Planning of methods of surgical correction of soft tissues of the face and neck

https://doi.org/10.24835/1607-0763-1027

Abstract

Objective. Role of ultrasound examination in planning surgical correction of age-related changes of the face and neck soft tissues.

Methods. A prospective analysis of the study and treatment of 80 patients with involutive changes in the soft tissues of the face and neck who were carried out from 2018 to 2020 in the Mositalmed Clinic. The age of the patients ranged from 24 to 60 years. The mean age was 42 ± 6.89 years (± SE standard deviation mean). There were 67 female patients (83.7%), male patients – 13 (16.3%).

Results. The diagnostic value of ultrasound examination in involutional changes in the soft tissues of the face and neck for determining the causes of contour deformities is noted.

Conclusion. Ultrasound imaging in an upright position of the patient makes it possible to determine the degree of participation of each tissue in the formation of deformity, which is extremely important for planning various techniques for rejuvenating the face and neck.
