Facelift surgery is unique in many ways and for 100 years has stood the test of time as the most dramatic, effective, predictable, and accepted cosmetic lower facial procedure. From public misconceptions to patient confusion, a lot of information must be exchanged for successful diagnosis, recovery, and result. It requires a qualified surgeon that operates in a safe environment and knows his or...

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...

Surgical eyebrow lift has been described by using many different open and endoscopic methods. Difficult techniques and only short time benefits oft lead to patients' complaints. We present a safe and simple temporal Z-incision technique for eyebrow lift in 37 patients. Besides simplicity and safety, our technique shows long lasting aesthetic results with hidden scars and a high rate of patient ...

Abstract This paper presents a critical evaluation of the physical aspects lift generation to prove that no can be generated in steady inviscid flow. Hence, answer recurring question title is negative. In other words, fluid viscosity necessary generation. The relevant topics include D’Alembert’s paradox and drag, Kutta condition, force expression based on boundary enstrophy flux (BEF), vortex l...

The document describes an innovative way to assess the effectiveness of internal IT controls where the control framework is first captured in the models and then the models are used to analyse the evidence gathered from the IT environment. The aim is to lift the risk and control management lifecycle from a series of people based processes to one where model based technology enhances, connects a...

Similar to random sea waves, forces on the offshore structures due to waves are random. These forces can be mainly divided into two components, namely, inline forces and transverse or lift forces. The random nature of lift forces is more complicated than that of inline forces and both should be combined for design purposes. In the present paper, two different approaches have been used to determ...

Soft tissue defects in the genito-perineal region are predominantly because of trauma, infections, neoplasms or iatrogenic causes. As a result of the region's urological, reproductive and gastrointestinal function, defects in this area may cause devastating physical and psychological consequences as well as diminished sexual functioning. The purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy of ...

OBJECTIVE To test 4 previously published outcomes instruments (the Facelift Outcomes Evaluation, the Rhinoplasty Outcomes Evaluation, the Blepharoplasty Outcomes Evaluation, and the Skin Rejuvenation Outcomes Evaluation) in terms of their reliability and validity in assessing patient-related outcomes of surgical intervention. DESIGN A prospective pilot study of 78 patients in 3 similar privat...
