Subperiostic lifting

Abstract

Usually in subcutaneous or muscular rejuvenation techniques, work is concentrated on the lateral regions of the face and particularly on the cheek and cervical area. However, results are poor in the temporoparietal area and are virtually nonexistent in the frontonasal area. By making a coronal incision and extending it into the preauricular area followed by a subperiosteal approach so as to free the frontonasal, orbital rim, and zygomaticomalar areas, we can completely mobilize the upper half of the face thus improving it aesthetically.

Midface Rejuvenation

“…To explain the plethora of recent literature on midfacial rejuvenation, it is often said (Center, left) Preoperative three-quarters view of the that although there are many ways to combat a single problem, no single method provides the ideal solution. 20 As with some other authors, [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] but with a different approach, the present work considers that only subperiosteal dissection of the facial soft tissues and upward repositioning allow an efficient, natural, harmonious, and longer lasting result. This technique produces a composite flap, containing all the soft tissues of the midface area, that is repositioned en bloc (Fig.…”

The “Midface-Lift” as a Misnomer for Correctly Identifying Procedures Designed to Lift and Rejuvenate the Cheeks and Malar Regions of the Face

“…20 Others argue that only subperiosteal dissection achieves adequate liberation of facial soft tissues from the underlying skeleton. 18,[21][22][23] The lower blepharoplasty incision has been a common technique for surgeons to approach the midface. 7,19,24,25 Other incisions include those in the temporal and sublabial areas.…”
