| description | Introduction: Facelift light represents a technique standardization to treat face and neck lower third, with lesser scars, SMAS plication in all patients, and adhesion points to reduce bruises. Moderate detachment allows the patient to return to their activities faster.
Methods: Surgery is performed after prior periauricular marking of all patients of the area to be detached and the skin's design to be removed. Anesthesia is local with sedation, and without the need for haircuts. Flap detachment, SMAS plication, adhesion points in the anterior and posterior flaps are performed, in addition to the internal suture by layers and liposuction of the subment when necessary. The dressing is compressive without using drains.
Results: One hundred and eighty-five patients underwent rhytidoplasty using this technique since 2014. Their age varied between 31 and 84 years, with an average of 55 years. Lymphatic drainage is performed after seven days, and after two weeks, a considerable reduction in edema has been observed.
Conclusion: Facelift light is a useful technique, simple to perform with reduced scarring and few complications, favoring the early return of patients to their activities. |
