Abstract
- Face-lift operations have been performed to correct the stigma of aging of the lower face, and its techniques have been modified to obtain more favorable results. However, the lack of significant improvements in the appearance of nasolabial folds has been a problem in face-lift procedures, requiring surgeons to perform ancillary procedures such as fat strip, dermofat, and superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) grafting to address the issue. In this report, we describe a subcision technique using a wire scalpel or a thread as an ancillary procedure to a face-lift operation to improve the appearance of nasolabial folds. The procedure is simple, safe, easy, and effective with minimal complications.
