In 25 random patients undergoing rhytidectomy, we did unilateral subplatysmal-fascial dissections of the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) of the face and neck--with redistribution of the tension of this system and fixation by suturing. Late evaluation of these patients by 3 observers showed no detectable difference in the results, as compared to the other side on which the standard technique of skin flap elevation alone was done. Our investigation did not study the usefulness of more extensive dissections of the muscle with complete transection excision of segments of it, or the formation of long muscle flaps.
在25例接受除皱手术的随机患者中，我们对面颈部的表浅肌肉腱膜系统（SMAS）进行了单侧颈阔肌下筋膜剥离——对该系统的张力进行重新分布并通过缝合固定。3名观察者对这些患者的后期评估显示，与仅采用标准皮瓣掀起技术的另一侧相比，结果没有可检测到的差异。我们的研究没有探讨对肌肉进行更广泛剥离并完全横断切除部分肌肉或形成长肌瓣的实用性。
