Subperiosteal Rhytidectomy Provides Superior Correction of Midfacial Aging

The Aging Face: Rhytidectomy and Adjunctive Procedures

The Anatomic Basis of Midfacial Aging

Facial aging is a multifactorial, three-dimensional (3D) process with anatomic, biochemical, and genetic correlates. Many exogenous and endogenous factors can signifi cantly impact the perceived age of an individual. Solar exposure [ 1– 3 ] , cigarette smoking [ 1, 2, 4, 5 ] , medications [ 1 ] , alcohol use [ 1 ] , body mass index [ 2 ] , and endocrinologic status [ 1, 6, 7 ] have all been imp...

Characteristics of superior orbital subperiosteal abscesses in children.

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Superior pediatric orbital subperiosteal abscesses (SPAs) are less common than medial ones, and clinical features specific to patients with superior SPAs have not been well defined. Clinical characteristics between patients with superior and medial SPAs are compared to determine whether superior location is a risk factor for surgical intervention. STUDY DESIGN Retrospect...

Subperiosteal resection of mid-clavicle in Sprengel’s deformity correction

We report the results of fifteen cases of Sprengel's deformity treated surgically by initial subperiosteal resection of the middle third of the clavicle in conjunction with surgical release of all attachments of the scapula to the spine, excision of any omovertebral bone and resection of prominent supraspinous process of scapula. The patients included ten female and three male patients (age ran...

The Clinical Importance of the Fat Compartments in Midfacial Aging

SUMMARY The recent identification of the facial fat compartments has greatly affected our understanding of midfacial aging. This article chronicles the discovery of these fat compartments including the shift of attention from a purely gravitational to a volumetric approach to facial aging and the series of methodologies attempted to ultimately define the anatomy of these compartments. The reviv...
