Summary
This study introduces an endoscopic facelifting technique using skin elevation and retraction. The method involves subcutaneous suturing and fixation for repositioning skin, creating a natural, higher, and posterior facial appearance.
Area of Science:
- Plastic Surgery
- Minimally Invasive Procedures
Background:
- Facelifting aims to rejuvenate facial appearance by addressing skin laxity.
- Traditional facelifts can involve extensive dissection and longer recovery times.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe a novel endoscopic facelifting technique.
- To detail the principles of skin elevation, retraction, and fixation using endoscopic visualization.
Main Methods:
- The technique involves complete skin undermining and elevation for repositioning.
- Endoscopic visualization facilitates subcutaneous tissue assessment and hemostasis.
- Subcutaneous suturing is employed for skin fixation and tightening, creating concealed skin rolls.
Main Results:
- The described method allows for repositioning the skin to a higher and more posterior level.
- Skin fixation is achieved through subcutaneous suturing in specific anatomical areas.
- Concealed skin rolls are created in the temple and mastoid regions.
Conclusions:
- This endoscopic facelifting technique offers a method for achieving facial rejuvenation through precise skin manipulation.
- The procedure utilizes endoscopic visualization and subcutaneous suturing for effective skin elevation and fixation.
