Abstract 6. The Anatomic Implications of Utilizing Cannula Lipodissection and Avoiding Platysmaplasty in the Tumescent Facelift: A Clinical and Cadaveric Study

Purpose: The tumescent facelift utilizes Saldanha’s concept of cannula lipodissection, as opposed to wide undermining, to recruit soft tissue while preserving perforating neurovascular branches. The information herein is a clinical and cadaveric study examining the senior author’s technique for tumescent lipodissection in rhytidectomy
