Supraperiosteal lifting of the upper two-thirds of the face.

This paper presents an alternative to subperiosteal lifting (mask-lift), consisting in making the dissection following the natural plane of the sub-SMAS in the upper and middle thirds of the face. It constitutes what we have called supraperiosteal lifting of the upper two-thirds of the face, or suspension of the fronto-temporo-periorbito-malar SMAS. In our experience, this technique offers certain advantages and has fewer complications than subperiosteal lifting, allowing natural and harmonious rejuvenation of the upper two-thirds of the face, leaving no sequelae other than the coronal scar which is concealed in the scalp. The article describes the surgical procedure and the results obtained, as well as its frequent association with other procedures such as blepharoplasty, modification of the orbital bone rim, malar augmentation, rhinoplasty, cervicofacial lifting etc.

The rationalization of liposuction: toward a safer and more accurate technique.

Liposuction, like all surgical procedures, is subject to complications and unfavorable results. Since it is a closed procedure and departs from the usual concept of surgery, its practice is, to a large extent, based on subjective intraoperative estimation. Therefore, it is liable to errors that might have serious local and systemic consequences. In an attempt to improve the technique, the authors have designed new instruments: the "tunnel tracer" and the "guided cannulae." They provide the basis for systematizing the procedure and applying it in a more rational manner. With these instruments and the methodology described in this article, over the last three years we have obtained very satisfactory results and notable reduced morbidity. The advantages are less trauma, less risk, less hemorrhage, less effort for the surgeon, and greater precision.

A new technique for the treatment of palpebral bags.

A new technique for the treatment of palpebral bags is presented. The technique consists of returning fat to the orbital cavity and retaining it by means of a continuous suture (with nonabsorbable filament) of the capsulopalpebral fascia to the periosteum of the lower orbital rim. The anatomic basis for the technique, after examination of the relevant literature and dissection on fresh cadavers, is analyzed. The procedure followed and results obtained are described in detail. Evaluation of the results suggests to the authors that this might be the method to be applied in the majority of patients.
