“…Still, human aesthetics are changing and varied and may have different desires for appearance at other times. Secondly, as we grow, the face changes due to exposure, expression, and the effects of gravity [8]. Firstly, those who understand cosmetic surgery may realise that some items are irreversible and almost all need to be repaired repeatedly to maintain perfection.…”

“…1,2 Surgical approaches for facial rejuvenation have evolved over the decades, from simple skin excisions to the more extensive dissections seen today. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Despite numerous variations, the modern face lift involves repositioning the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS), excision and redraping of the skin, and some degree of volume restoration with facial fat grafting. 19,20 A lack of consistent, standardized aesthetic outcomes and complications data have hindered meaningful comparisons among the techniques.…”

Background: Facial aging is a multifactorial process that affects each component of facial anatomy. The two general groups of face lift techniques are superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) elevation and SMAS manipulation. The purpose of this article is to describe and compare the advantages, disadvantages, and limitations of face lift techniques. Methods: A systematic review was performed to describe current outcomes evidence for face lift techniques. A subcohort of articles was selected for case-based analysis based on designated facial assessment criteria. Analysis was performed to determine the advantages, disadvantages, and limitations of each respective technique. Results: A total of 65 articles were selected for systematic review, of which 15 met criteria for case-based review. Patient satisfaction was found to be equivocal for various face lift techniques. Specific advantages and disadvantages for each face lift technique were dependent on the techniques’ approach to skin shift vector along with its degree of mobilizing superficial facial fat. Facial fat grafting was universally applicable for restoration of deep malar volume. Facial fat grafting was also used differently depending on the SMAS technique to address its specific limitations. Conclusions: The authors’ review confirms that there are many methods to obtain excellent outcomes in facial rejuvenation. Experienced surgeons are able to obtain consistent results through a variety of techniques based on understanding the aesthetic needs of the individual patient, the quality of the soft tissues being manipulated, and how to vary a specific technique to reach desired aesthetic end points.

Forehead Lifting: The Juxtapilose Subperiosteal Approach

Aging in the upper face becomes more evident as the eyebrow level descends. Sometimes this may begin at an early age. The senior author has described a limited approach for the treatment of this aesthetic alteration. In selected cases, the juxtapilose incision, placed laterally at the margin of the anterior hairline, allows for the subperiosteal undermining of the entire forehead and dissection of the elements that cause the descent of the eyebrow. The procedure is safe and expedient, and permits for a controlled repositioning of the eyebrow. In this paper, the authors describe the juxtapilose incision and the subperiosteal approach of the forehead as a practical ancillary procedure for correction of the aging face.
