Abstract:
Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of multipoint transfixion combined with filling of temporal fascia and the lateral orbicularis oculi muscle as an alternative rejuvenation technique on crow's feet wrinkles during face lift.Methods A retrospective review was conducted in 86 patients who underwent crow's feet wrinkles treatment during 2005 and 2009.During operation orbicularis' strength was broken down and blocked when we multi-pointly sutured and fixed the orbicularis oculi and deep tissue,temproal musculofascia was filled on the surface of multi-pointly sutured orbicularis oculi.By postoperative follow-up,complications,aesthetic outcome,and patient's satisfaction were recorded.Results In the group of 86 cases,50 cases were followed up from 3 to 28 months.The effect was lasting obviously and there was no any severe complications,such as hematoma or nerve injury.Patients were satisfied with their results.Among the total,2 patients appeared the temporary movement loss of the eyebrows in one side,but both recovered 3 months later.And 1 case appeared subcutaneous nodular inflammation and recovered after pulling out the suture.Conclusions The authors demonstrate that combination of filling with temporal fascia and the multipoint transfixion of lateral orbicularis oculi muscle is a safe technique,which may be a good alternative for periorbital rejuvenation and help in avoiding lower lid incisions or extensive dissections during face lifting in some cases.
