    Area of Science:

    • Plastic and reconstructive surgery
    • Facial rejuvenation techniques

    Background:

    • Facelift surgery aims to improve signs of aging by addressing sagging facial tissues.
    • Various techniques exist, but long-term efficacy and safety remain key considerations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the long-term outcomes and safety of a specific facelift technique involving SMAS and platysma repositioning.
    • To present a large case series supporting the durability of this surgical approach.

    Main Methods:

    • Undermining and excision of excess Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System (SMAS) layer.
    • Repositioning of SMAS to superior fascia with permanent sutures.
    • Plication of the lateral platysma to mastoid fascia using permanent sutures.
    • Management of platysmal banding via submental incision and medial border excision/suturing.

    Main Results:

    • The described technique yielded superior aesthetic results with no significant adverse risks.
    • Permanent sutures demonstrated excellent durability, with one patient showing sustained results 16 years post-surgery.
    • Over fifteen hundred cases were performed using this consistent methodology.

    Conclusions:

    • This facelift method provides reliable and long-lasting facial rejuvenation.
    • The use of permanent sutures for SMAS and platysma fixation ensures sustained results and patient satisfaction.
    • The technique is safe and effective for addressing facial aging and neck banding.
