D’Assumpcao Face Lift Marker

D’Assumpcao Face Lift Marker – Precision Flap Marking for Rhytidectomy

The D’Assumpcao Face Lift Marker from Adas Instruments is a dedicated flap marking tool used in facelift (rhytidectomy) and neck lift procedures. By marking the dissected skin flaps before excision, this instrument helps surgeons determine the precise amount of skin to remove and reduces the need for guesswork during closure. The 8mm wide working end provides a stable contact area on the skin surface so markings remain consistent around the hairline, preauricular and postauricular regions when repositioning facial flaps.

Available in a 15cm (6 inch) length, the D’Assumpcao Face Lift Marker can be ordered with or without ratchet according to surgeon preference and technique. The ratchet option allows the jaws to lock gently on the flap edge while markings are made, while the non‑ratchet version offers free, smooth opening and closing. This marker works especially well when combined with fine tissue forceps for controlled flap handling and integrates easily into custom facial plastic surgery trays for facelift and neck lift procedures.

Design and features

The D’Assumpcao Face Lift Marker features a slim 15cm shaft with a working end approximately 8mm wide, designed to engage the skin flap securely while marking. Surgeons can choose between models with a ratchet mechanism for locking and non‑ratchet versions for free movement, depending on their preferred handling style. The instrument is made from surgical stainless steel with a smooth, easy‑to‑clean surface, and the handle profile is shaped for a comfortable grip when used together with forceps or other support tools. Its robust construction withstands repeated sterilization cycles without deforming the jaws or affecting marking accuracy.

Clinical applications

• Facelift (rhytidectomy) procedures where precise flap marking is required before excising redundant skin around the ears, hairline and neck.
• Neck lift surgery to help define and balance skin excision along the jawline and cervical region as part of facial rejuvenation.
• Secondary or revision facelift cases, where existing scars and tissue changes make accurate planning of flap removal especially important.
• Combined facial procedures, such as facelift with eyelid surgery or brow lift, where consistent markings support harmonious overall results.
• General facial plastic surgery applications that benefit from controlled flap grasping and repeatable skin markings before closure.
