Rees Face Lift Scissors 17 cm B/B (Str.)

The Rees Face Lift Scissors 17 cm B/B (Str.) measure 17 centimeters in overall length and feature straight blades with blunt tips on both ends. The instrument is constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel, giving it a satin finish that reduces glare under operating lights. Both blades run parallel without curvature, allowing surgeons to move through subcutaneous planes in a consistent, controlled direction. The screw-joint pivot sits centrally between two symmetrical ring handles, offering a stable grip with minimal torque during repetitive opening and closing motions.

The straight blade profile keeps the cutting axis flat against the tissue plane, which helps maintain a uniform dissection depth. One blade carries fine serrations along its inner edge to hold soft tissue against slippage, while the blunt tips prevent inadvertent puncture of underlying nerves or vessels. The lightweight stainless-steel body reduces hand fatigue across extended procedures. The instrument is fully autoclavable and designed for repeated sterilization without dimensional change.

Plastic surgeons and facial cosmetic surgeons use rees facelift scissors during rhytidectomy; commonly called facelift surgery, to undermine skin flaps along the subcutaneous layer. The straight configuration of rees scissors is particularly useful when working across the cheek and anterior neck region, where flat, linear tissue separation is needed above the SMAS and platysma layers. The blunt tips let surgeons spread tissue open safely before completing any cut, reducing trauma to facial nerve branches running through that plane.

Leader Surgical maintains an uncompromising standard in the manufacture of facial plastic surgery instruments, a commitment reflected in every dimension, material, and finish that leaves their production floor.

What does “B/B” and “Str.” stand for?
“B/B” indicates Blunt/Blunt tips, which are rounded to allow for safer blunt dissection without accidentally piercing tissue. “Str.” signifies Straight blades, which provide a direct, linear cutting path for superficial or precise incisions.
