Liposuction in cervical rejuvenation.

Superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) has represented a confusing anatomical structure because descriptions of it in classical treatises of anatomy are contradictory. Also, utilization of this system in facial rejuvenation also does not coincide with the true anatomical facts regarding the superficial musculo-aponeurosis. A macroscopic and histological study of the region was carried out in order to determine the areas of fat deposits and the distribution of the true cervical superficial aponeurosis, partly in accordance with the statements by Jost and leaving aside the concept proposed by Mitz and Peyronie. Cervical liposuction was combined with the techniques for cervicofacial rhytidectomy.

Improving the aesthetics of the cheek bone projection during facial lifting.

This paper shows how one of the flaps of the SMAS, which is normally eliminated during a facelift as excess tissue, can be folded up and used to improve the projection of cheekbone. The improvement of the projection of this facial area enhances the aesthetic result, when the desired aesthetic result is discreet, in rhytidectomy without having to resort to biomedical material or complex surgical techniques. Our technique, which is safe and easy to handle, simplifies this procedure, providing a long-lasting satisfactory result for both the patient and the surgeon. Our report was done following rhytidectomy on 126 female patients and after an approximately 3-year follow-up.
