Abstract

A panel of experts in facial plastic surgery procedures respond to questions regarding their approaches, techniques, outcomes, and overviews of specific procedures. Surgeons address cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries in Rhinoplasty, Revision Rhinoplasty, Facelift, Midface Lift, Chemical Peels, Laser Resurfacing, Lip Augmentation, Mandible Fractures, Subcondylar Fractures, Facial Reanimation, Injectables and Fillers, and Fat Grafting. This is one of a two-volume presentation that continues with topics addressing Neuromodulators, Hair Replacement, Upper Face Rejuvenation, Blepharoplasty, Le Fort Fractures, Implants, and Auricular Deformities.

Chapter 1. Facial Fillers: Discussion and Debate 245
Are there different indications for the different fillers? 245
In your opinion, what are the durations of the various fillers? 249
Is there still a role for the use of collagen injections? 251
What complications concern you and what do you do in your practice to attempt to avoid or minimize these? 252
What type of anesthesia do you use, when, and why? 256

Chapter 2. Fat Grafting: Discussion and Debate 265
With the increase in alloplastic injectables, is fat grafting dead? 265
Where do you think fat grafting fits in compared with the injectable implants? 266
Do you do grafting and injectables in some patients? If so, give examples 268
How do you harvest and prepare fat for injection? Do you think that the process chosen impacts longevity of the grafts, and how long does fat last in your experience? What percentage usually takes in each site, and does the source or the site injected make a difference in this regard? 268
What areas of the face are most amenable to fat grafting, and how much fat should ideally be injected into each site? 271
Analysis: Over the past 5 years, how has your perspective evolved or what is the most important thing you have learned/observed regarding fat grafting? 272

Chapter 3. Facelift: Panel Discussion, Controversies, and Techniques 279
Who is not a candidate for facelift? 279
Of the various approaches to facelift, do any truly add advantages to an SMAS technique (ie, deep plane facelift)? 282

Which, if any, face-lifting techniques have been proved to provide the longest lasting result? 286
To start, develop, and maintain a busy face-lifting practice, is it necessary or even beneficial to offer some sort of minimalist facelift procedure (ie, short scar) or even a noninvasive substitute procedure? 289
Analysis: Over the past 5 years, how has your technique or approach changed or what is the most important thing you have learned in performing facelifts? 296

Chapter 5. Mandible Fractures: Discussion and Debate 347
Is rigid fixation essential for the treatment of angle fractures, or is a single plate along the superior border sufficient? 347
Does the presence of teeth in the fracture line (particularly the third molar in angle fractures) contribute to stability of the fixation, or is it a nidus for infection? 350
What is the role of postoperative antibiotics? Are they always necessary? 352
There seems to be a recent trend toward repairing mandible fractures without applying MMF. Do you believe that applying MMF is an important part of mandibular fracture repair? If you do not use MMF in all cases, how do you decide which cases require intraoperative and/or postoperative MMF? Do you believe that the techniques/methods of applying MMF make a difference? 354
How do you manage edentulous mandible fractures? 355

Chapter 6. Subcondylar Fractures 365
Are there specific indications for open versus closed treatment of subcondylar fractures? Are there any contraindications to open treatment, and do they supersede the indications for open treatment? 365
Does the presence of other fractures (mandible or midface) affect your choice of open versus closed treatment? (Is the selection of closed vs open treatment the same for unilateral vs bilateral fractures?) 371
