Vertical Temporal Lifting: A Short |
37 |
Preauricular–Pretrichal Scar |
John Camblin
37.1 Introduction
The cosmetic surgery patient is interested in beautification with minimal scarring and minimal time away from work and social schedule (Figs. 37.1–37.6). Most cosmetic face-lift surgeries have large or visible scars that patients do no want. Recovery from surgery takes days to weeks. Patients wish to return to work or socialize as soon as possible. The technique of a short preauricular–pretrichal scar that is preceded by liposuction of the face and neck gives satisfactory results in a simple manner and with a rapid surgical time.
The simple procedure is done under local anesthesia with or without intravenous sedation. Liposuction of the facial areas is first performed. An incision is made along the superior preauricular area and extended into the pretrichal part of the temporal region. The skin is dissected to the corner of the mouth and the excess that is obtained by strict vertical traction is resected. Three dermoaponeurotic sutures of a nonabsorbable thread involving the malar, jugal, and temporal areas are placed and tied, giving a more lasting result. A fine cross-stitch suture is used to close the skin. This suture is removed in 3 weeks.

37.3 Conclusions |
The patients have the facial aging stigmas that usually necessitate a conventional face-lift (Figs. 37.7–37.18). However, the vertical temporal lifting with a short temporal scar gives the same result and perhaps a more natural look than a classical lifting described by Rees [1] or a sophisticated, but dangerous face-lift, described by Hamra [2].
This technique is a great asset compared to aesthetic medicine. On the first postoperative day there is cosmetic result of a classical face-lift with minimal surgical care (Figs. 37.19 and 37.20), while aesthetic medicine necessitates several injections to be given to the patient, resulting in an artificial appearance that does not last.

Fig. 37.5 A short pretrichal incision is done in front of the temporal scalp, around the sideburn and stopping above the tragus. Three sutures of nonabsorbable threads are placed at the malar, jugal, and temporal regions. This gives a good dermoaponeurotic joining
