This study reviews the overall outcome of 78 patients undergoing a short-flap facelift with laser-assisted lipolysis using a continuous-wave 924/975-nm diode laser.
Seventy-eight patients undergo treatment of lipolysis and facelift using the traditional platysmaplasty technique along with continuous-wave 924/975-nm diode laser-assisted lipolysis. A combination of 3D and 2D photographs is used from before, 6 weeks after, and 6 months after the procedure to judge the overall improvement in the cervicomental angle and the patient's general appearance. The Cervicomental Scale and the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale Assessments, respectively, are used among a professional panel of three judges to determine improvement.
Elevated flap, continuous-wave lipolysis showed remarkable improvement in patients base on the CAS and GAIS judging system. Ninety-five percent of patients showed improvement on CAS and 100% of patients showed improvement on GAIS when 6 months had passed after time of procedure.
The use of a continuous-wave 924/975-nm diode laser shows remarkable effectiveness in lipolysis of the sensitive jowl and neck area. Flap elevation serves as an important technique in assuring safety during procedure. This dual-wavelength laser presents a revolutionary advance in performing facelifts and lipolysis in higher BMI patients.
本研究回顾了78例接受连续波924/975纳米二极管激光辅助脂肪分解的短瓣面部提升术患者的总体结果。
78例患者采用传统的颈阔肌成形术技术，同时结合连续波924/975纳米二极管激光辅助脂肪分解进行脂肪分解和面部提升治疗。在手术前、术后6周和术后6个月使用3D和2D照片组合来判断颌颈角和患者整体外观的总体改善情况。由三名专业评委组成的评审团分别使用颌颈量表和全球美学改善量表评估来确定改善情况。
根据CAS和GAIS评判系统，在提升皮瓣、连续波脂肪分解的患者中显示出显著改善。术后6个月时，95%的患者在CAS上显示出改善，100%的患者在GAIS上显示出改善。
连续波924/975纳米二极管激光在敏感的下颌和颈部区域脂肪分解中显示出显著效果。皮瓣提升是确保手术过程中安全的一项重要技术。这种双波长激光在为较高体重指数患者进行面部提升和脂肪分解方面带来了革命性进展。
