• Abstract:

  The interest in minimally invasive aesthetic procedures performed in an outpatient setting has increased considerably in recent years, due to the low risk of complications, the possibility of returning to work activities and the improvement in self-esteem with the rejuvenation of the face that has suffered from ptosis over the years. This work aims to demonstrate the association of two techniques of tissue repositioning and face restructuring: SMAS suspension by temporal access and the 3S technique of verticalization of the face. For this study, a 72-year-old female patient, who had never undergone any aesthetic procedure before, who wanted an improvement in her appearance without the need for surgical intervention, was selected. Their immediate degree of satisfaction was achieved, demonstrating that this procedure is an alternative for rejuvenating the face, in a natural, safer way and with a short recovery period.
