Indications et resultats de la lipostructure^(R) dans la reparation et le rajeunissement de l'unite anatomique du front

Ann Chir Plast Esthet 54(2):10 (2009) PMID 19042069

Forehead is the most large anatomical unit of face. It includes forehead and anterior part of temple. Deteriorations of frontal anatomical units are numerous, ageing forehead has atrophy with eyebrow ptosis. In this work, we want to estimate contribution of lipostructure^(R) in repair and rejuvenation of frontal anatomical unit (FAU). We present seven cases of repair of FAU and three cases of rejuvenation of the forehead. Results are satisfactory, particularly about frontal band. Results are questionable about Lipostructure^(R) of temple. Applications of Lipostructure^(R) in plastic and aesthetic surgery of the forehead are huge. Lipostructure^(R) is the reference technique of volumetric filling. It is preferred to other techniques as flaps (pediculed or free) or materials, because it is a safe, easy and efficient technique, which permits large fillings. In aesthetic surgery, Lipostructure^(R) gives volume to eyebrow region and fills root of the nose. It can be used with injections of botulinum toxin A. Lipostructure of forehead takes part in rejuvenation of eye and nose. In conclusion, lipostructure^(R) is actually the major technique of filling with a large implication in plastic and aesthetic surgery of FAU.
