Evolution of Technique: Face and Neck Lifting and Fat Injections

Plastic surgeons try to restore the youthful and beautiful appearance of their patients when performing facial and cervical surgical rejuvenation operations. Rhytidoplasty combined with pursing plication suspension sutures and lipoinjection offers us the opportunity to produce a stable, effective, and long-lasting tissular lifting of the face and neck, including jowls, malar fat pad, and cheeks, and correction of the melolabial sulcus. This combination of procedures also provides a three-dimensional aesthetic improvement in contour and volume and a short time of convalescence and recovery, and offers less risk for complications, especially in the facial nerves.
