PURPOSE: Large defects in the face resulting from the excision of malignant tumors, trauma, and congenital malformation pose a significant challenge to reconstructive surgeons. Achieving good esthetic and functional outcomes is often very demanding.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: A facelift technique was used in 47 patients (25 female, 22 male; age range, 17.5 to 82.3 years; mean age, 49.3 years) to replace lost tissue of the face from 2009 through 2012. The minimum defect size was 2 cm in diameter and the maximum was 8 cm. To achieve tension-free coverage with a reliable blood supply, a deep-plane dissection, including the skin and superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS), was performed. The deep sub-SMAS dissection was extended into the neck and the contralateral part, as needed. A thick flap was created and composite lifting was performed.
RESULTS: No significant deformity concerning the lower eyelids, nose, and lip was registered. Most scars could be placed in hidden regions and became undetectable after a year. The facial nerve function remained intact in all patients.
CONCLUSION: Using these facelift techniques, including the incision, sub-SMAS dissection for volumetric positioning of the skin, and the SMAS flap, the closure of extensive facial defects with excellent functional and esthetic results is conceivable.
