    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Dermatology
    • Facial Rejuvenation Techniques

    Background:

    • Face lifting and skin resurfacing are established rejuvenation methods.
    • Their simultaneous combination has not been widely adopted.
    • Advancements in techniques warrant reevaluation of combined approaches.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of combined face lifting and skin resurfacing.
    • To establish guidelines for this combined procedure.

    Main Methods:

    • Facial skin resurfacing using trichloroacetic acid peel or short-pulse CO2 laser.
    • Facial lifting performed after liposuction and superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) tightening.
    • Evaluation of safety and efficacy in 25 cases.

    Main Results:

    • Dramatic facial rejuvenation achieved in all 25 cases.
    • No significant adverse events such as persistent erythema, pigmentation, or flap necrosis.
    • Common side effects included expected edema and ecchymoses.
    • Patients reported looking 15-20 years younger post-procedure.
    • Complexion improvements continued for up to 1 year.

    Conclusions:

    • Controlled skin resurfacing combined with face lifting is a safe and effective rejuvenation procedure.
    • The combination can be safely integrated with other procedures like blepharoplasties.
    • A recovery period of 6-8 weeks is typical for this combined approach.
