New methods for centro-facial rejuvenation

Abstract

Thomas Haffner,Katalin Berger

Centro-facial structures, such as the midface and the orbital with the periorbicular region are the main regions, in that aging with tissue weakness and depletion arise first. Early changes by aging are characterised by tissue depletion and ptosis, which are focused on orbital and the midface. Jawline is not caused by sunken lateral facial portions, but can cause down sliding of tissues from mid face towards the jawline. The result is Jawline and deepening of nasolabial folds. The skeletonisation of the lower lid and arcus marginalis give an effect of hollow eyes with dark circles which are the typical signs of midface ptosis. Objectives: The authors show the limitations of old fashioned cosmetic rejuvenations such as a classical lower lid blepharoplasty, conventional facelift or brow lift procedures. According to their experience of more than 20 years in facial plastic surgery they developed sophisticated new methods for all centro-facial portions, for the brows and foreheads, for the upper-and lower lid and for the midface too.
