Transtemporal Midface Lifting to Blend the Lower Eyelid-Cheek Junction

The document outlines the transtemporal midface lift, a facial rejuvenation procedure targeting the lower eyelid-cheek junction, nasolabial folds, and jowling. It involves subperiosteal dissection, repositioning of midface tissues, and can include skin resurfacing and eyebrow elevation. The technique requires careful dissection to avoid nerve damage and may result in temporary postoperative effects like canthal distortion and chemosis. Complications are rare, with less than 1% revision surgery rate and temporary neuropraxia of the facial nerve in 1% of cases. The procedure is not primarily for jowling but does provide some improvement. Patient satisfaction is high when preoperative counseling and intraoperative techniques are carefully executed. The document does not provide specific patient numbers or statistical outcomes, focusing instead on the surgical technique and postoperative care.
