The PAVE (peeling-assisted volume enhancing) lift – a retrospective 6-year clinical analysis of a combined approach for facial rejuvenation

Abstract The peeling-assisted volume enhancing (PAVE) lift is a single-stage approach that combines SMAS-plication techniques with fat grafting and different peeling agents. To evaluate the safety of this approach, we analysed the records of 159 patients that underwent surgery between 2008 and 2014....

Description
Summary:Abstract The peeling-assisted volume enhancing (PAVE) lift is a single-stage approach that combines SMAS-plication techniques with fat grafting and different peeling agents. To evaluate the safety of this approach, we analysed the records of 159 patients that underwent surgery between 2008 and 2014. The percentage of complications observed was not higher than values reported in the literature for each treatment entity ( surgical facelift : n=3 haematomas (1.89 %), n=2; temporary apraxia of the mandibular branch (1.26%)); fat transfer : minor asymmetry in n=5 cases (3.14%); peeling : temporary hyperpigmentation in trichloroacetic acid (n=5; 3.8%) and phenol peels (n=4; 3.1%), permanent hypopigmentation (n=6; 5.6%), formation of skin miliae persisting longer than 2 to 3 months (n=5; 4.6%) and prolonged erythema (n=3; 0.28%) in phenol peels. The single-stage use of chemical peels, autologous fat transfer and surgical rhytidectomy was safe.
