1 José Guerrerosantos, MD Dr. Guerrerosantos, Guadalajara, Mexico, is Chairman and Professor, Graduate School of the University Center of Health Sciences, University of Guadalajara; and a member of the Mexican ssociation of Plastic, esthetic and Reconstructive Surgery. The author contends that to obtain the best contour in the cheek, mandibular border, and upper neck in older patients, it is advantageous to extirpate one or two portions of oral mucosa in addition to removing the buccal fat pad. These combined procedures will effectively lift the sagging oral soft tissues. (esthetic Surg J 2007;27: ) Studies and reports have been written on the role of flaccidity and excess oral mucosa combined with hypertrophy and buccal fat pad ptosis in the development of facial bulk in the inferior lateral area of the face at the level of, and below, the mandibular border. Likewise, surgical techniques have been reported on correction of the jowl. However, some surgeons do not address the issue of facial bulk in primary rhytidoplasty and, frequently, jowling may persist after a face lift. Removal of the buccal fat pad to improve contour of the cheeks, mandibular border, and neck has been reported in multiple articles. 1-8 Some surgeons, when combining extirpation of the buccal fat pad and rhytidoplasty, prefer to remove the buccal fat pad through a cheek incision in the SMS near the buccinator muscle after the cheek flap has been undermined. Other surgeons prefer intraoral removal through an incision in the oral mucosa. I am convinced that to obtain the best contour in the cheek, mandibular border, and upper neck in older patients, it is advantageous to extirpate one or two portions of oral mucosa at the same time as buccal fat pad removal. 9 Here, I will present surgical techniques that I have used successfully for the past 27 years in primary and secondary rhytidoplasty to correct the jowl and avoid its recurrence. Surgical Technique uccal fat removal can be performed alone or in combination with rhytidoplasty. If the procedures are performed simultaneously, perform the intraoral procedure after the rhytidoplasty has been completed to prevent infection from oral contamination. First, locate the parotid duct papilla protruding from the mucosa of the cheek, facing the maxillary second molar. Using brightly colored ink, mark the circular edges of the parotid duct papilla. Then draw two semicircles on the oral mucosa, ranging from 3 to 7 2 cm, around the parotid duct papilla (Figure 1). The measurements of the semicircles will vary, depending on the deformity of the jowl. efore surgery, evaluate the amount of oral mucosa to be. nesthesia may be local or general; I prefer combining local infiltration with intravenous sedation. Perform the incisions after infiltrating the local anesthetic, anesthetizing external areas of the upper and lower lips so you can move them easily, and have a clear view of the operating field inside the patient s open mouth. Ten minutes after infiltration of the oral mucosa, with the epinephrine acting as a vasopressor, excise both semicircles of oral mucosa, including some buccal glands and fibers of the buccinator muscle, which may be hypertrophic. With a hypertrophic buccinator muscle, the buccal fat pad herniates into the oral cavity through the upper semicircle; you can then remove it by gentle maneuvers (Figure 2). Usually, I extirpate two thirds of the buccal fat pad, taking great care to control the amount of excision. I use magnification as an aid in extirpating the oral mucosa, buccal fat pad, and some buccinator muscle fibers to prevent damaging branches of the buccal nerve that have motor action. I use electrocoagulation to achieve hemostasis. fter visualizing the ligament of the buccal fat pad that is attached to the subcutaneous layer of the mandibular border, apply a plication, taking a bite in the ligament and another bite in the buccinator muscle, which is located in the upper part of the semicircle (Figure 3). When you make the knot to tie the, raise the subcutaneous layer of the mandibular border. 4 Consequently, this raises the jowl. fter checking for hemostasis, close the wounds on each side, using 4-0 absorbable interrupted s. To achieve the best aesthetic result when the jowl is very bulky, suction the subcutaneous fat layer of the mandibular border and upper neck, using an extraoral esthetic Surgery Journal ~ May/June

The dressing also diminishes local postoperative pain and provides an agreeable sensation of comfort and security. Discussion Plastic surgeons have demonstrated interest in the surgical treatment of cervicofacial deformities caused by senility, describing their treatment of cutaneous skin and fat tissues, muscles, fascia, and bone ,17-20 In 1997, Manjarrez and I reported on an alternative method for rejuvenating and recontouring the cheek and jowl, involving removal and lifting of the oral mucosa. 4 efore using intraoral meloplasty with simultaneous resection of the oral mucosa and buccal fat pad, we only the buccal fat pad in some patients. lthough we reduced cheek volume with buccal fat pad removal, we could not rejuvenate and raise the cheeks or jowl. It is important to consider the anatomic relationship of the buccal fat pad to the subcutaneous fat of the lower cheek and jowl. These areas are united by the buccal fat pad ligament described by Guerrerosantos and Manjarrez and Cortes, in and by Stuzin et al 5 in 1992 who refer to these as the masseter ligaments (Figure 7). In the senile cheek or protruded oral mucosa, these structures push out the buccal fat pad, which in turn pushes out the subcutaneous fat layer of the lower cheek and jowl, forming an undesirable bulkiness. 334 esthetic Surgery Journal ~ May/June 2007 Volume 27, Number 3

7 I began to think about removing oral mucosa when I observed (at presurgical evaluations) the improved contour and cheek appearance in some patients when I asked them to compress the oral tissues within their teeth. y removing the oral mucosa and buccal fat pad simultaneously, this pressure is released, and the bulkiness disappears from the cheek and jowl, aesthetically improving the cheek and mandibular border. Freeman 20 reported that patients with unilateral facial paralysis have recurrent buccal infection and necrosis after chronic mucosal biting. He suggested excising the redundant, hypertrophic, and frequently edematous oral mucosa in a spindle and leaf shape to correct mucosal and buccinator muscle sagging. This procedure, used for reconstructive surgery, has the same purpose as the intraoral meloplasty: lifting of sagging oral soft tissues. Conclusion Removal of excess and flaccid oral mucosa can be performed alone or in combination with buccal fat pad removal and rhytidoplasty. These combined procedures provide an excellent opportunity for rejuvenating, recontouring, making the cheeks thinner, and lifting the jowl. I have treated 123 patients with this procedure, including 77 older patients and 36 younger patients (Figures 4 to 6). In young people with chubby cheeks, I remove the buccal fat pad only; it is not necessary to remove the oral mucosa because it is not flaccid. References 1.
