Abstract:
Objective:To explore the rejuvenation effect of SMAS (Superficial musculoaponeurotic system) multi-vector suspension in the face and neck.Methods:From December 2019 to March 2023, the Plastic Surgery Department of the Plastic Surgery Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences implemented 34 cases of cheek rhytidectomy and 10 cases of cheek andneck rhytidectomy. Following general anaesthesia, liposuction is performed on the cheek and mandibular margins, and incisions are made anterior and posterior to the ear. At the end of the subcutaneous dissection, the SMAS in the region of the parotid gland is separated, and the SMAS is then secured by purse string multi-vector suture suspension. Intheend, excess skin is removed and the incision is reduced in tension.Results:All patients underwent successful surgeries and were satisfied with the postoperative follow-up results. The sagging soft tissues were effectively repositioned, resulting in natural facial and neck lift. There were no serious complications such as facial nerve injury, subcutaneous hematoma, incision infection, or skin flap necrosis.Conclusions:The utilization of MAS multi-vector suspension can significantly improve the relaxation of cheek and neck tissue, with fewer complications and satisfactory rejuvenation effect.
