78 patients with Port wine stains (PWS) were treated by surgical method. The result showed that surgery is useful and effective. However, surgical scars are common and the skin grafts have more dark color than surrounding (if the skin grafts were required). So it must be very carefully in making a decision for surgery and choose a suitable method for each patient. The surgery is attempted to close local skin. And in case of the skin graft is required, it is better to take a full thickness skin graft in areas near to the face and neck.

Facial reconstruction is a way to recover facial morphology by restoring soft tissues based on unidentified skulls using the knowledge of anatomy, anthropology, aesthetics, and computer science. It is applied in forensic science, oral plastic surgery and archeology, and especially plays an important role in the identification of the origin of the unknown corpses in forensic science. Facial reconstruction is the supplementary means of identification when other approaches （such as DNA comparison, imaging matching, dental records comparison, etc.） cannot identify individual identity. Facial soft tissue thickness （FSTT） is the basis of facial reconstruction and with the development of imaging and computer science, the techniques for measuring FSTT are improving rapidly and many related researches have appeared. This paper summarizes the application of facial reconstruction in forensic science, the accuracy of different methods and the research progress of this field to provide reference to this field.

OBJECTIVETo introduce a safe, effective and lasting rhytidectomy technique without destroying the configuration of sideburn.

METHODSThe operation is performed through the coronal incision, the temporal incision that is paralleled to the nasolabial sulcus, and the preauricular incision in the sideburn. Multi-layer dissection of facial tissue is made.

RESULTS46 patients with aging face have been treated using this technique since 2002. All patients obtained good curative effects without any severe complications.

CONCLUSIONSThis operation technique may maintain the natural configuration of the preauricular area and sideburn, result obscure incision scar and avoid harming important nerves or vessels. Multi-layer dissection accords with anatomical principles and produces a lasting curative effect.
