Eyebrow Lift: Open-Book ROOF Transposition and Orbicularis –Frontalis Sliding Maneuver
This article delves into innovative surgical techniques, the open-book ROOF (retro-orbicularis oculi fat) transposition technique (OBRoof) and the orbicularis–frontalis sliding maneuver (OFS), designed for eyebrow and upper eyelid rejuvenation in the aging process. Emphasis is placed on understanding the dynamic changes occurring within the forehead and eyebrow envelope's five layers and their intrinsic relationships as well as the impact of the ROOF ptosis causing upper eyelid hooding. The OBRoof technique is highlighted for its effectiveness in addressing ptotic volume, offering a rejuvenated appearance by relocating v...

Psychological Aspects of Facial Palsy
This article discusses the psychological effects of facial palsy (FP) in adults. FP is the abnormal functioning of facial muscles resulting from temporary or permanent damage of the facial nerves. Following facial paralysis, patients can develop motor and psychosocial functioning issues impacting quality of life. In addition, real or perceived judgment in social settings of those with FP increases the risk of low self-esteem, anxiety, and depression. Currently, most available research focuses on surgical patients and suggests a lack of psychological support throughout the affliction. A multidisciplinary approach when treat...

Osteotomy Techniques in Preservation Rhinoplasty with an Analysis of a Radix –Skull Base Computed Tomography Series
This study aims to explain our experience with dorsal preservation osteotomies, focusing on transverse, lateral, and dorsal aesthetic lines (DAL) osteotomies. We describe the utilization of a variety of surgical instruments, including osteotomes, saws, burrs, and piezo. This paper describes our concept of transcutaneous ultrasonic osteotomy, microedged-specific osteotomy, applying drills for lateral wall reshaping, and integrating piezo technology to establish new DAL. Furthermore, we present a radix–skull base computed tomography series analysis to evaluate the safety of transverse and radix osteotomies. [...] Thieme Me...

Medial Ligament Release: Is It a Proportional Standard?
Facial Plast Surg DOI: 10.1055/a-2290-3904Assessing the proportionality of extended facelift surgery across surgeons is not an easy task. Risks and assumed benefits need to be weighted, yet, especially the latter is difficult to objectify. Reverse engineering the pathway of two leading facelift surgeons suggest that excellent training and focused high-volume facelift surgery preceded their leadership. Yet these conditions are not available to all surgeons. Hence defining extended facelift techniques as the professional standard, could promote novice surgeons into a path that may not correspond to safe practice. [...] Thiem...

The Nuances and Techniques of Deep Plane Face and Neck Lifting to Maximize the Defined Neck and Jawline and Obtain a Sharp and Beautiful Neck Contour
This article seeks to expand on our understanding of lifting by utilizing the benefits of deep plane release and repositioning. The deep plane is a more logical and natural approach to lifting of the face and neck, lifting along the natural anatomic glide planes. Deep plane face and neck lifting have demonstrated superior results in the authors' experience with less dependence on ancillary measures such as fat grafting or implantation for midface volumization. The deep plane technique allows for the face and neck to be treated and lifted as a single composite unit, providing a more natural and long-lasting result and less ...

Evidence-Based Dynamics in Rhinoplasty
Facial Plast Surg DOI: 10.1055/a-2267-8698Rhinoplasty is a delicate surgical procedure that requires a thorough understanding of the dynamic interplay between the various structures of the nose. Any changes made to one part of the nose can have downstream effects on the overall harmony and appearance of the nose. For this reason, it is crucial for surgeons to be aware of these potential impacts in order to achieve predictable and aesthetically pleasing results. In this article, we aim to provide a summary of the current evidence-based conclusions on the dynamic influence of the radix, dorsum, tip, and ala during rhinoplast...

Characterizing the Impact of Facial Rehabilitation on Acute Facial Paralysis
Conclusions and Relevance FRT can provide meaningful improvement in functionality for patients with acute FP, regardless of time to treatment. Furthermore, patients who present with poorer functionality at baseline and those who undergo more treatment are most likely to see SFGS improvement. Research comparing the effect of facial rehabilitation with other treatment modalities and to a control cohort is warranted.

Advanced Deep-Plane Rhytidectomy: Advantages for Neck Treatment and Volumization of the Midface
Facial Plast Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0044-1785452The 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 neck and deflated midface is gravity's effects on the superficial soft tissue envelope, leading to soft tissue redundancy. It is also our view that the deep-plane rhytidectomy is supported by anatomy, embryology, and clinical evidence as the best methodology to treat soft tissue redundancy without producing the aesthetic and longevity issues ...

Deep Neck Lifting
Facial Plast Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0044-1785451Creating tight and durable profile neck results has perhaps become the principal objective of many surgeons. On social media such results are quickly recognized by colleagues and potential clients alike, much more so than “en-face” results. Yet individual patient characteristics play an essential role in determining if such results are technically possible and also dictate which techniques are required to achieve it. In many patients, these techniques involve manipulation of the deeper neck structures and are oriented more laterally than the direct submental region. Each sur...
