[Deep vertical facelift. Development of a concept].

An optimal result with minimal surgery is expected by our patients. The concept of deep layer rhytidectomy is based on the simultaneous vertical "en bloc" elevation of skin, fat and the SMAS. The extended undermining of this facial flap is so effective that it allows a simplification of the lifting reducing the subcutaneous undermining to one fourth of what is achieved in a standard face lift, eliminating the anterior platysmaraphy. Length of procedure is divided by two. Three hundred forty patients have undergone surgery according to this simplified procedure and we will show how "our" technique becomes soft.

Aged

[Deep "en bloc" facial lift].

As described by Hamra, the concept of deep face lift differs from the double face lift with SMAS in that it raises "en bloc" all of the elements which contribute to ageing of the face. As this is largely achieved in a virtually avascular plane, the postoperative course is considerably accelerated and it provides a solution for the nasolabial fold and the malar pouch.

Surgical correction of the "turkey neck" defect.

A technique of double-layered face-lifting has been used with 143 consecutive patients over the past 5 years for correction of the "turkey neck" condition. This procedure offers a satisfactory, long-lasting solution to this heretofore untreatable condition.
