applied backward to tilt the head. The fingertips of the other hand are positioned under...
