Abstract

[BACKGROUND] Patients considering a facelift (facial rhytidectomy)need some means of predicting their surgical outcomes. This will help them decide whether to proceed with the operation.

[METHODS] A total of 50 consecutive patients were asked to examine themselves with a hand-held mirror while lying supine on an examining table to give them a reasonable approximation of their postoperative result.

[RESULTS] The tissues of the face redrape in a very when lying completely supine. The appearance that the patient sees of himself or herself during the "supinetest" correlated very well with the actual postop result after rhytidectomy consisting of subcutaneous undermining,SMAS plication, and platysmaplasty.

[CONCLUSION] This supine test may be useful in helping patients preoperatively predict their facelift outcomes and may serve as a good adjunct to imaging.

Supine Test
Over the past several years, the senior author (C.H.) has used the “supine test” for almost all patients coming in for face-lift consultation. After the patient is seated on an adjustable examination chair, the back of the chair is fully reclined to place the patient in an absolutely supine position. A handheld mirror then is given to the patient (Fig. 1), so he or she can appreciate the appearance of the facial tissues without the inferior pull of gravity. The mirror is held directly above the eyes and parallel to the ceiling. If the patient has some submental fullness due to fat, the surgeon’s finger is placed in the submental region, and gentle pressure is applied upward to push the fat out of the way and mimic submental fat removal. The patient is cautioned that the result he or she sees demonstrates improvement only to the sides of the face, jowl area, and neck, not in the periocular or perioral regions.

Surgical Approach
Facial rhytidectomy (meloplasty) involves wide skin undermining and submucosal aponeurotic system (SMAS) plication similar to that described elsewhere [9]. Submental fat is removed by either liposuction or direct excision. The platysma is almost always plicated medially, and an inferior myotomy is performed in almost all cases.

Results

Results
The supine test provided good prediction of face-lift results, as evidenced by the example in Fig. 2a and b. The patient in this example was considered to be a good candidate for facial rhytidectomy. In the supine position, the tissues redrape due to gravity and exhibit a much improved overall facial appearance (Fig. 3). Postoperatively (at 10 months), the patient exhibits a significant improvement (Fig. 4a, b). The postoperative lateral view does indeed look similar to the preoperative supine view. The supine test was performed for 50 consecutive patients, none of whom complained that the postoperative result did not match that seen during the supine test.

Discussion

Discussion
Providing patients preoperatively with predictions regarding their postoperative result is a challenge faced by surgeons every day [1, 4, 6, 7], particularly in aesthetics. The operations span the gamut of procedures we perform and include patients who wonder how their breasts will look after augmentation, those who wonder how their arm contour and scars will look after brachioplasty, and those who wonder how their faces will look after face-lift, mid face-lift, and blepharoplasty. The supine test is a helpful method in this regard.
The first impression of the supine test is that it redirects the inferior pull of gravity to a lateral direction and therefore does not faithfully reproduce the superior or superolateral vector of pull used by other types of face-lift operations. Empirically, however, the tissues of the face do migrate superiorly when the patient is in a supine position and do mimic the results of the SMAS plication/plastysmaplasty operation. Because the results of SMAS plication are very similar to those for other types of SMAS procedures, it is suspected that the supine test will work for them also.
However, the supine test may not be applicable for all facial rejuvenation procedures [8]. Certainly, those that involve substantial malar elevation may not be benefited by it. Tonnard and Verpaele [10] address this problem directly in their book on the minimal access cranial suspension (MACS) face-lift. They provide a true preoperative “vertical” lift simulation by having patients stand on their head and photographing their face while they are upside-down. Their technique most accurately replicates the vertical vector of pull produced by their operation and is a testament to the authors’ devotion to accuracy.
In summary, the preoperative supine test is a very simple and rapid test that can be used easily to provide a prediction of face-lift results. It is an adjunct to imaging that forewarns the eager young patient who will not get much benefit from a facial rhytidectomy. Our patients have appreciated it, and it has proved to be reasonably accurate and helpful for the SMAS plication/platysmaplasty operation.
