Тhree–level face lifting
Abstract
Objective. To follow–up and to compare a quality of stabilization of covering tissues in middle zone of the face, using ultrasonographic investigations, in long time after performance of a three–level face lifting and classical SMAS lifting.
Маterials and methods. In the investigation 40 women–patients, ageing 42–70 yrs old, took part, in whom a face lifting was performed 5 – 8 yrs before. Investigation group consisted of 20 women, to whom three–level face lifting was performed, and a control one – 20 women, in whom face lifting was done in accordance to classic method.
Results. Median indices of the covering elements thickness in projection of the anchor points in women–patients in 5 – 8 yrs after classic face liftinghave constituted: B – 3.9 mm, D – 5.9 mm, H – 6.6 mm; after three–level face lifting operation: В – 4.8 mm, D – 8.5 mm, H – 6.6 mm.
Conclusion.Меthod of a three–level face lifting is indicated to the patients, suffering pronounced salient deformities of the face middle zone and depletion of the suborbital and cheekbone zones.
