Facial rejuvenation using vaser lipo: major advance in ultrasonic technology in cosmetic procedures

The use of VASER Lipo technology to improve surgical results in face and neck rejuvenation cases represents a major advance in the application of ultrasonic technology in cosmetic procedures. Now patients can have the result of a typical face or neck lift with less downtime and a more natural post-operative appearance.

Models of facial aging and implications for treatment.

Models of facial aging and implications for treatment.

Clin Plast Surg. 2008 Jul;35(3):319-27; discussion 317

Authors: Lambros V

In this article, which focuses on concepts rather than techniques, the author emphasizes that the best predictor of a good facelift outcome is an already attractive face that has good enough tissue quality to maintain a result past the swelling stage. The author notes that too often, surgeons gravitate toward a particular facial support technique and use it all the time, to often unsatisfactory results. He singles out different areas (the brows, the tear trough, the cheeks, and so forth) and shows how the addition of volume may give results better than traditional methods. As he points out, a less limited and ritualistic approach to the face seems to be how cosmetic surgery is evolving; all factors that might make a face better are reasonable to entertain.

The open coronal approach to forehead rejuvenation.

The open coronal approach to forehead rejuvenation.

Clin Plast Surg. 2008 Jul;35(3):331-51; discussion 329

Authors: Flowers RS, Ceydeli A

The coronal or frontal lift is a simple operation and the most effective tool for brightening and refreshing facial appearance. It becomes even more effective when combined with canthopexy, midcheek lifting, and lower lid surgery. Its rejuvenation and beauty-enhancing effects are awesome, and much of its benefit is transferable to endoscopic lifts or lateral juxta-brow, temple excisions, if one takes the time to master the details.

Optimizing results in endoscopic forehead rejuvenation.

Optimizing results in endoscopic forehead rejuvenation.

Clin Plast Surg. 2008 Jul;35(3):355-60; discussion 353

Authors: Rowe DJ, Guyuron B

Endoscopic forehead rejuvenation has several advantages over traditional open techniques. First, large incisional scars are avoided. Second, the chances of forehead elongation are less. However, the technique requires a significant learning curve for best results. Suboptimal results may occur and are typically due to underresection or uneven resection of the glabellar musculature, overdissection of the medial periosteum, and under or overcorrection when repositioning of the lateral brow. This article reviews the pertinent anatomy and techniques for endoscopic forehead rejuvenation, and describes the authors’ technique for more consistent, predictable results.
