Vasoconstrictor for facelifting.
In 150 patients both sides of the face underwent facelifting surgery with the local infiltration of 2% solution of ornithine 8 vasopressin which caused good surgical hemoconstriction, gave a satisfactory early postoperative period, and better results than those obtained with other solutions previously used. This series involves the use of a diluted solution compared with that usually recommended.
