Subperiostic lifting.

Abstract

Usually in subcutaneous or muscular rejuvenation techniques, work is concentrated on the lateral regions of the face and particularly on the cheek and cervical area. However, results are poor in the temporoparietal area and are virtually nonexistent in the frontonasal area. By making a coronal incision and extending it into the preauricular area followed by a subperiosteal approach so as to free the frontonasal, orbital rim, and zygomaticomalar areas, we can completely mobilize the upper half of the face thus improving it aesthetically.
