T3 - Soft Face Lift by Suspension Surgery

Anatomic comparison of the deep-plane face-lift and the transtemporal midface-lift.

OBJECTIVE To identify whether the deep-plane face-lift or the extended transtemporal subperiosteal midface-lift is more effective in correcting midfacial ptosis. METHODS Five cadaveric dissections were performed with a unilateral transtemporal subperiosteal midface-lift followed by a deep-plane face-lift on the same hemihead. Three suspension sutures were evaluated-transtemporal midface-lift,...

The MACS-lift short scar rhytidectomy.

The minimal access cranial suspension (MACS) lift, a short scar face lift for the lower and middle third of the face, uses a pure vertical vector, involves no lateral tension, and may be performed with the patient under local anesthesia in 2 to 2.5 hours. According to the authors, the procedure reduces recovery time and morbidity, and results are as stable as more classic, extended face lift te...

Simultaneous correction of hard- and soft-tissue facial asymmetry: combination of orthognathic surgery and face lift using a resorbable fixation device.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate outcomes of simultaneous correction of the hard- and soft-tissue facial asymmetry with face lift procedure using a resorbable fixation device (Endotine Ribbon; Coapt Systems, Palo Alto, CA) during bimaxillary orthognathic surgery in cases with severe facial asymmetry. The samples consisted of 8 patients (mean age, 23.3 [SD, 4.4] years; 8 skeletal class ...

Analysis of Flow Pattern with Low Reynolds Number around Different Shapes of Bridge Piers, and Determination of Hydrodynamic Forces, using Open Foam Software

In many cases, a set of obstacles, such as bridge piers and abutments, are located in the river waterway. Bridge piers disrupt river’s normal flow, and the created turbulence and disturbance causes diversion of flow lines and creates rotational flow. Geometric shape and position of the piers with respect to flow direction and also number of piers and their spacing are effective on changing the ...
