SERDEV

This technique is used to lift loose skin or flabby soft tissue for areas of the face, breasts, and buttocks. Traditional lifts require the surgeon to make large incisions, but with the Serdev Technique small incisions are made and using long internal sutures enables the surgeon to contour and shape the face and body without resorting to invasive and complex surgery. The Serdev Technique lifts the deep moveable tissue beneath the skin by anchoring it to non-moveable fibrous tissue resulting in a more natural and youthful appearance. The Serdev Technique is ideal for lifting the face, chin, eyebrow, buttocks and breasts. The Serdev Technique is much better than typical forms of suture suspension, which are more superficial and do not last as long. The “Curl Lift", "Life Style Lift ", "Contour Thread Lift", and "Feather Lift" are names for these superficial forms of suture suspension. However, these procedures do not last as long as lifts done u...

Aging Skin Anatomy SERDEV Lower face lifting techniques to repair the laxity and ptosis of tissues were submitted to invasive procedures with visible scars pre and retro auricular. Recently these techniques were replaced by more simple procedures. One of these is the scarless "Serdev Suture" liftings used in this case to restructure and reposition the “subdermal facial mask”. The idea of lower SMAS–platysma face-lift using semi-elastic long term absorbable sutures is to tighten and elevate the lower face and neck, together with facial soft tissues without unnecessary incisions. As we know that soft tissues and skin are attached to the SMAS and platysma, lifting and fixing them in better position, aims repositioning of other facial structures as well. In young patients where no real ptosis exist, heavy faces, not well expressed cheekbones, mandible arch, bad proportions, angles and sad look should be corrected. One cannot expect the same results from this techniq...
