The deep side of facelifts.
Adequate undermining of the SMAS layer, excision of redundant SMAS, and repositioning with permanent sutures to fascia in a more superior area has afforded better results without untoward risks. Plication of the lateral edge of the platysma to the mastoid fascia with the same 3/0 permanent suture is usually sufficient, although strong mid-neck banding must be treated with a submental incision, excision of the medial platysma borders which are then sutured together with the same permanent sutures. My series represents more than fifteen hundred cases performed in this manner. I recently did a secondary facelift sixteen years later and found these sutures still holding very well. In these days of many facelift techniques, it would be interesting to compare your comments and suggestions.

Surgical management of nasal valvular obstruction of dorsal origin.
Nasal obstruction from valvular dysfunction may take many forms besides alar collapse. Some valvular stenoses result from scarring and tissue loss from the dorsum of the nose. Any surgical correction should take into consideration replacement of lost tissue. Several surgical means of handling this type of obstruction are described.
Surgery of the nasal tip.
Three techniques of nasal tip cartilage modifications are discussed in detail: the delivery, retroversion, and split (intracartilaginous) techniques. Ancillary procedures of the nasal tip, such as septoplasty without decreasing support, secondary surgery and post-traumatic nasal tip problems, and the rationale for various procedures are discussed.

Secondary rhinoplasties and composite grafts.
We have discussed composite grafts and some of their uses in secondary rhinoplastic procedures, the donor sites, and methods of application as to the dynamics of the iatrogenic problems and large septal perforations. A technique for nasal tip revisions as well as a safer septoplasty surgery that we have used for some years has also been shown.
