Breast Lift Algorithm for the Treatment of Breast Implant Illness Requiring Implant Removal.
[BACKGROUND] The recommendation of breast lift surgery in the setting of patients requiring breast implant removal is twofold. First, a breast lift is indicated for patients who present with breast mound or nipple-areolar complex ptosis. Se…

Successful Back Contouring With Elimination of Back Rolls Using Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction and Helium-Activated Radiofrequency.
[BACKGROUND] Patients are routinely consulted regarding dislike of their upper and middle back contour and associated back rolls that stick out of their bras. Although patients only associate this fullness with excess fat, on examination it…

Understanding Why Lateral Osteotomy During Rhinoplasty Can Be Performed Safely.
Lateral osteotomy is a mainstay of rhinoplasty surgery and involves fracture of the nasal and maxillary bones to narrow or widen the nasal dorsal bridge and base. To avoid nasal midvault collapse following rhinoplasty, the accepted "high-lo…

The Danger Zone in the Anterior Neck: Anatomical Landmarks to Avoid Injury to Anterior Jugular Vein During Face-Lift and Neck-Lift.
: An estimated 125,711 face-lifts and 54,281 neck-lifts were performed in 2015. Regardless of the technique employed, facial and neck flap elevation carries with it anatomical risk of which any surgeon performing these procedures should be …

A new technique involving a spherical stainless steel device to optimize positioning of the umbilicus.
[BACKGROUND] Creating an aesthetically pleasing umbilicus may be challenging due to various factors that involve the patient limitations and suboptimal techniques available to the surgeon. Although many techniques aim to locate the umbilicu…

Bony anatomic landmarks to avoid injury to the marginal mandibular nerve.
[BACKGROUND] Marginal mandibular nerve injuries are more likely to be symptomatic than other facial nerve injuries following facelift procedures. The marginal mandibular nerve courses over the facial artery in the region of the mandible. Th…

Follicular anatomy of the anterior temporal hairline and implications for rhytidectomy.
[BACKGROUND] Incisions made perpendicular to the hair follicles during anterior frontal hairline brow lifts or forehead shortening procedures help produce an inconspicuous forehead scar. The success of this "hidden" incision relies on the a…

Surgical design and algorithm for correction of earlobe ptosis and pseudoptosis deformity.
A previously described classification system for earlobe ptosis and criterion for earlobe pseudoptosis deformity was based on height measurements of the two earlobe components: the free caudal segment and the attached cephalic segment. The …
-
The "pixie" ear deformity following face lift surgery revisited.
[BACKGROUND] The "pixie" ear deformity can be recognized by its "stuck on" or "pulled" appearance, which is caused by the extrinsic pull of the medial cheek and jawline skin flaps at the earlobe attachment point, the otobasion inferius. The…

Avoiding the "pixie-ear" deformity following face lift surgery by differential insetting and secondary intention healing.
[BACKGROUND] The "pixie-ear" deformity has been described by its "stuck-on" or "pulled" appearance, due to the extrinsic pull of the cheek and jawline skin flaps on the earlobe attachment point (O), the otobasion inferius. The tension resul…

The extended SMAS facelift: identifying the lateral zygomaticus major muscle border using bony anatomic landmarks.
Extended superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) rhytidectomy has been advocated for improving nasolabial fold prominence. Extended subSMAS dissection requires release of the SMAS typically from the upper lateral border of the zygomati…

Effect of face lift on earlobe ptosis and pseudoptosis.
The authors have previously described a classification system for earlobe ptosis and established criteria for earlobe pseudoptosis. Earlobe heights were characterized on the basis of anatomic landmarks, including the intertragal notch, the …
-
The safe face lift with bony anatomic landmarks to elevate the SMAS.
The risk for facial nerve injury has been reported to be increased with the inclusion of superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) elevation as compared with a skin-only face lift. The facial nerve courses through the parotid gland. The …

Suction lipectomy during flap reconstruction provides immediate and safe debulking of the skin island.
Immediate suction lipectomy combined with flap reconstruction has not been reported to date. Concern of skin island compromise has swayed clinicians from attempting synchronous debulking of generous skin island tissue during primary flap re…

The aesthetic earlobe: classification of lobule ptosis on the basis of a survey of North American Caucasians.
North American Caucasian male subjects (n = 59) and female subjects (n = 72) were surveyed, to investigate earlobe height preferences that could serve as guidelines for aesthetic earlobe surgical procedures and reconstructions. Subjects wer…
