Operation Indication

Das Facelifting ist ein Eingriff, bei dem die erschlaffte Gesichts- und Halshaut mobilisiert und gestrafft wird. Dabei sollen später keine Operationsnarben sichtbar sein. Präoperativ müssen die Patienten über das Vorgehen, die zu erwartenden Resultate und die möglichen Komplikationen genau informiert und aufgeklärt werden. Der die Operation durchführende plastische Chirurg sollte einerseits genügend Erfahrung in der Planung und Durchführung solcher Operationen haben, und andererseits über die nötigen Kenntnisse und das Einfühlungsvermögen verfügen, um auch in psychologisch schwierigen Fällen die richtige Entscheidung zu treffen.

The face-lift operation is not difficult for the well-trained otolaryngologist. However, as in every surgical procedure, there are certain techniques that facilitate its performance and improve results. This paper discusses some of these techniques that have been developed during the past 20 years.

In facial contouring surgery, surgeons operate the facial bone to correct bone morphology and thus achieve esthetic feminine face. To evaluate the face appearance after surgery and rehearse every surgical procedure in facial contouring surgery, simulations for tissue peeling, incising and suturing on the face together with bone burring and grafting on the facial bone are required. This paper presents a method that transforms respective tissue vertices to simulate tissue peeling. The transformation is based on specified incisions and clamps as in real facial contouring surgery. This paper also uses an auxiliary structure to represent and record tissue boundary changes inside the face. The elastic, partially plastic and plastic tissue deformation and wound formation during an incision can be simulated by manipulating these boundary changes. The incised wound recorded in the auxiliary structure is also manipulated to simulate tissue generation in wound healing during a suture. This volume manipulation method is combined with the reported method for bone burring and grafting simulations so that high-quality 3D images for illustrating surgical procedures both on the face and facial bone can be achieved. Simulations of two case examples including tissue peeling, incising and suturing procedures, and three modalities of facial contouring surgery demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method and system.

AbstractFor optimal results, facial rejuvenation procedures should address both the tissue laxity and volume deflation associated with facial aging. The lift-and-fill face lift, in which fat grafting provides volumetric rejuvenation to the face while surgical lift effectively repositions and removes ptotic and redundant tissue, has revolutionized the plastic surgeon's approach to the aged face. An understanding of the intricate anatomy of distinct facial fat compartments and a systematic method to assess areas of fat atrophy and volume depletion are keys to provide patients with a natural and youthful result. Fat grafting may be used to improve contour in any area treatable by nonautologous injectable fillers, including the temples, forehead, upper and lower orbit, cheeks, perioral region, nasolabial fold, jawline, and chin—with the benefit of a more natural contour and integration with native tissue.

The Face

Recognizing the need to reduce the usual lengthy operating time of face-lift surgery with its inherent risks and to make possible the combining of multiple operative procedures of the face, the author explains a technique for shortening the face-lift procedure without sacrificing important steps to produce an effective, long-lasting result. Some of these steps include rapid, but careful administration of sedation, expeditious administration of local anesthesia through preplaced spinal needles, effective illumination of the field, particularly beneath the skin flaps, for rapid hemostasis with use of electrocautery, a safe and swift method of extensive undermining, strategic use of subcutaneous suspension sutures for plication, application of temporary anchor sutures in the rotation of skin flaps, the use of skin clamps for rapid closure, and a Hemovac for postoperative control of bleeding.
