Hs. Byrd et Se. Andochick, THE DEEP TEMPORAL LIFT - A MULTIPLANAR, LATERAL BROW, TEMPORAL, AND UPPER FACE LIFT, Plastic and reconstructive surgery, 97(5), 1996, pp. 928-937
An extended brow upper facelift technique employing a multiplanar, tem
poral approach is described. Fresh cadaver dissections are utilized to
demonstrate the anatomic basis of the approach. A complete mobilizati
on of the orbital portion of the orbicularis oculi muscle away from th
e orbital rim is described. Release of the malar orbicularis (zygomati
c cutaneous ligament) above the zygomaticus major muscle and over the
origin of the masseter muscle is emphasized. Indications and patient s
election are reviewed and the clinical benefit to the brow, lateral ca
nthus, lower lid, and malar orbicularis cheek pad is demonstrated in d
ifferent patient groups.
