Abstract :

The author describe 17 years experienced in the application of a new and simple method of facial cutaneous detachment using specially designed bi-faceted rigid steel wands called â�?�?Dilson Luz Vascular Dilation Wands�?®â�?. These wands considerably reduce the bleeding during face-lift surgery, reducing both post-operative hematomas as well as the risk of facial nerve injury. This technique â�?�?Progressives Tunnelizationsâ�?�? involves stretching the blood vessels to the point of rupture by inserting progressively larger wands. At the point of rupture, a spontaneous coagulation within the vascular extremities occurs. This is due to a significant blood platelet migration induced by the stimulation from the rupture of the vascular intima. The wands vary in dimension from 1.5 to 20 mm and the more larger were used for cutaneous facial complete detachment and the more fine to perform tunnels. A method which we found to result in minimal bleeding across the detached surface as well as an excellent perfusion of the over lying skin. With this new technique, we have obtained improved cutaneous detachment, reduced postoperative swelling, edema and ecchymosis; prophylaxis of facial nerve damage and/or late postoperative hematoma formation. The fat grafts with active platelets always performing the face lift.
