BACKGROUND: Inadequate release of retaining ligaments during facelift surgery may lead to an unnatural appearance. However, most facelift surgeons are hesitant in transecting these ligaments to avoid possible injury to facial subbranches.
OBJECTIVES: In the authors' surgical practice for modified composite flap rhytidectomy, the authors employed the finger-assisted malar elevation (FAME) technique in order to enable safe release of the zygomatic cutaneous ligaments through the prezygomatic space under direct vision. The aim was to evaluate the anatomical basis and safety measures of this technique through a cadaveric dissection study.
METHODS: Modified composite-flap facelift with the FAME technique was carried out in 22 fresh cadaver hemi-faces. All facial nerve subbranches were dissected thoroughly to assess for any evidence of injury during facelift, and to evaluate the safety of the operation. The relations among the facial nerve, zygomatic cutaneous and masseteric ligaments, orbicularis oculi muscle, and malar fat pad were investigated.
RESULTS: Finger dissection of the prezygomatic space allows safe release of the zygomatic cutaneous ligaments as well as adequate entry to a proper surgical plane above the zygomatici muscles under direct vision, while leaving the malar fat pad and overlying structures attached to the skin without the need of a transblepharoplasty approach.
CONCLUSIONS: This study by the authors shows that a modified composite-flap facelift with FAME technique is a safe procedure that allows adequate and effective repositioning of an en-bloc composite flap that produces balanced and harmonious rejuvenation of the midface and lower face without the need of a separate midface lift.
