Subcision: An Ancillary Procedure to Face-Lift Operation to Improve Prominent Nasolabial Folds
نویسنده
چکیده
Face-lift operations have been performed to correct the stigma of aging of the lower face, and its techniques have been modified to obtain more favorable results. However, the lack of significant improvements in the appearance of nasolabial folds has been a problem in face-lift procedures, requiring surgeons to perform ancillary procedures such as fat strip, dermofat, and superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) grafting to address the issue. In this report, we describe a subcision technique using a wire scalpel or a thread as an ancillary procedure to a face-lift operation to improve the appearance of nasolabial folds. The procedure is simple, safe, easy, and effective with minimal complications. (Arch Aesthetic Plast Surg 19: 120, 2013)

With minimal skin and SMAS undermining, as well as a rotation point that is closest to the nasolabial folds and jowls, the "anterior vertical SMAS lift" reduces the risk of hematoma while optimizing direct pull on those surface features that require improvement. The vertical rotation enhances the malar region and decreases preauricular skin excision. Further, the author has found this technique...
