Gorney Face Lift Scissors 18 cm B/B (Cvd.)

The Gorney Face Lift Scissors 18 cm B/B (Cvd.) measure 18 centimeters in total length and feature a consistent arc curvature running from the screw-joint to both blunt tips. The double-beveled blade design includes a semi-sharpened outer edge on each blade, which lowers resistance as the instrument advances through layered facial tissue. Tips are flattened and tapered, a geometry developed to prevent buttonholing of the skin during rapid dissection. The instrument body is constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel with a satin finish that reduces glare under operating room lights. Two open ring handles provide stable finger placement throughout the procedure.

The curved blade arc allows the instrument to follow the contour of the face and neck without repeated wrist adjustment. Both tips remain blunt, protecting underlying vascular and nerve structures during deep subcutaneous passes. The screw-joint pivot holds consistent blade alignment across repeated opening and closing cycles. The Gorney Facelift Scissors are fully autoclavable and retain dimensional accuracy after repeated sterilization.

Facial plastic surgeons rely on the curved facelift scissors during cervicofacial rhytidectomy to develop subcutaneous skin flaps across the cheek, jowl, and neck regions. The standard dissection technique involves tensing the skin posteriorly and running the slightly spread blades forward to create tissue channels, then interconnecting those channels to release the flap cleanly. This method reduces operative time and minimizes traction injury to the subdermal plexus.

The instruments bearing the Leader Surgical name stand apart on the surgical tray, built to a standard that reflects years of focused investment in plastic surgery instrument manufacturing.

Why is the 18 cm length preferred for facelifts?
The 18 cm (approx. 7 inches) length is considered an “OR Grade” standard that provides an ideal balance between reach and control. It is long enough to reach deeper neck and facial planes while remaining short enough to offer the high tactile feedback required for delicate rhytidectomy procedures.
