Objectives: Determining which facelift procedures yield the most long-term rejuvenating effects and stability over time is an important question in cosmetic surgery: does radical and invasive surgery produce the most long-lasting results?
Introduction: The experience of our team suggests that using a combination of various techniques (open lipectomy, myotomies and myomectomies, suspensions, regenerative medicine techniques, salivary glands and digastric muscles management, ) appears to be essential to achieve satisfactory, lasting results. In this lecture, we describe the lower facelift and neck rejuvenation combined method.
Materials / method: To assess the outcomes of this technique, we conducted a prospective study of 50 patients treated at our hospital by the same surgeon between 2013 and 2016. For assessment purposes, we used the FACE-Objective Assessment Scale developed by our team. The scores obtained by three blinded graders before surgery and 12 months after surgery were compared using a paired t-test. A p value < 0.05 was considered significant.
Results: The results were satisfactory, with improvement in the appearance of treated areas. A significant difference between the pre- and postoperative scores was observed (p < 0.00001).
Conclusion: The lower face and neck rejuvenation combined method addresses the factors that contribute to the appearance of ageing in the lower third of the face and neck. In our study, this method resulted in positive, lasting outcomes, with few complications.
