Application of suspension of malar fat pad combining with traction suture of reducing tension step by step in face lift

Objective To explore an ideal surgical method for face lift of lower two-third face, especially for deepnasolabial fold and ptosis of oral commissure. Methods The first surgical step was undermining that was performed through the incision which were placed in hairline, anterior ear, and mastoid. It must extend beyond （distally） the furthest skin fold and be along the mandibular border or the midline of the neck. The malar fat pad was exposured and was repositioned in an upward and rearward direction,and was fixed on the SMAS. Then through traction suture of reducingtension step-by-step, lots of the tension was relieved from the suture line,and redundant skin was removed at the endof the procedure. So the soft tissues ptosis and the wrinkles were corrected. Results 16 cases were followed up for 6months to 2 years after operation. Satisfactory results were obtained without any complication. Scar is unconspicuous.Conclusion This method correct the ptosis of lower tow-third face, therefore it is an effective, safe and simple technique.
