RESUMEN
La disminución del volumen de la estructura esquelética de la cara ocasiona flacidez de todos los elementos que se apoyan sobre ella y es una de las causas más importantes de su caída. Dado que no contamos con un recurso efectivo para lograr la recuperación del volumen óseo, lo indicado es restaurar la relación entre las partes blandas y el volumen óseo vigente. Ésta es la meta más importante de la ritidectomía subperióstica. Describimos la aplicación de este procedimiento miniinvasivo para la restauración de la región frontal. Se describen las metas y medios para realizarlo por vía frontal, transpalpebral y combinando ambas vías, así como los procedimientos auxiliares asociados, los detalles del manejo posoperatorio, las complicaciones, las observaciones resultantes de nuestra experiencia con este método a lo largo de 10 años y la razón de que actualmente sea nuestro procedimiento de elección.
ABSTRACT
Reduction of the bony structure of the face is the main reason for flabbiness and drooping of the facial soft tissues. Because we do not currently have recourse to restore the lost bony volume, a good possibility is to reestablish an optimal relationship between the soft tissues and the present bony volume. Based on this principle, we have developed the procedure of mini-invasive subperiosteal facial restoration. In this paper we describe the application of this procedure to restore the frontal region. The maneuvers and instrumentation used to perform this procedure through frontal, palpebral or the combination of both approaches are described. Based on the surgical anatomy, orientation and instructions for obtaining the goals of the procedure and to avoid complications are elucidated. Ancillary procedures that may be associated with this procedure are described, as well as detailed postoperative care. Observed complications are noted and a summary of the obtained results, which have shown a high degree of patient and surgeon satisfaction, are reported. Observations from our experience with this method during a 10-year period and the reasons for this being the procedure of our first choice are revealed.
