Facial aging changes due to increased skin laxity as well as soft tissue atrophy and decent lead to blunting and distortion of previously well-defined zones of the face and neck. A critical component of re-establishing a youthful appearance during facelift and neck lift surgery is restoring a well-defined mandibular contour. Key principles of jawline refinement include the addition of volume to deficient areas and removal of volume in areas of unwanted fullness to re-establish facial harmony in the lower face and neck.

Background: Hematomas are consistently cited as the most common complication of facelift surgery, with reported incidence rates ranging from 1% to 9% despite preventative measures. A self-assembling RADA16 peptide solution (PuraSinus, 3-D Matrix, Newton, MA) designed to aid in wound healing, adhesion prevention, and bleeding control has demonstrated hemostatic control of intra- and postoperative bleeding associated with various surgical procedures, including nasal and sinus surgery.

Objectives: To report surgical experience using novel application of RADA16 hemostatic agent in facelift procedures. Read More

Objectives: Branchial cleft cysts (BCCs) are common in daily practice, however, BCC patients suffer aesthetic problems due to postoperative scars on visible parts after surgery. To analyze the feasibility, surgical outcomes and possible risks and complications encountered during a facelift procedure for patients with BCC.

Methods: This retrospective analysis examined patients who had undergone surgery for branchial cleft cyst using a facelift procedure (n = 16) or conventional transcervical resection (n = 20) at our institutes between April 2015 and August 2021. Read More

 In recent years thread lift has become widespread; however, existing methods need to improve their long-term outcome, which requires considering topographic anatomy of face and neck, especially the ligamentous apparatus. This study aims to assess the effectiveness and safety of an innovative method of one-time three-step thread facelift, which provides an additional support to the ligamentous structures of the upper, middle, and lower thirds of the face and neck.  The study included 357 patients aged 32 to 67 years with various morphotypes of aging.
