Mastering Advanced Techniques in SubSMAS Facial Surgery: Volume 2

By L. Mike Nayak, MD, this comprehensive video series is designed to elevate the skills of experienced surgeons in the field of facial surgery. Volume 2 focuses on advanced techniques in subSMAS facial surgery, making it an essential resource for surgeons looking to refine their expertise.

Expert Guidance on Advanced SubSMAS/Subplatysmal Surgery

This volume provides in-depth coverage of advanced techniques, including:

• Safe identification and management of the contents of the submental and submandibular triangles, including subplatysmal fat, digastric muscles, mylohyoid muscles, and submandibular salivary glands.
• More aggressive deep neck dissection using both basic and advanced instrumentation.
• Extended subSMAS release of the lower face and midface fully to the modiolus.

Adjunctive Techniques for Enhanced Results

The volume also covers a range of adjunctive techniques to complement subSMAS facial surgery, including:

• The Viterbo gliding brow lift: a non-endoscopic, minimal incision, subperiosteal brow lift.
• Transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty.
• Lip lift.
• Fat transfer.
• CO2 laser resurfacing.

Auersvald’s Hemostatic Net Sutures: A Game-Changer in Hematoma Prophylaxis

Dr. Nayak demonstrates the use of Auersvald’s hemostatic net sutures, both as a standalone procedure for hematoma prophylaxis in a male neck and as part of the gliding brow lift.

Over 6 Hours of Operative Video and Beautiful Illustrations

The volume includes over 6 hours of operative video, showcasing the techniques and anatomy in stunning detail. Beautifully illustrated to demonstrate anatomy and technique, this resource is perfect for surgeons looking to hone their skills.

Four Comprehensive Case Studies

The volume presents four comprehensive case studies, each demonstrating the application of advanced subSMAS facial surgery techniques:

• Case 1: 55-year-old female patient – Minimal incision subperiosteal/subgaleal non-endoscopic brow lift, lower blepharoplasty, fat transfer, deep plane extended face lift, deep neck lift, rhinoplasty, lower eyelid CO2 laser resurfacing, and perioral filler.
• Case 2: 62-year-old female patient with previous upper blepharoplasty and pan-facial aging – Gliding brow lift, lower blepharoplasty, fat transfer, deep plane extended face lift, deep neck lift with submandibular gland reductions, lip lift, and full-face CO2 laser resurfacing.
• Case 3: 36-year-old female patient status post massive weight loss – Deep neck lift with submandibular gland reductions, facial fat rebalancing, and buccal fat reduction.
• Case 4: 28-year-old male patient 1 year status post rhinoplasty, chin implant, buccal fat reduction, submental liposuction, and Giampapa suture – Deep neck lift and lower blepharoplasty with fat transfer.

Each case study provides a detailed, step-by-step guide to the surgical techniques and strategies employed, making this volume an invaluable resource for surgeons seeking to master advanced subSMAS facial surgery techniques.
