Facial Danger Zones

Avoiding Nerve Injury in Facial Plastic Surgery

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
super๎€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.
