Trans-inferior orbital rim anchorage and fascia roll multi-loop temporal anchorage in midface rejuvenation

Pierjean Albrecht, MD, PhD Marbella Clinic

Accepted 14 March 2006.

Background

A paradigm promoted for midface rejuvenation by Besins in his reverse and repositioning effect (RARE) technique considers 3 vertical sectors of the face. It relies on thread-based suspensions of the malar area and the orbicularis oculi with long cable suture forehead anchoring.

Objective

The author reports on the use of short cable suture anchorage points as an alternative suspension method that helps to avoid and/or correct asymmetry and ectropion.

Methods

An oblique malar elevation with short cable suture transorbital anchoring, in conjunction with a Hester-Flowers orbicularis oculi transzygoma anchoring technique, was performed using a new technique for fascia roll, multi-loop temporal anchoring and auricular tightening.

Results

A series of 295 patients have undergone the procedure since Spring 2002, with follow-up of up to 31 months. A strong oblique malar elevation, focused on nasolabial fold correction, eyebrow elevation, and better jaw definition, along with a natural appearance of the face were found to be stable over time.

Conclusions

Transorbital anchoring allows strong malar elevation and lower lid support for rejuvenation and correction of complications. It should be combined with a Hester-Flowers orbicularis oculi transzygoma anchoring technique and can be performed in conjunction with a fascia roll, multi-loop temporal lift, submental fat and partial submaxillary gland removal, and auricular tightening as part of a full face lift procedure.

Interview of Dr. PierJean Albrecht, Marbella Clinic, published in February 2007, Valentine edition of ESSENTIAL MAGAZINE. About Love.

“Keep young and Beautiful (if you want to be loved) was a song from a 1930s musical that has become a mantra for the modern age, keeping cosmetic surgeons in big demand from an increasingly younger clientele – some of them school age -  who think life will be rosier with firmer breast or a prettier face. Now, in an unprecedented new book to be published later this year, one leading member of the profession claims nothing could be further from the truth. Pier (pierjean) Albrecht of the Marbella Clinic, talked to Belinda Beckett about his theories on love, happiness and the beauty myth

To his patients, Dr. Pierjean Albrecht, Marbella Clinic, is more then a plastic surgeon. He is a magician whith the ability to turn frogs into princes, ugly ducklings into swans and even wind back the age clock. It is easy to see why, looking at  pre-surgery pictures of badly scarred, lined, jowly or flat-chested clients , and smooth-taut, pert results he achieves. There is only one problem – they all see him as a happiness doctor, able to transform their lives as well as their features, with a few deft incisions of his scalpel.

With skills acquired through 16 years of intensive training, Dr Albrecht  can certainly deliver sexier bodies and younger looks and he freely admits that a more toned or shapely physique and a fresher-looking face can work wonders for self-esteem. However – and he is probably the first member of his profession to say so in print -  aesthetic surgery is only of little help with the one thing that the majority of his clients desire, deep down, and that is, to be loved

“You can’t buy love with a facelift or breast augmentation any more than you can with a Ferrari or a Hermes handbag and yet, every day in my work, I see patients trying to pursue happiness only through physical improvements” he says. Out of a sense of professional responsibility, Dr. Albrecht (Pierjean) has  put into words what colleagues in his profession rarely talk about in public, “to reassure the younger generation in particular, that they must trust in their inner qualities, look inside themselves for the key to their happiness, and learn to give”

What began as a series of articles published in his own magazine “Transform-Magazine”, grew into a manuscript for a 240-pages book which took him three years to write, over weekends, and contains startling revelations, among them that:

– The majority of patients are not being honest when they say they want a procedure “just for themselves”

– Almost 100% of patients are unhappy in their romantic partnerships and think aesthetic surgery will be a quick fix.

– Lipossuction and/or breast augmentation have become popular 18th birthday gifts from parents to their children.

– Children as young as 14 years have sought lipossuction-with parental consent (It is Dr. Albrecht’s policy always to refuse this procedure to antone under 18).

His book covres Dr (Pierjean) Albrecht’s own formula for finding love and happiness, how cosmetic surgery can be used positively to achieve  realistic goals, and cites many poignant real-life cases, such as the 27-year-old disc jockey of 27 , who was thrown into a panic at the sight of the slightest line on his face for fear he would lose his teenage following, and consequently, his job. And there is also the story of an 18-year-old girl who was reduced tio tears by a plastic surgeon who told her: “No one could live with a nose like yours.” Seeking a second opinion from Dr (Pierjean) Albrecht, who explained that he could her cuter, but not more beautiful as she was good looking already, she went away with her nose, and self-belief intact.

“In today’s society, there is a huge pressure on young people to have the supermodels bodies or film stars looks in order to gain the approval and admiration of their peers,” says Dr (Pierjean) Albrecht. “Almost every client tells me they only want this for themselves, but this is not true. When I ask them if they would still go through plastic surgery if they lived alone on a desert island, the answer is NO. “

“The problem is that happiness depends on external factors over which we have little control. In theory, we could say that we can work hard to earn enough money to be happy, we can develop the necessary skills to seduce, we can improve our looks to find partners and we can take care of our physical fitness to preserve good health, but this is a false paradise. With money, beauty and health, we can seduce, but true love requires more. “

“Epicurus taught us that we should know how to distinguish between what will brings us happiness, and what makes us search indefintly for that happiness, which in the end becomes a source of dissatisfaction. These are desiresthat are difficult to achieve, such as glory, fame,  riches and power, rather than attainable things, such as enjoyement of the beauty of nature and the simple pleasures of life. “

“The paradox of our era is that we are aware of inner happiness, but develop more and more consumer products to achieve it, that are mere playthings and tools for pleasure, most of them contributing to global warming. The pursuit of health is replaced by an egocentric search for a  pretty and efficient body, the pursuit of happiness by the pursuit of fun, and the pursuit of love by the pursuit of sex. “

Dr. Albrecht’s own childhood has very much influenced his beliefs. He was brought up in the forests of the Vosges, near Strasbourg, where nature played a key role. “It was a beautiful place, where everything was in perfect harmony, but when I went out into the real world, the opposite was the case,” he said. “It made me think. Also my parents gave me total freedom and trust, there was love, but no rules. Naturally I made mistakes along the way, which also makes you think. I have been practicing meditation for the last 20 years. We should all take a long, honest appraisal of ourselves, it is very important in finding the inner peace we all seek, enabling us to enjoy life as free prople, not enslaved to our desires. Then we have more give to others “

“Those enslaving desires tiraniques arise from with the confusion of happiness with pleasure, which begins in the cradle”, says Dr (pierjean) Albrecht. “From the momentwhen  we cry for our mother’s milk, and are soothed when we are given it, we are aware of that feeling of satisfaction that causes us to confuse the gratifullfiled desire with happiness. Later in life the famous adrenaline comes into play . This fast-acting drug has a short-term effect. You constantly need more of it, because the very essence of pleasure is that it does not last. All magazines for men and women, carry articles on sex, but instead of promoting a couple’s successful sex life, through love and tenderness, they make people believe that it is a question of pure technique. You can have great sex with occasional partners, but it is a thousand times better if your body is in sync with your heart. It is about giving and sharing delicate feelings, rather than taking and keeping physical pleasure. “

Dr. Albrecht feels that young people in particular are losing their way.” They live in an unreal world with their iPods, and mobile phones and computer games that permit them to live a virtual life that is not theirs, where everyone looks like Lara Croft. They have more so-called pleasures than previous generations, but it is obvious that they are no happier. On the contrary, pleasure can be the ennemy of happiness, which can not be found through material possessions. Nature, birdsong, contemplating the sky, the clouds, the sea, there are things that can bring us moments of intense pleasure and happiness. And when it comes to finding love, there is a simple shortcut, you have to give love. Once you do that, you are so complete that you no longer need to seek love. Love comes as a gift,  on top of an already existing feeling of permanent happiness. Anyone who manages to love themself and others, without expecting anything in return and with compassion, comes closest to achieving their own personal and permanent happiness “

Although Dr.(pierjean) Albrecht has found much of that happiness through the rewarding relationships he shares with his patients, it is surprising that this good-looking, eligible bachelor has never chosen to marry. “My job is  demanding and I don’t want to make someone unhappy by never being there. ” he says. “However, I personally believe that, in any relationship, passion is best preserved by a little distance. When they first meet, couples are very enthusiastic about the qualities they share. It is not until they live together, facing life’s day to day problems, that they discover what they don’t have in common, and these dissimilarities can destroy a marriage. “

At 44, but looking 34, many may wonder wether Dr (Piejean) Albrecht is a selfportrait of his own art. In fact his youthful looks are genetically inherited, but he will certainly try his own procedures “when the time comes, and when I have time.” Generally, he recommends 30 as the best age for starting treatment, when the skin is more elastic. He studied medicine and general surgery, before branching into plastic aesthetic surgery, gaining a PhD CUM LAUDE, which allows him to teach and carry out research. He has developed many new techniques and written papers for leading medical jpublications such as the “Aesthetic Surgery Journal” last August, in which he describes an advanced but less invasive process, working on many details of the face to achieve more natural results with less visible scarring than for a standard facelift.

Being French, he naturally compares it with the fashion world . “It’s the difference between ready-to-wear clothes and haute couture – the secret is in the small details, rather than big cuts which can produce scary movie results. It is very fulfilling to be able to help people feel better about themselves. There is nothing wrong with taking advantage of today’s extraodinary techniques to look younger and sexier, but we must learn to use this “blessing” wisely and only  for the right reasons.

Dr. Pier (pierre) Albrecht – the “Botox”- Transform Magazine nº 4

Transform MagazineEditor: Dr Pierjean (Pier) Albrecht

Transform Magazine nº 4 , Dr Pierjean (pier) Albrecht: The Botox

Muscle relaxation for the forehead, glabella (between the eyebrows) & crow’s feet.

Botox has become so popular that it is not necessary to insist on using this wonderful tool for correcting the signs of aging. Its name comes from “botulinum toxina” which in its normal concentration is a poison, but which has been used for the past 25 years in neurology at a dosage of up to 200 times less than its normal concentration.

Botulinum toxin brings about muscular paralysis, blocking the transmission of nerve impulses to the neuromuscular junctions inside a structure known as a synapse. This localised paralysis does not spread into the body, and the nervous system forms new nerve sprouts within a few months. This means the effects of botulinum toxin are temporary.

The main applications are the paralysis, or rather the relaxing, of certain facial muscles used when gesturing, such as the forehead muscle which causes the forehead to wrinkle when it contracts, the orbicular muscle, which produces crows feet, the corrugator and procerus muscles that cause wrinkles in the glabella, or the space between the eyebrows.

untitled15.jpg

There are other applications, using the paralysis of the microfibres of the muscles to relax and improve the wrinkles on the upper and lower lips (commonly referred to as bar code lines), and also the platysma bands (cords that appear when the neck muscles contract and that remain as age progresses).

It is important to know that botulinum toxin has its successes, its failures and its limitations. It should be used for a limited period of time and after a certain age should no longer be used, passing to surgery to correct the loss of elasticity in the skin.

While it is true that it relaxes the muscles of gestural expression of the upper part of the face, it is also true that the face is left looking smoother, but without being able to move. Furthermore, depending on which injection technique is employed, you can raise the tail of the eyebrows, but the lift cannot be controlled 100% and it could end up giving what we call the “Mefisto look”, where the eyebrows take the shape of an inverted V giving an “evil” appearance.

Also, if the botulinum toxin is injected too close to the eyes, it can completely prevent the eyebrows being raised, giving the sensation of heavy and drooping eyes. The reason for this sensation is that during the course of our life, the upper eyelid has more skin and is heavier. Consequently, you open your eyes raise your eyebrows, which causes wrinkles on the forehead and makes the eyes look rounder.

Another limitation is the gradual appearance of wrinkles above and below the injection points of the crow’s feet. To understand this problem, you have to understand that the orbicular muscle of the eye, which is responsible for the crow’s feet, has the shape of a pair of round glasses from one to three centimetres in diameter. Meaning that if you repeatedly paralyse a limited section of this muscle, new wrinkles will gradually appear above and below the paralysed area.

When this happens, it is time to start thinking about a different method of correction, and specifically how surgery can help.

25 years ago, botulinum toxin was originally used to correct squinting, blocking the muscle controlling the eyes, and for the past 10 years, it has been used in the field of aesthetics. It has not been known to cause any serious problems.

As an expert witness to the court, I can say that the very few cases of complications that have been recorded around the world have been due more to the incorrect use of the product, rather than the product itself.

In fact, I would like to bring to the attention of everyone a dangerous practice that has originated in England, known as a “botox party”. This involves group sessions of botox injections, often performed in private houses by someone who is not professionally qualified.

Legally speaking, only a doctor can take responsibility for injecting any product, and nurses are also allowed to perform this under the responsibility of a doctor. People must understand that the problem does not lie in taking a syringe, perforating the skin and pushing the plunger, but rather with the product that is inside the syringe.

Any product with a pharmacological effect can, even though only on rare occasions, produce side effects and complications that only a doctor is qualified to treat. It is not worth taking the risk of trusting someone who has not undergone thorough medical training. Even though only one patient out of a million might have problems, it can happen to anyone.
