A new scaffold for facelift healing
This trial is testing a new material (a scaffold) that may help support the skin and improve healing after a facelift. It is for people who are already scheduled for a facelift at UT Southwestern and are generally healthy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- You have a facelift (rhytidectomy) scheduled at UT Southwestern with Dr. Kenkel
- You are willing to come back for follow-up visits
- You have not had an allergic reaction to tetracycline or kanamycin antibiotics
- You do not have significant scarring on the surgery area
- You do not have a medical condition that would slow down wound healing

This trial tests a medical mesh/scaffold (GalaFLEX LITE™) used during revision surgery to help treat capsular contracture, where scar tissue tightens around a breast implant. It may improve comfort and the appearance of the breast after implant augmentation problems.
This study tests a new device that processes your own fat for use in facial fat grafting. It may help improve the results of the procedure for facial volume loss.
This trial tests a temporary implant made from poly-L-lactic acid (a commonly used material) to smooth moderate to severe smile line wrinkles. Researchers want to see if it works and is safe.
This trial tests the safety and performance of a special “elastic thread” treatment used to lift facial drooping (mild to moderate ptosis) in people who may or may not have had prior cosmetic treatments. You may benefit by getting the study treatment, but you would need to follow the visit schedule and rules of the study.
This study tests a special fiber mat called Restrata that is placed in the wound after skin cancer removal to help it heal. The mat acts as a scaffold for new skin growth and may help close the wound without needing a skin graft.
This study tests a new dressing called Microlyte DualGuard for the spot on your thigh where healthy skin is taken to help heal another wound. The dressing contains silver and gallium to help prevent infection and promote healing.
