The deep-plane rhytidectomy was first described in 1990 and has gained traction in the past decade as supported by anatomy, embryology, and clinical evidence. Consumer dissatisfaction in facial rejuvenation procedures often occurs because p…

The aged neck is the most common motivator for patients seeking facial rejuvenation. Unlike the deflated midface, surgical treatment is still the gold standard for optimal outcomes. It is our view that the majority etiology of both the aged…

This study introduces variations of a limited delamination approach to the deep plane face- and necklift. To report surgeons' perceptions of limited delamination deep plane rhytidectomy, define the anatomical basis to support these modific…

The aged neck is the most common motivator for patients seeking facial rejuvenation. Unlike the deflated midface, surgical treatment is still the gold standard for optimal outcomes. It is our view that the majority etiology of both the aged…

[INTRODUCTION] The true effect of aging and other patient factors on submandibular gland (SMG) volume is unclear. We sought to evaluate the effects of age, body mass index (BMI), sex and race on SMG volume using computed tomography (CT) ima…

This article provides the facial plastic surgeon with anatomic and embryologic evidence supporting use of the deep-plane technique and understanding the evolution of the technique over decades to the vertical platysma advancement for optima…

In this article, we will provide the reader with the anatomical and embryologic evidence supporting the use of the deep-plane approach in rhytidectomy and insight into the evolution of the technique into the vertical platysma advancement. T…

The deep-plane midface lift offers many advantages in midface rejuvenation. Anatomic analysis of aging and embryologic evidence both support surgical facial “degloving” in the sub-SMAS plane and resuspension of the platysma/SMAS unit. This …

This article provides the facial plastic surgeon with anatomic and embryologic evidence to support the use of the deep-plane rhytidectomy for optimal treatment of the aging neck. An anatomic basis is established that demonstrates this techn…

[OBJECTIVE] To define whether duration of anesthesia is an indicator of patient morbidity and mortality in facial plastic surgery performed in an accredited office-based surgical facility. [DESIGN] A prospective and retrospective outcomes …

In laryngoplasty procedures, laryngotracheal soft tissue defects are often repaired using skin grafts. While stenting is necessary to approximate and immobilize the graft, prolonged stenting causes increased bacterial counts, granulation ti…
