Abstract

As we accept cosmetic surgery in to the norm of our society, patients strive to look younger and younger, it seems like they are reaching to capture eternal youth. This article reviews the impact anatomy of the face has on surgical correction. We will look closer at the history and advancements of various facelift techniques in aesthetic surgery. The surgical techniques are: the Subcoutanous
Face Lifts, the Superficial MusculoAponeurotic System (SMAS) method, the Deep plane method and Minimal invasive & Non-Invasive Methods. The Non-surgical techniques are: the Minimal Access Cranial Suspension Lift (MACS), the Volumetric Methods, Hyaluronic Acid (HA) fillers, and Autologous Fat Grafting. Finally, this review discusses potential postoperative complications that can happen after cosmetic face-lift surgery. There is debate over which approach is more favorable and future research is needed to better illustrate the best treatment options, which may very well be based on the patient themselves.

Abstract (croatian)

Kako prihvaćamo estetsku kirurgiju u normu našeg društva, tako pacijenti nastoje izgledati sve mlađe te se čini kao da hvataju vječnu mladost. Ovaj članak pregledava utjecaj anatomije lica na kirurške korekcije. Pobliže ćemo promotriti povijest i napredovanje raznih tehnika zatezanja lica u estetskoj kirurgiji. Kirurške tehnike su: subkutani liftovi lica, površinski mišićni aponeurotični sustav (SMAS), facial fascia level metoda i minimalno invazivne i neinvazivne metode. Nekirurške tehnike su: podizanje kranijalne suspenzije minimalnog pristupa (MACS), volumetrijske metode, injekcije hijaluronske kiseline (HA) i autologno premještanje masnoća. Naposlijetku, ovaj pregled govori o potencijalnim postoperativnim komplikacijama koje se mogu dogoditi nakon kozmetičke operacije lica. Postoji rasprava o tome koji je pristup povoljniji i potrebno je daljnje istraživanje kako bi bolje ilustrirale najbolje mogućnosti liječenja, koje bi se također mogle temeljiti i na samim pacijentima.
