Introduction: Multiple approaches and the use of different surgical strategies seem to contribute to the goal of obtaining more satisfactory outcomes in rhytidoplasty. In light of this, liposculpture has been progressively becoming more relevant as an alternative to improve those outcomes, adding greater final aesthetic value to the procedure.
Objectives: To evaluate outcomes obtained in patients who underwent the association of rhytidoplasty and facial liposculpture.
Methods: Fourteen patients underwent classical Pitanguy rhytidectomy associated with liposuction in specific areas of the face, having been subsequently followed up for 12 months. Seventeen volunteers used the Antell & Orseck method to evaluate the postoperative outcomes.
Results: Of the 14 patients evaluated, 9 (64.2%) were classified as having experienced excellent outcomes, while 3 (21.4%) had moderate outcomes, and 2 (14.2%) had poor outcomes. None of the patients experienced outcomes rated as perfect or undesirable.
Conclusions: Rhytidoplasty associated with facial liposculpture is an important alternative for the treatment of facial aging, leading to satisfactory, safe and long lasting results.
