Abstract
To explore an ideal procedure with more lasting aesthetic results by covering the orbicularis oculi muscles with the superficial temporal fascia flap in rhytidectomy, which can help to correct the crow's feet successfully. During rhytidectomy, dissection was performed subcutaneously and also under pericranium and superficial temporal fascia at temporal area. Then the superficial temporal fascia flap was formed by cutting between pericranium and superficial temporal fascia. The fascia flap was reversed to cover the lateral orbicularis oculi muscle with fixation. From May 2004 to May 2010, 18 cases were treated with a follow-up period of 6-12 months. The crow's feet was corrected better with long lasting results, compared with conventional rhytidectomy. No complication happened. The crow's feet can be corrected markedly with long lasting results by covering the orbicularis oculi muscles with the superficial temporal fascia flap in rhytidectomy.
