Stretching and tissue expansion for rhytidectomy: an improved approach.
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery 1989 October
Intraoperative expansion of the skin of the face supplies additional tissue that permits closure of the face lift incision with minimal tension. This paper presents the findings in rhytidectomy patients over the last 3 years using both intraoperative stretching and intraoperative stretching combined with tissue expansion utilizing the Man face lift expander. Sixty-seven patients underwent rhytidectomy surgery, of whom 50 were treated with stretching techniques alone and 17 were treated with the combined stretching and expansion method. The patients' ages ranged from 28 to 78 years. Results indicate that the patients treated with combined stretching and expansion had significantly more skin removed. This new technique appears to offer significant clinical advantages over usual face lifts.
