About This Book

The second edition of Facial Danger Zones

Subperiosteal, extended sub-SMAS, deep plane, and composite rhytidectomy are all names that have been used to describe the current, more extensive operations for facial rejuvenation. Although these procedures provide superior results, they also involve deeper dissections with the potential for injury to the facial nerves. In order to avoid injury to these nerves, a thorough understanding of their locations is crucial for surgeons performing these operations.

Facial Danger Zones, 2nd Edition, by Dr. Brooke Seckel, provides the key to safety in these procedures. Drawing on his expertise in neurology and plastic surgery, Dr. Seckel has created a practical and beautifully illustrated color atlas to alert surgeons to the facial danger zones encountered in these deep plane face lifts. Divided into seven major facial danger zones, this clinical atlas takes each zone and graphically demonstrates the nerve and consequence of injury, the anatomic borders of each facial danger zone, and the techniques for safe surgical dissection.

If you are performing, or preparing for, the more extensive face-lift procedures, this book will help you avoid the surgical complications of facial nerve damage. It is a must for every plastic surgeon performing face lifts or any facial procedure.

Facial

danger

zone

1

includes

the

area

in

which

the

great

auricular

nerve

emerges

from

beneath

the

sterno-

cleidomastoid

muscle

to

become

more

supercial

and

susceptible

to

injury

when

dissection

is

performed

over

the

muscle.

The

great

auricular

nerve

originates

from

the

cervical

plexus,

branching

off

spinal

nerves

C2

and

C3.

It

provides

sensation

to

the

skin

on

the

parotid

area,

the

mastoid

area,

and

the

surface

of

the

outer

ear,

especially

the

lobule.

Permanent

injury

to

this

nerve

re-

sults

in

numbness

of

or,

in

the

case

of

a

neuroma,

painful

dysesthesia

of

the

lower

two

thirds

of

the

ear

and

adjacent

neck

and

cheek

skin

(Fig.

1A).

Another

unusual

but

troublesome

syndrome

is

that

caused

by

compression

of

the

nerve

by

a

nonabsorbable

suture

used

to

plicate

the

platysma-SMAS

to

the

mastoid

fascia.

This

can

result

in

painful

dysesthesia

of

the

ear,

which

can

be

induced

by

tapping

the

nerve

at

the

point

of

compression.
